Hopefully the media asks Goody about Smith.

No they are only allowed to ask about Grundy

Need some logistic advice from folks:

The game starts at 7.20, is 6.45 arrival at the gates enough time to get in and find seats etc. 

I assume it’s plenty of time, but has anybody found it has taken longer than this to get into the G with a packed out crowd?

If you can't get in and find your set in 35 minutes something is wrong.

Having said that it will be a bit of a logjam with digital tickets,bag checks and those fake metal detectors can really bog things up sometimes. On second thought get there at 6:30 if you can

i hear ya. selection will be very interesting

imagine this being Turners 4th game?

huge for the kid 

And second against Collingwood having debut last year on Queens birthday let's hope it her plays it's a more membrane game for him and the team than that one

And if Sean Darcy didn't go down he'd be playing the same role he was for us. Which if you remember he was doing horribly in the first few rounds and the local media where all over him

Anyone catch Craig McRae on Sen this afternoon on the run home ?

It's 32 minutes can't bring myself to listen to it but wouldn't mind a summation

I’ve felt that since he left us he’s had multiple digs at us. 

Really not a fan.

Howe is still bitter that Roos and the MFC didn't rate him as highly as he rated himself with good reason. The season he had before he left is was very average

Kynan Brown put in a mammoth performance yesterday in their wildcard round against Northern Knights.

25 disposals, 5 tackles, 4 marks and kicked 5.2 for the day.

We have a beauty on our hands I reckon.

That's an impressive stat line at any level. Playing in the best underage comp in the country and this kids improvement is amazing over this season.

The Guns  have taken a big leap as well

Going to be a huge call. I think TMac has to play Melksham's role. Athletically, i don't think they are too different from each other. Both strong and not super mobile. TMac has good forward craft can clunk em and kick straight.

We have to force the TMac-Moore and JVR-Murphy matchups - this gives JVR a chance. Quaynor will probably go to Fritta, which will leave Howe as their key interceptor. That is a pretty tall setup defensively, which means we have to either isolate or get it in chaotically allowing our smalls to do the damage. The wet weather doesnt bode well for them either as they are currently 17th for ground balls (over the ground - not sure defensively).

Agree tmac will come in for Melksham, but tmac is way less athletic and mobile when the ball hits the deck. Tmac is basically a zero in this area. It's my biggest worry bringing him in

Most of those names were good players, but Dean Terlich!!! He was seriously one of the least game aware players you have ever seen. 

But Col Sylvia is the sad one. Apart from his early passing, he had every football attribute you could ask for. Possibly the most wasted talent ever at MFC. Absolute gun who couldn't give everything he had to training and playing. O for what could have been!

Col had the power and talent of trac and a better kick for goal. Just never got the best out of himself for many reasons.

Good on him. was a good move for him even though he had to endure beltings every week. He would've been further down the pecking order whether the emergence of Mcvee ( or maybe we don't get mcvees season if hunt stayed) hunt will get another contract extension you'd think and not sure he would've at Melbourne

So could not give a flying F about these awards anymore. Just popularity contests based on the so called experts in the media.

Good on those who are recognised but it's just not what playing footy is about. 

Most pointless award in football. The premiership coach is the coach of the year

The Petty party 6 goals against Richmond was pretty great

Trac he went crazy eyes in that third qtr against the Swans to drag us back into it. Just like he went crazy eyes in the 21 gf. Trac in the zone is a man possessed and scary for any opposition

Forward I hope, he'll be destroyed by our backs

Im in M56. I cant believe how easy it was. I have no reason for this post except wow!

Im hoping M56 behind point post Punt road end is mainly MFC, anyone know?

It is , I am sitting there as are a few others posters in this thread should be mostly red and blue

I just jumped on the ticketek website out of curiosity, straight through. If you haven't got your tix left you should be able to get on

I think it was 2020 Steven May had 10 goals kicked on him all year yet was overlooked for Harris Andrews.

Yeah he was robbed in 2020.

Biggest demon robbery ever was 2005 when Robbo kicked 73 3rd in Coleman and love childs Shannon Grant and Brad Johnson took the medium forward slots with 40 odd goals each.

John Ralph, On the Couch just now implied there's concerns.....   FMD   

His job is to sensationalize things, wouldn't be taking that as a reason to be concerned

Wonder if tmac will play? Maybe a half to get some more match fitness

FMD. Hopefully nothing there but feet are really tricky. If he missis with Melksham out that would really hurt our forward set up and finals campaign
