Gee it would be great to see highlights from that game. Was a fantastic night. That's when we really cemented our spot in the 8. http://www.finalsiren.com/MatchDetails.asp?GameID=758&Code=aa4ab299826a20d7902bda9c6e57835f Frees 11-31 Sydney's way!

Losing Jones (or any mid for that matter) is perhaps the most manageable as we're playing with fillers across the ground. IMO Jones is the most replaceable of all the main mids but at the same time we can't understate his presence. This is why we got guys like Lewis and Vince into the squad and imo Lewis needs to play the best game of his time at the club. We could probably afford a straight swap for Gawn - Jones. Wouldn't be surprised if some players of the ANB variety are "managed" and we bring in a JKH or Stretch. Something tells me though that Goodwin isn't massive on Stretch atm and JKH is a likely in for ANB. That's not to say ANB deserves to be dropped but it might just be a matter of fresh legs.

If we both win it'll be 50k+. Bookmark it.

Power hasn't beaten anyone above 10th and are 0-5 against top 8.

Imo Jones missing is our most easily covered of the potential outs. It's big, no doubt but we have depth in that area. If we lose Hibberd and/or Watts, these are key positions that hurt structure as we saw in the early days of no Hogan and Gawn. Jones is covered by Stretch, JKH, AND then Trengove. If it's only Jones that misses, is it a straight swap for Gawn or do we look to do a like for like and still drop someone for Gawn and then replace Jones with Stretch? If Watts and Jones don't get up then that makes it easier, Gawn and Stretch based on some here. I can see JKH being a potential in here as well after two very good VFL performances. I wonder how a game directly in the middle might go for him with Gawn in as well. My prediction: In: Gawn, JKH Out: Watts, Jones Obviously not ideal but I think it's a decent swap and not just a "filling the sheet" one. I wouldnt be surprised if Pedo is used as a floating defender this week as he was a bit against the Dogs. Can't see him getting drop with the Eagles big bodies on the horizon. If Hibberd misses as well then you'd expect Wagner to. Trengove is very lower depth player now. Unless we lose 3 mids, he's not getting a game. It's that simple, guys. Sad, but true.

General Admin tickets. Simple as that. You can reserve your seat but it's randomised. Wont be more than 40k so will be plenty of seats on the lower levels.

Etihad Stadium - Eitherpes Collingflog Essendrug Hawthorn Dawks or Whoreforn St Kilda 'Aints Norf Ninthmond Fweo Sid-a-knee Thats all I got.

He looks super good.

Your goal, Bugg.

It's mental in the crowd.

Is this our first "on" first quarter of the season.

Pressure has been real good.

I think the fact we're coming off 6 says with no changes suggests coaching staff is backing the group in. Fairly confident.

Don't think he was Yze Magic.

Rather shocked by this. He added me on Facebook randomly to talk Melbourne. Always invited me for a beer but the Royal Pre-game with the misses is a hard sell lol funny guy and very kind. One of the most passionate Dees fans out there. Seems his family took his Facebook page offline. Understandable.

Just watched the replay. He was generally awful but stood tall in the final stanza to draw what they a "professional" free kick. Anyone saying he should go to the VFL has rocks in their head.

Seems like there are seats outside in the AFL Members if you're stuck in the nosebleeds. Fam had reserved seating on level 3 but got seats downstairs.

Hey it's a tough battle with sanity during close games when they're finding a way to lose but thanks for the public service

Stuck "working". In the US for a conference and right now I'm preparing to go out for drinks which means I'll miss the match. I have my international pass though and a US sim with data so I'll be streaming discreetly when I can. What crowd does the MCC predict?

We'll win and win well imo. Most confident I've been all year.

Football commentary has been bad since Grybass passed. He was a star. Smart, witty, with a superb football IQ. Knew how to read and call the play without relying on hyperbole and over excitement. Even made boring games enjoyable. BT and Co these days make exciting games a chore to listen to.

Just got into LA. Checked the AFL app and saw Bombers smash Port and Brisbane destroy Freo. We are better than those three and Freo's form suggests Collingwood ain't that flash hot either. We should absolutely smashed them imo. We are top 4 quality imo. Melbourne has to have the lowest average losing margin, surely?

Wagner plays if Watts doesn't get up. Salem for Watts. If Watts plays it's Salem for Wagner. Simples really. Suspect JKH will come in for Bugg regardless.

I don't need to read The Age to hate myself. I work in creative industries. I'm reminded every day about how I've ruined civilisation. Being a man is one thing. But white? Game over, man.
