We're in first gear and Hawks are in 2nd. If they go to another it's going to get ugly. We need to take the game on more. They have nothing to lose.

I was in Las Vegas for a bucks week. It was evening there (the day before). I had mates messaging me in Australia saying "What is going on!?". No one could believe it. Scrambled to find a place to watch it and ended up at The Tropicana watching it in a very dusty, small and old sports/betting bar that by chance had it on one very small screen amongst a wall of about 50 TVs. We had been to Penn and Teller earlier that night and had effectively walked the length of the Strip after the show to find somewhere playing the game. Anyone that has been to Vegas know how long that walk is. Let's just say I had lost a lot of water weight that night. From memory there was a Carlton game playing in a few bars but looking at the fixture it must have been a replay of the Carlton Port game from the day before, playing on ESPN. Anyway we watched the entire last quarter and there were a lot of elderly Americans looking very confused at a bunch of Aussie cheering hysterically as we squinted to watch a TV effectively the size of the screen on the back of a plane seat in economy. Afterwards we walked the strip and found a very ****ty rock bar offering $30USD for unlimited drinks for 3 hours. Found out later the place had a shooting there a week earlier and so they were basically herding people in off the street with cheap drinks. All in all turned out to be a great night lol Where were YOU for Gawn's breakout game?

50k at least. My understanding is they expect 45k-55k off the back of pink lady, Gawn's 200th, and lots of free tickets given away.

Craigieburn line, Dees fans outnumber Hawks 10:1.

Carlton will win this off the back of marks in the corridor. Since quarter time they just take so many marks smack bang in the middle.

Come on Suns you absolutely useless organisation. Do right by the footy community.

Suns gotta be filthy with this. How many goals over the back have Carlton had this game?

Blues getting a ride here once again.

True but that was North. Gold Coast is miles ahead and made Brisbane look second rate three weeks ago. Carlton's grand final was last week.

It won't make a difference if Carlton lose. Although a win for Gawn would be good.

Gold Coast will need to play on at every opportunity to even have a chance today. Can't compete defensively with Carlton.

If you win the QF you get a home Prelim. If you lose the QF or win an EF, the Prelim is an away game. If we win our first QF regardless of location and regardless of opponent, our Prelim is at the MCG. Even if the opponent finished higher.

Collingwood is still most likely to finish 1st and we would back ourselves in to beat them. Meaning we'd never travel. I'd rather play interstate in the QF than a Prelim.

Honestly is he were smart he'd take his paycheck and stick around. He's a walk-up Reserve, no questions asked. Gawn ain't playing 22-26 games a year anymore. Doubt he'll accept that thoughh.

So what they say about the MCC is true?

Nah it's about right. GWS game was outrageous given neutral venue and how both teams were playing at the time.

Weird flex by Collingwood to be throwing the game against Brisbane given we're they're biggest threat (provided we lock away 4th).

He barely played in his first 6 seasons so the stat isn't surprising when you think about it.

I've seen lots. Just got an email from the club as well. https://shop.melbournefc.com.au/gawn-200/ Also seen a few interviews on TV (these would be organised by the media department).

Who do you replace him with? A forward line of Fritsch, Melksham, JVR, and Smith is agile, strong, and plays taller than it is.

Milpool.....

Nothing against the kid but he shouldn't be in a top 4 side this deep into the season. He'd struggle to make North's 22.

The irony of them saying this is the worst top 4 in their lifetime when they won a flag against a Ross Lyon-coached Fremantle team lol

with figures this large, excluding that game doesn't make much difference. The average increases by 2-3k (estimate without me actually looking at the numbers].

Nothing against Hawthorn but I think we'll put on a clinic on Sunday. I rate the Hawks but we'll get it done.
