PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Feel like we're due for a shock loss against a bottom team. Hawthorn always seems to come to play against us. Teams like Carlton underperform. Hawthorn always performs exactly as you'd expect. They're getting Bruest back and their midfield is doing okay. Should be at least a 7-8 goal win.

That is the most early 2000s thing I've seen in some time.

NON-MFC: Rd 08 2023
They're okay. What's annoying is that teams fall into their traps soooopp easilyyyyy. Our second game against them being a prime example. They have 2-3 floaters in space across their defensive 50. They then go forward to an empty forward line with space. Sydney tried today to put their backline under pressure with quick and fast movement. Brisbane put the foot to the throat. Collingwood is very good at sucking teams into kicking it straight down their throats. They love the corridor and basically don't have to contend with backlines because their forwards essentially play as utilities. It's like the triangle offense but for footy. I am really looking forward to playing them.

I have never wanted to play a team more than Collingwood. I wish we were playing them this week. This need a good old fashioned belting.

Old Scarves
I had a scarf from 92 that I wore for close to 20 years until 2009 when it was lost in a move, likely thrown out erroneously. I've been wearing my 2010 scarf since. IMO it's the best of the "membership" scarves. Simple design, thick, and long.

The only way to beat both Melbourne and Collingwood is to just bury them from the first bounce. Close contests and they're just too good with too much polish. Surely if both teams are 1st and 2nd come King's Birthday we get 90k+?

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast
No changes unless Petty is ready. Not sure Brown, McDonald or Spargo make us any better. Schache will get another week. JVR may be managed but probably needs a rest anyway. In: Petty Out: JVR (managed) If Hibberd needs a week then you could swap him for Petty but depends on where Petty will be played.

Minimise cost to build and operare thus increasing profit margin, boosting demand. Hobart also has a smaller population than Geelong, you can't justify 45k stadium in a city with 200k people. 23k sounds just about right.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne
North won't be pushovers tonight. You can absolutely bet Clarkson will get them up for a game at the MCG on free to air against a flag contender. He did it multiple times at Hawthorn between 2004-2006 and he'll get it done a few more times this year. Hopefully not against us. There are a few players at North playing for their careers atm. Everyone is playing for a spot in Clarkson's North. At the very least, they'll start strong and give us a scare early. Perfect weather. Sunny and crisp all day according to BOM. Should be a good game. Hopefully a crowd lf 40k-ish.
