What

I begrudgingly admire how well the Pies have gone this season despite being slaughtered by injury. I think they run out of gas tonight though. Tigers by 76.

We need running power over there. We have been overwhelming teams with our midfield depth. Even if Tyson has an off game hes still clocking up huge kilometers. And his kicking is perfect for our 'chaos' game plan.

Yeah, I would feel bad for Bayley but the swap would make sense. But its just a rumour and comes from FB, so whats the odds it actually happens....

Until we flex our muscle to the AFL and demand we train on the MCG, I won't consider it our ground sadly.

Dropped or injury? Geez that would be brutal for Bayley, hes played every game this season.

Somebody pinch me...

Out - Gold Coast, GWS In - Fitzroy, Tassie

54 years... bloody hell. What an insane drought. We could break it just 10 days from now. Quite strange when you think of it that way. Two games, 10 days. So close to the ultimate glory.

Nobody wants the Eagles to win besides their supporters. They would have no chance vs the Tigers in the Grand Final, whereas we can take it right up to them and we are the most exciting team in the comp.

Were any of them umpiring our game vs Hawks and did either of them give those two ridiculous 'sliding' free kicks against us?

Maybe we were never into him? Lets see what Mahoney and co. have up their sleeves. Kelly, Sheil or Whitfield.... one of them will be a Demon.

Mentioned on the AFL podcast today that there will be 2,300 Demon supporters heading over from Melbourne. If you think that doesn't sound like many, its the most ever. Not even the Pies have ever had that many Vic fans travel West.

Melbourne's flavour-of-the-month midfielder James Harmes has the AFL's finals tackles record in his sights. Harmes laid 11 tackles against Hawthorn and 10 against Geelong to make him one of four players with double-digit tackles in consecutive finals since Champion Data began recording them in 1999. The others were Lenny Hayes (2010), Ryan O'Keefe (2012) and Liam Shiels (2016), while former Footscray hard man Tony Liberatore also managed the feat in 1992. No player has done so in three straight post-season matches, and Harmes is also halfway to Hayes' 2010 finals record of 42 from four games. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-18/the-stats-files-the-makeshift-defence-kicking-goals#/

Beat them there in 2017. Beat them there 5 weeks ago. We will beat them there on Saturday.

It doesn't matter if they purposely put 19 men on the field or not. Even if it was an accident, they should be stripped of the win.

Eagles are my equal most hated team along with Geelong. I dont know why. I just hate them. Maybe a lot to do with the drug culture they had there and the path of destruction it left on many lives and how guys like Worsfold and Nisbett haven't been held accountable and are still employed in the AFL. Then the Gaff hit on Brayshaw. The fact they are the biggest downhill skiiers in the league. I also hate Chris Judd who I still consider an Eagle. And dont even get me started on their supporters,,,, BOOOOOOOOOO. They are the worst in the country. Keep fighting the good fight over there... I don't mind the Dockers.

Gus will be our 3rd highest vote getter and poll double figures easily. Surprised he wasn't invited.

This man is a legend.

I hope the West Coast fans are louder than they've ever been. Our guys will love it. You can not intimidate this Melbourne team, you bozos!

Interesting. Would have Joel Smith in ahead of him.

Wow, that team was so inexperienced. The average games played would lucky to be over 50.

#13 is so close you can taste it. Beat West Coast and Richmond. Two games. We will do this.

Yeah its a pretty tough gig in all fairness. I love seeing BT in our rooms cos it means we are winning Friday night games... and in finals no less.

I don't know how non-West Coast/Freo supporters handle living there.
