    We need a great start, like we did against port. We need them to take more risks than they normally would, hopefully creating enough turnovers to take advantage of.

    The media are pretty much saying/expecting Melb to win. The way Gary Lyon craps on, he expects it as well.

    Let’s ruin his, and every other demon supporters party.
    We all hope they’re feeling the pinch, but I don’t get that vibe from Gawn & co, they seem kinda care free at times, even during games.

    Will be interesting to see their response should they fall behind us by 4+ goals at some point, but their round 23 miracle will be something they will no doubt use mentally.

    Let’s hope Bevo & boys put this on replay and use it as yet more fuel for us.

    Who could possibly hate Max Gawn?

    Am I out of touch or are the children wrong?

    I like Max… doesn’t take himself seriously and seems like a ripping bloke.

    Not his fault he plays with a number of tools.

    Still haven't seen a so called expert tip the Dogs yet, the only push for us is around the fact we have gotten an advantage around the draw again looooooooooooooooooooool

    We are about to put our best side on the park for the year(bar 1) are in form and the competitions best player gets the week off he needs. Look out I reckon, Bevo would be loving this.

    Pretty much. Sat through On the Couch….Ok I did it for the team, but yep all think the Dees will win in a canter. They aren’t going to lose according to the experts. The Dees must be firmer than the Swans back in ‘16.

    I just can’t see the Dees kicking a huge score against us. We will nullify Brown and McDonald. Fritsch will be found wanting. The only one I am concerned about is Pickett.

    We will lose hit outs but dominate clearances. Our contested footy is peaking. We are primed.

    I don't see crapping their pants as an issue either. I agree with you Trag - I think they have already won it in their heads. They just have to turn up and play footy, and they win because they think they're better than us.

    Hopefully that plan goes as well as it did for Port.

    Initially I had this as tight, gruelling game. I have changed my mind. Someone is getting flogged.

    I reckon it’s them.

    Not sure why I don't like him, I just don't.

    I honestly thought prior to this year he was a fraud and an average ruckman.

    It's that condescending smirk he's rocking.

    Oh and the goat eyes and stolen from the deliverance prop bin beard.

    I feel pretty relaxed about this game. Provided we don't turn the ball over and provided we nail our chances and allow them to stay in the hunt, I don't see us losing. I think we'll win by 25 points and be in front for most of the game.

    We are a different outfit compared to the last time we played them. The ins are all big ins. We have experience, momentum and hunger. The efforts since the loss to Port will all have been for NOUGHT if we don't win this! That's a big driver. Furthermore, Melbourne have a greater dependence on a few key players performing at their peak. We have a more even spread.

    Seems fairly obvious but damn it is critical.

    When we played them in round 9 I still have vivid memories of Dale turning over a couple kicks he'd normally nail. From there it all fell apart.

    Is a knome a chrome gnome, like the one in Frankston?



    I can't find too many reasons to dislike Big Max (a 12th Man joke comes to mind here). I mean when there are guys like Toby Greene, Mitch Robinson, Dayne Zorko, et al running around Maxy is a fair way down the list.
