I know he?s pretty much done as an AFL footballer (has he actually retired yet?), but I?m pretty happy not seeing Ben Brown?s name on the Demons team sheet. Billings is also omitted and he cut us up in round 1.
Should win.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
No matter what the try to pull. We will win this one easily.

I would love for all the fellas to wear black boots. Some of them might have to have them painted (not unrealistic). The boots could all be auctioned off as part of the fundraiser. They could be signed and be 'Footscray Forever' collectors items.
Tonight means so much. We have a real shot to stake a real claim. Current mood ....
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready
I'm more nervous about tonight than I was last week, mainly because I thought we were a decent chance against the Swans but I think we should be morals against the Dees and that's an uncomfortable feeling.
My biggest cause for concern isn't their key defenders chewing us up. It's if we've gone too tall and immobile down back. They have some really crafty, mobile types that can cause us trouble (Pickett, Fritsch, Neal-Bullen). I hope we don't let them off the chain due to the wrong match ups.

How long has it been since we won a game we absolutely should have won against a team between 9-15. Feels like at least 5 years.
This is a very meaningful game for a lot of reasons.
We just have to find a way to win against a bogey team and not them beat us the same way yet again. Literally our last few losses against them feel like carbon copies. Start ok, they peg us back, we stop scoring and before you know it the game is finished and they're up by 6 goals somehow.
We also have a chance to exorcise our demons (lol) from last year after those monumental losses to West Coast & Hawthorn. Melbourne are better than those two sides, but they're just going and are nowhere near their best.
If this team is legit, they win tonight.
