Preview Changes for the SF v Brisbane: Friday 9 September, MCG, 7:50pm

[demondavey]

G'day all - What end is the Melbourne Cheer Squad usually at? Getting tickets sorted and don't really want to sit with y'all..... No offence

 

[mrmonkey]

Just got tickets before, once again missed the member pre sale tickets, but was less worried this time around and made sure I was at the better end. Would be better if you choose more specifically you want to sit oh well.

System is a joke.

Na, 100% intentional imo, he was facing the direction the kick went. . He would straightened up if he was going for the top of the square or the kick would have been more like a snap across the body/swung his leg thru at a different angle.

Looking back over the Harmes kick I stand by everything I said above and more, the ball came off his boot as sweet as could be, an absolute laser to Fritsch's chest, didnt deviate in the air at all. Smith didnt effect the kick in anyway either.

Yeah it was definitely intentional but Harmes hits that kick maybe one in five times at best.

Happy to believe that - big question is if the coach was ok with the kick that started the avalanche.

If we had an entry like that after the three goals in quick succession to start the third quarter I reckon we might have tipped the game over the edge.

We're awesome when we play with dare and move fast. And we've played better momentum footy than anyone.

Just hope we have another moment in the prelim where Fritsch leads to the fat side and someone is brave enough to break the rules.

Not so sure... It didn't need to be perfect because there was so much space to lead on to it could have missed by 5 metres and Fritsch still would have got to it.

He kicked it ootf trying to pull off a similar kick 5 mins later.

Edit: Actually think I mixed up Gus and Harmes on that one

 

[demondavey]

If we get angry at terrible forward half disposal why would we put Hunt down there?

Exactly

 

[Imet Hassa]

So…
Spargo is now literally a choker
TMac has risen to saviour status
Trac will play, possibly in a moon boot
Gus will play centre, back and wing
Melky was a false dawn now with a sore knee
Slick has the other sore knee
Salo is on his standard 3 week trajectory post injury
ANB has running perfected
BBB is moving like a cute loveable baby giraffe
Kossie is doing degree of difficulty 10 moves where the ball isn’t
and …
Jacko is forward thinking

No changes

Seems all good to me, Dees in a close one for our third encounter of the season with Brisbane.

**** I love this gif

Was wondering what you were talking about.

 

[CWaffles]

Couldn’t believe Hunt missed that pass to give us a shot on goal against the swans, he needs to learn to slow down and settle before kicking, has a paddock to kick into

 

[Toump Ass]

You are mad. It was 80/20 Melbourne supporter dominance.

Looked that way but it sure didn't sound like it. I was right in front of the corporate boxes on level 2, surrounded by a fair few Swans supporters with a roof over my head so obviously not the best place to judge, but I was still really surprised how much louder they sounded and how tame we were in comparison.

Unfortunately I missed the Sparrow goal and the 2 before it because the harness racing was on in the Founders bar, woooooo.

 

[Daemon]

I wish everyone would stop saying "in the prelim". What if Brisbane actually learnt something and play differently? What if Goody changes nothing from the Sydney game?

It felt pro Sydney to me to but I had a similar problem, sitting at the city end near the cheer squad (I thought I was level 2 when I bought the tickets) also under cover. Watching the replay on kayo you can tell it's pro Melbourne crowd, but there is a good representation of Sydney supporters in the crowd.

 

[demondavey]

out- BB, Melksham, Sparrow
in- JVR, Bowey, Smith

i'm blowing up the forward line. it's too predictable and i'm bringing in direct, lower, quicker entries. get some chaos ground ball and tackle pressure instead. anyone found kicking anything closely resembling a slow play high ball to the forward pocket is to be dropped for next week or delisted if we lose.

B- Hibberd May Petty
HB- Salem Lever Rivers
C- Langdon Oliver Brayshaw
HF- Spargo J.Smith Pickett
F- Hunt JVR Fritsch
R- Gawn Viney Petracca
I- ANB, Harmes, Jackson, Bowey

Do not out Hunt there. Just no. Put Harmes in the F50.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Sorry for the intrusion, but have been told Smith is a definite in this week likely for melksham. Just passing on information

ffs

Nah you guys are mad, I was next to the Swans cheers squad but that was easily one of the biggest Dees fans turn outs I've ever seen, I reckon there had to be 60k of us maybe even close to 65k. It was very loud when we got that 2 goals in a minute of the third. We just had nothing to cheer for literally the last 40 minutes of the game, which is when the crowd is usually the loudest in just about any reasonably close game for any club.

For all the shit we've copped this year for apperently not turning up, I thought it was a very impressive crowd for a non big 4 supporter base.

It was our biggest crowd against interstate Oppo (albeit with south Melbourne supporters) since the 80s iirc

Pity they had to let us down lol

I feel like I talk about crowds a lot but I love the big games like QB and Anzac eve.
Hell even games with 50-60k provide good atmosphere (like the one against Carlton) so hopefully we get at least 60k on friday

 

[netslave]

strong ATG representation for the Swans game, good to see.

 

[schmuttt]

28k tickets sold for the game, not including mcc. Be interesting to see the crowd, I’d guess 50k?

I'm not saying I thought it was a pro Sydney crowd, just that where I was sitting. I could tell overall there was a pro Melbourne crowd and could see it from the members all away around to the punt Rd end it was all red and blue.

My old man told me to not buy him a ticket, I did anyway, if he doesn't want to go, I'll take my missus instead. Anyway I'm thinking some supporters might hold off this week hoping to get through to the preliminary final. Finals tickets are expensive.

Who gives a **** about the ticketing?

 

[Demon13304]

Who gives a * about the ticketing?

I do. Big crowds are grouse as and add to the game

Pack it in boys, demondavey doesn't want any ticketing discusison.
