Mentioned on the main page something like 85,000 tickets sold for the game. If true wow should be capacity on the day.

MCC visitor passes sold out, so it will come down to AFL members and MCC members showing up. Should be large and loud!

Again, experience will bide the players well win, lose or draw.

 

[the big lebowski]

So, my team for this week. Assuming everyone bar wells is fit:

B Hansen Thompson Wright

HB Atley Tazz Spud

C NDS Cunners Boomer

HF Nahas Petrie Higgins

F Turner Brown Waite

R Goldy Swallow Jacobs

Int Ziebell Macmillan LT (Bastinac)

If there is any doubt on either Turner or LT then Gibson and McDonald come in.

I agree with all of it... Except Gibbo will play. LT will not.

Do you realise that it will be 366 days since that epic Cats Final on Sunday?

I reckon that both of these will be fullish...the MCC have no excuse with snow softening.

I think it will be pushing 90k. I know a few mutual supporters going along and I don't think they will be alone. Should be a bumper...

 

[Gasometer]

This will be Boomer's 407th game.

 

[JordanStorm]

Waite could be massive for us. Rance will likely go to Drew again, Chaplin to Big Ben, leaving Batchelor/Grimes to go to Waite...I like Waite's chances on either one of those two

Really comes down to delivery for both waite and brown - they get it put into front of them they are unbeatable.

Drew really needs to play the decoy role and take rance out of play

Rance cant play on all three.

 

[nicko74]

Chaplin hasn't trained too much this week either.....

 

[Psicosis]

No doubt, their back 6 (bar Rance) is the biggest hole in their lineup. Our forwards should have a field day with the right supply.

 

[Psicosis]

The more I think about Martin the more he worries me, I think to keep him under 25 and a couple goals will be near impossible. Would love Sam Wright and Scott Thompson to put a lot of work into him when he is up forward, antagonize him and make the most of his short fuse.

B: Wright Tarrant Firrito
HB: Hansen Thomson Atley
C: Dal Santo Jacobs MacMillan
HF: Harvey Waite Ziebell
F: Brown Petrie Higgins
R: Goldstein Swallow Cunnington
I: Turner Thomas Bastinac (sub)Daw

em: Dumont, Nahas, McKenzie

In: Firrito, Thompson, Wright, Dal Santo, Waite, Higgins, Goldstein, Swallow, Cunnington, Thomas
Out: Tippett, Mullett, McDonald, Dumont, Gibson, Wood, Black, Nahas, Garner, McKenzie

Would love to see Daw come on half way through the third and show the desperation and attack on Player and Ball he showed in the first half last week, not necessarily as a tall forward either, maybe as a tall mid, and if Dusty or Deledio need a bit of a whack, who better then Daw to do it. But don't worry I am merely a crazy old man with a thought of something left field for this week. and I have had a gut full of Gibbo, now he knows we are sick of his OOTFs he is deciding to hold the ball and get tackled instead of kicking the thing, just have another watch of the second half, twice he got caught not sure what the truck to do.

If Thomas does not come up, in comes Dumont as a forward.

Last year they estimated 70k for North vs Essendon and it was closer to 80k.

If that's the case footy is the winner

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

If that's the case footy is the winner

all depends on the mcc turning up tigers always do your mob will as well if they don't should be released to the public there is 120k members between us should be a sell out

 

[giantroo]

Last year they estimated 70k for North vs Essendon and it was closer to 80k.

Yes they re-adjusted the amount to 80k last year.

If he misses their odds will shorten
