Freo by 23.
I base my decision on this:

Family Court Ruling - Victoria

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama yesterday
when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge
initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child
custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained
to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him
more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried
out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning
that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the
judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who
should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child
welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the
Melbourne Demons football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Hahaha!

Very very good joke Freo1995 !

 

[samseenee]

So Sam and jonni will bump the crowd up to about? what? 15 people?

 

[E Shed]

I feel like such a tragic, I'm really excited about watching our boys go around for the 3'rd last time this year. It would be great for all the young guns to get another win on the road and at the place where they really need to know how to win.

 

[hoss]

I just hope the players show Melbourne a bit more respect than this thread does. Otherwise we'll get rolled by them again.

 

[LeighJ]

I live in richmond - right opposite the MCG. It's peltng down and the wind is extreme -- almost Perth like (Melbourne seldom gets these winds).

About to head over.

Late changes perhaps?

Expect a lower skill level game than you already probably expected.

 

[silverscope]

No late changes to the sides:

[LeighJ]

Anyway, the wind's died down a bit. Still wet. Lookng forward to having a kick after the game on the ground. Go Freo.

 

[Chris25]

General consensus seems to be that we will win, and if we play like we did last week then we should do so.

But I wouldn't discount Melbourne. I'd expect this is the game that they have marked in as their fourth and final win for the season. I don't think we'll be seeing any 'interesting' match-ups, like Paul Johnson on Chris Mayne.

Melbourne will come out firing, and I'm expecting a close yet ugly match.

 

[silverscope]

Bloody hell I'm at the pub watching the pre-game on fox and there is about five people at the ground

 

[blue gunslinger]

the who did and still play to packed houses!
Goodluck Freo!

 

[The Night Shift]

LoL!! There's like 3 people at the MCG... WTF?

 

[Rob]

Apparantly Jimmy Stynes is there.

Crowd just hit double figures.

 

[E Shed]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Melbourne win this. Bloody Robbo always tears us a new one. Jurrah to stand on Dodds head.

 

[smkwd]

Why do C7 persist with Big Nose and Fatso at the start of all the Foxtel games?

Example: chatting about Melbourne's side, with the odds on screen (showing Melb paying $2.25 for the win), Fatso at the end of his dribble says "and that's why they're [Melbourne] favourites to win this game"...

FFS...

 

[E Shed]

Dwayne Russell must think he's in hell having to call this. He hates us with a passion.

Shades of the Brisbane game a few weeks ago?
My brother will be spewing - he put money down on us to win by more than 10 goals... we won't kick that many for the game...

 

[E Shed]

Nice start Luke!

 

[Rubber Pants]

Couple of brilliant things from Mayne at the moment.

1. The block for headland to mark
2. The spoil in Melbourne's 50 against Morton

 

[E Shed]

Drum looks to be having a crack. Mayne has been awesome.

 

[E Shed]

Mundy seeems at home in these conditions. Must be like playing in the country where he's from

 

[The Night Shift]

We're a little ordinary in this Melbourne wet..... a few turnovers starting to creep in

We've got to be a lot sharper...
