Game Day Round 17 vs. West Coast @ MCG – 1:10 pm AEST

[Dancing Potato]

The early bird gets the worm, and I reckon the early Game Day Thread creator gets the better sleep.

So, what's on the line? For us, it's our season. For West Coast it's literally nothing. This always bodes well. In fact, a cosy 9th place on the ladder is up for grabs for the fearsome MFC (unless we can pull out an almighty percentage booster).

But the real news this week is that milk deliveries are back on the menu boys. Yes that's right, the club is hoping that their Melkshakes will bring all the supporters to their yard. In a completely uncharacteristic move, Goody has chosen to bring the classy veteran straight back into the lineup after a massive injury layoff. VFL and sub vests are for losers son, so get your Melky butt back out there and save our season please. May his bones not be brittle.

Our three most recent encounters would suggest that one of these teams is going to get embarrassed. Funnily enough, I don't think it will be us this time.

Dees by 36.

We lose this I think there will finally be heat on simple Simon.

 

[Topkent]

Hopefully another loss

If we lost to the Weagles at the 'G then absolutely there would have to be.

We shall see .

The early bird may well get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

 

[Scythe94]

Looking forward to them kicking away during one quarter, then putting the cue in the rack and coasting to an ugly 3-4 goal win

 

[Scythe94]

Friendly reminder all – blame Goodstuff, not Melk, when the latter doesn't get near it tomorrow.

 

[jhong]

Just hope Melksham gets through the match first . Worry about his form later .

Then the usuals telling us the wheel has turned and we're back and should be happy with the win

 

[Topkent]

I'm not worried about melk, guys come back from ACLs fine all the time these days. Hamstrings and calves are worse

 

[CNDee]

Plenty of kids being played at the moment which is keeping the season interesting. Thought the connection between disco and kozzie was fantastic last week and hoping for more opportunities at goal from those 2.

Enjoying watching the young kids play..genuinely think WCE are a chance today. If there senior players play well, it's not going to be an easy game. No doubt the doom and gloom squad will want us to lose. Hoping for a solid win and Melk gets through unscathed. I want to see Vines and Oliver continuing their efforts from last week's first 3 quarters. Actually the senior players as a whole step up and get this done.

 

[Johnny Karate]

West Coast are $5. Time to load up.

 

[schmuttt]

Feel like JVR is slowly building to a big game, won’t get many better chances then today.

This is one we should win. Goodwin tried a new game plan and it didn’t work so happy we’ve gone back to the old style since norf and we’re looking a chance every week now. Agree viney and oliver need to be in the best nearly every week for us to win games but if Riv keeps his projection going that will make the on ball situation easier. Hoping to see salo get game time in there as well. So in effect I’d hope next year we’d have viney, a fit clarry, a recovered Trac, riv, salo and then kozi, spaz all running through the centre

Bit of talk (rumour) going around Lever could be a late out.

 

[Headless]

From the West Coast board:

Pass on watching

I'm out

Sounds like a lot of supporters from the two teams are on the same page!

Hope so. But with Melksham the Petty replacement it means even more pressure on JVR to be backup ruck. Really wish we'd do something different there so our best key forward can actually stay forward.

[Toump Ass]

1pm is a nice time slot get this shit over and done with.

They don't need to match up, they can just stand still and wait for Viney and Oliver to play markers up with them

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Would have been the perfect game to give Jefferson a taste of seniors. I guess we're hoping Melk can inspire the team to get over the line. lol
