Pre-Match: MAGPIES v Dees - All comments here.....

[Cam]

Why we will win:
- Jeff White is having a horror season, I know because the biatch is in my fantasy team
- Neitz is playing injured
- Our talented forward line has more class than their defence which is ok but regularly loose at best
- Davey is unreliable
- Johnstone is due for a downer
- Our backline is one of the best in the league, adaptable and hard at it.
- If its dry then Buckley may take the field
- Our tackling pressure will force them out of their comfort zone, where Melb play best
- Travis is a hard man to keep quiet
- Tazza will be dusting off his gag and whip as we speak
- Josh will be right after a couple of games
- Dane Swan has become someone else
- Didak & Caracella - U can't handle dis

Why we will lose:
- Expectations on young shoulders
- Our tackling pressure will not be there
- Melbourne's quicker midfield will send too much ball in their forward line
- Their underrated backmen will tie down our forwards through teamwork
- Davey is capable of going nuts
- Johnstone is having a great year
- White could turn his season around
- Bruce has been quiet for a while
- Yze is a hard man to nullify
- Dane Swan could be Dane Swan again
- Didak & Caracella - back to being jokers & queens for a day

Our major hurdle will be thier forward line. A five-pronged attack. How do we top that, without serverly stretching our defence?

I hear its been raining or pouring down there. Is that true? Thats going to throw the advantage to the smaller side i.e. Melbourne. It would also be another reason not to play Bucks.

Rained in the country, not so much in Melbourne. Blue sunny skies this morning (Monday).

I checked the weather just now on http://www.bom.gov.au (one of my favourite sites)

and here is the forecast

Monday
Fine for most of the day. A mostly sunny morning then cloud increasing with some
rain developing towards evening. Fresh northerly wind.

Lol.. your cutting and pasting will have to get better than that Johnno if you want to go to uni mate. Johnson in the team.. McGough? Another (helpful) tip.. don't use the same cliche twice in the same article (rich vein).

Bloody monday games..the waiting is killing me..

I think we can win but only if we put same pressure on the ball as we have last few weeks, if the intensity drops then i reckon we cld get slaughtered..

Still over 2 1/2 hours to go, time goes so slow sometimes..... bring it on Pies

[stonedpies]

and btw wat the furk is wrong with Johnno, cant find anything about him, must be a bloody bad corky which im startin to seriously doubt it is now..
Whatever it is i hope its not too bad, we need u out there johnno!!
