Are you men or mice?
We owe them one for last year, for John Greening, and for all the hogwash from Caroline, Patrick, Jim, Tim, Mike and all the other sanctimonious windbags of the fourth estate.
In 1974 after the Windy Hill Brawl, Richmond declared war on the Cardinals for their perceived bias. They trashed the Brownlow celebrations for Keith Grieg and won the flag by a big margin. Its about time the Magpies did something similar - on the scoreboard!

Massive game. It looks as though it may be a bit of a slop today with the weather and im not too sure who that will help. Possibly us with the fact that we have a smaller forward line and no Rocca, hence means more opportunities likely to be coming from the ground, not the air.
The saints fire power is in their forward line, this is where all their goals come from, their midfield dont kick many, statisticly, so its a major task at hand for the young backs once again to hold off the potent St. Kilda forward line. The Saints usually get good delivery on the lead hence i think a man dropping back in the hole, infront of Gehrig, Riewoldt and Kozi, if he plays.
Unlike last week we need to move the ball quicker. We may be able to do this on the bigger MCG. Last week we got caught out with numbers back in our forward line and it became difficult to find some open space to lead into. Move it quicker and efficiently and utilise Benny Reid on the lead, because his got some pace about him.
Massive game for us ladder wise. We drop this and one and we are way back in the pack, heading into a game against the top side, in form.
Go Pies.

Pretty short favourites, mind. Pies at $1.85 and Saints at $1.95David wrote:We may be going into this game as favourites, but this is simply a must-win, if there ever was one.
