DEES FIRST UP AT ETIHAD

[perfectionist]

Actually this game should be for the Carl Ditterich Cup. For my boyhood hero served who both clubs so well.

That's a great idea. There is no doubt that Big Carl was the genesis of the reinvigorating of the (then) VFL in the 60s.

Bloody happy to have an actual home game first up.

Best bit is that playing them in R1 means we will almost certainly play them twice.
So we are 2-0 without a ball being bowled.

They've made some bloody change to the system. If I don't untick it very single time I post it stalks me! And it's worse on the iPad for some reason because the place to untick it is, well, not obvious to me.

Not sure if anyone knows how to fix this, ah, "feature".

Good point. They may have to take a train in. Are you sure it's the same time slot?

I don't give a stuff about the Dees but they don't seem to get a game against us at the MCG very often. And we need to play a few games there if we are ever going to win the big dance.

[saintspremiers]

The Ox is having a sook about the game being at Etihad. He should plonk a few grand on us at $1.80 and shut up.

11 of our last 20 games against them have been at the MCG. We have won 7 of those 11. One of those wins was by almost 15 goals! One of the non-MCG matches was played at Carrara. We have only played 8 of our last 20 games against them at Docklands, which makes our 14 wins in a row against the Dees a very good effort.

[longtimesaint]

The Melbourne supporters who think Ethihad is the reason why we beat them are delusional.
We beat them because we are the better team and match up well on them. We beat them at the MCG in 2015 by 6 goals.
We played well at the MCG last year and won all three games there.
I will be confident against Melbourne at the MCG if we play them there later in the year.

Four of the last seven years we haven't had another game against our round 1 opponent.
