Interesting we have 8 forwards tonight including Mannagh and Clohesy, and not including Danger. So one of Mannagh or Clohesy will be playing midfield minutes.

So good to see mannagh back in. He’s a spark. Hoping he has a big one

 

[allrighty]

Different experience for me on this one - will be watching from 3Dragons Sports Bar in Hoi An - hope I don't get kicked out

Love Hoi An. Visiting?

I think it might be time to start considering Duncan . Get the games clocked. The grounds are a bit softer now

He is slowing down and struggles to get free to use those vaunted kicking skills. My main beef with him is the ‘bruise free’ footy. 4 kids will do that…

 

[Mr Meow]

Not sure if I'm buying that Stanley wasn't always going to play tonight.

Not sure it matters.

We often seem to get Melbourne on the rebound after an internal drama or poor performance. Need to bring our A game tonight.

Interesting stat on Fox.

Since 2023, if opposition teams have more than 80 uncontested marks, we win 41% of the time.

Cameron has been our forward 50 target 5 times in the first 3 weeks according to stats on Fox.

Neale has been our target 18 times, and Ollie Henry 10.

We need him forward a lot more tonight.

Or at least presenting when he's forward

Any chance we can sneakily get Joel to suit up for tonight ?

 

[catstorm]

Looking to be a pretty poor crowd right now, ground is half empty.

Not sure you're permitted 2 x #14s out there

Tag team

 

[cats_09]

Stewart & O'Connor both warming up with the defensive unit

J. Henry not doing the early run through warm ups with the rest of the team - chatting with Kelly instead and did a couple of ball drills with him

Dangerfield with the forwards, while Clohesy was warming up with them before being kicked out to the midfield group

 

[dewah07]

SDK back or fwd?

I wouldn't be surprised if there's still a good number outside waiting to get in and it starts to fill up during the first quarter

Most likely defence

Hope so, this would be a bad look for the club for a Friday night match.

 

[Strange Cat]

Most likely defence

Would had thought it’d be a rotation with Stanley in forward line ?

 

[you pick one]

I can't shake this horrible feeling the Dees will be in front at quarter time.

 

[Generalissimo]

JUST WIN FARKEN

 

[patience]

Go Cats!

They're being extra vigilant with security checks tonight - I had to empty half my bag so they could see to get bottom of it and open pockets I've never had to open before

They're ensuring that everyone's getting waved over with the wand also

It's starting to fill up - not sure we'll get to 40k but into the 30s would be nice

The away crowd area is a little lacking

 

[cats_09]

Would had thought it’d be a rotation with Stanley in forward line ?

We've still got Neale, Cameron & O. Henry up forward

I thought it was more likely dropping back into defence when not rucking

Or maybe we unleash our 200cm+ wingman tonight

We'll find out soon
