Good to have the footy back after having the bye last week.

Looking forward to seeing how our forward line stacks up with Stephenson unavailable for the rest of the home and away season. I worry that the inclusion of Reid will make us top heavy with Cox and Mihocek already in the side, but time will tell whether the selection pays off or not. I'm predicting one of JDG or WHE will hit their straps and kick a bag.

The battle will be won in the middle, and with Grundy up against Tim English, we need to take full advantage in the clearances which is why Sier is such an important addition to the team. In the round 4 clash against the Dogs, Grundy won the hitouts 60-6 against English which is a record high percentage of hitouts in the AFL era but only won the clearance count 33-26.

The Dogs have always seemed to trouble us in the past, so I don't expect an easy match. They're an inconsistent side who dropped easy games against Gold Coast, Carlton and North Melbourne but managed to beat Richmond and Brisbane and troubled us in round 4.

i think we're discounting the fact the Dogs have Liberatore out. He was instrumental against us earlier this season. Sier in helps us heaps.

Going to be a tough day at the Office, this one. Dogs are on their own pissing ground, no Stevo, our X factor, and I think Daicos should have come in. One of those games you just want to win by any margin, any at all, and get the hell outa that shithole ground. Magpies by 11 points. Hopefully. !

Will there be heated seating?

I'm going & I'm still freezing cold after a bike ride to Frankston at 6.30 this morning. I think I've got 10 toes. Friggin' hell it was a cold pea souper this morning.

I have a feeling the Pies are foxing...expect Daicos to be a late in!

[derkd]
