In between the hysterics, this forum offers intelligent criticisms and often lands on the truth. Far better than mainstream media or social media. For instance, the failings of PK and Glover this season have been rightly discussed. Also when things go well, like on the weekend when PK gets it right with tactics and subs, this is also reflected.

Wrong questions. Only question should be. Whats the PAX at?

Idiots. Can't they start from $25 and they probably would even fill AAMI

If sometimes you find yourself feeling useless... remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four U.S. presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

Certainly felt like the best crowd and atmosphere we'd had in a long time, last years GF not withstanding.

Highly Important Information..... PAX currently 8173

Disagree strongly with this. The last game we played against them from memory we might not of started off well but I remember we came home like the tide and were not lucky to win. Both teams are evenly balanced imo, the keys to success come down to the following: -The midfield (more specifically frenchy). If frenchy can offer us something more then he did on sunday, and not get nullified by kilkenny, its going to make our attack so much more diverse.It'll also stop us having to always overly on our wingers so much -Stopping connor paine: Lachie wales is still a pretty meh playing to me, but paine is the real danger. He's lightning quick and his service while still not perfect, has gotten much better. Whoever is marking him (I assume jamo) really needs to be all over him and not give him any time or space on the ball -Scoring first and early: We really need Jmac or one of our other wingers to pull their finger out and score early on. Western will look to do the same and then just sit back for the rest of the game. They are more then capable of defending a 1-0 lead as shown throughout most of this season so we really need to be sharp and score when we are given a great chance. THE WILDCARD: CARL JENKISON FORWARD RUNS: As we know are system relys on overlapping fullbacks and even though most teams pick up the jamo and leckie, nabbout and jenkinson don't seem to have that same synergy. Often nabbouts wing its him running at one, two defenders but the time jenkison comes forward and overlaps, more times then not he is wide open to deliver a cross into the box. If he can do one of those overlapping runs and deliver a peach of a ball in, thats our first goal right there. Its a very winnable game but yes, it's going to be tight!

i had the same problem, had to book bay 14 since 16 wasnt available, 15 was virtually full and my 6 yo nephew is coming to his second game this season (my sister in law would de-own me and my brother if we took my nephew into the heart of active). i thought the only important question was what time is the march?

Lol yes you can.

Maybe being kept out of the national youth side after being a perennial shoe in, has woken him up a bit. Credit where credit is due though.

I liked the look of him when he bursted on the scene last season. I wonder what happened this season, don’t think played much this season.

OK... got 5. See you all Saturday. 3-1 City win. Next.

5pm

Ticket secured, front row dead centre baby!! 😁 I'm optimistic we'll get a full house for this one, Melbourne loves a derby and it loves a final.

Maybe you were just hungry. And everything looked good.

~9,500 crowd number was very enjoyable for all, more of that kind of turn out, please.

Nice to see the best 2 Melbourne teams battling it out 😂

IMO Raphael has already proved himself as the back-up.
