Can we beat StKilda next week

Featured Replies

Posted

I reckon we are a chance next week. Our midfield is faster there is no Gehrig this time to carve us up and we are slowly beginning to play good football. If we can hold kosi and roo we should be alright. If we play with the intensity we played with yesterday we will do well. The only thng is its a TD. Our record there isn't great.

 

Too right we can beat them, but more importantly, we MUST show the same attack on the ball and the man that we did yesterday. We were so much harder than Tassie yesterday, and simply must carry it into the match against the "Soft" Saints. (Like Lyon's comment won't be firing his boys up, so we'll NEED to be as tough)

This is how you gain respect in the AFL community, and it's imperative we are consistently hard at the ball

Of course we can. St Kilda are not the most physical or aggressive side, so if we start against them like we started yesterday we're in with a chance. Hopefully Garland puts in another awesome effort on Riewoldt, and someone knocks out Milne. The fact its at TD doesn't help though.

 

According to the realfooty website:

Jared Rivers (Melbourne) hip

Colin Sylvia (Melbourne) hamstring

Nathan Carroll (Melbourne) hamstring

these are possible ins for this week.


Same theme coming thru on this thread - IF WE PLAY LIKE WE DID AGAINST TASSIE. This is the issue!!! If we do, we will win.

Lets just hope that Sundays intensity wasnt JUST for Neita !!!!

Pretty sure sylvia played for Sandy and i read somewhere that rivers said at an after match function he will play this week. Yze and CJ must be big chances also after a few good weeks at sandy.

Possible outs: Frawley, Valenti, Bell?, Bartram?...

yeah too bad robbo will be in doubt for this week after injuring himself.

 

whats happening with Juice? If robbo is out and Hollands shoulder looked a bit iffy, we need some type of forward target?

Absolutely. Just need to continue the intensity and passion.

And I think I'd rather Gehrig there, just now :)


we should beat them - if we perform at the same level as against the gunn's timber hawks, we will win going away and put pressure on lyon and his team of underperforming hacks!!

do we want to win though? i know, i know - very negative talk but with the blues and tigers both going to win more than 5 games or they should, it would leave the team that finishes last with the number 1 draft pick....

If Robbo and Holland can come up I think we will be a big chance but if not I can't see how we are going to kick a big enough score.

We can easily beat them

Sti.Kilda are woeful!

Slower than hell, a very poorly coached outfit.

Demons by 5 goals.

Bate, Sylvia and Miller should be the main forward targets if Robbo and Holland dont come up.

i thought holland was alright, cos he went down in to the rooms to check his shoulder and a few minutes later was on the field playing...

Would definitely like to see Sylvia back in. Maybe even Dunn?

Newton, it seems, has fallen into oblivion.

Sure we can Beat St.kilda. Same intensity is a must. I would put robbo in doubt,but Ben Holland could hopefully play with a little jab before the game. I Hate Telstra Dome but i Might go in as the boys deserve it.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

.....If robbo is out and Hollands shoulder looked a bit iffy, we need some type of forward target?

Put Green in the goal square, leading out. I don't rate the St's backline; their mid-field and forwards are the risk to us.

Anyway, one off, Green would kick a bag.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

what the hell is wrong wit you mate! u have a cry in the other thread about jones and moloney knocking off buddy now u laugh coz all of a sudden sylvia is back in the mix in some supporters eyes?


We are a chance, but I'm not convinced we can play 2 weeks of good footy in a row yet.

Plus our form in the "Silver top taxi" strips (which I think we'll be wearing this week) have been abysmal so far.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
