Mistake by the TAB.

How you could have Melbourne favourites after last week debacle is amazing.

I know WC have more injuries than us, but you can't possibly think we're a chance of winning - based on form.

    I thought we had more injuries at Melbourne. Unusual, they have more premiership players taking the field... :lol:

    I would have thought under normal circumstances, West Coast would be starting slight favourites. We were pathetic and got beaten by a very good side last week, but our form in the preceding weeks was good enough surely to be competitive against the 2nd worst side in the comp who are playing interstate

    But surely West Coast are well aware, its not in their best interests to win this one.

    Easy money to be made in my opinion

    For the first time this year I am 100% confident of a victory. Strange feeling.

    Why 100% :unsure:

    The best thing that could happen for football would be an Eagles win.

    It wouldn't hurt us as well.

    It's a sad that even if we win on our merits there will be a perception around that WC have tanked and not put in their best side.

    Since it makes no difference to us at this stage I hope we thrash them and put the heat right on them, probably very, very wishful thinking <_<

    I think the best we can do is go out there and play a decent brand of football that hopefully gives the players some confidence. The worst thing would be if we didn't really show anything against a tanking opponent.

    Fine, 99% sure.

    West Coast are tanking harder than us, simple as that.

    Right Bub!

    I've been saying elswhere on this forum that this is the game we should lose!

    Then, we can become a football club again an drive all our efforts to win.

    Have we ever had a season without beating a Victorian side? We MUST beat Richmond, especially if it costs them finals

    Only if you include 1919, where we registered 0 wins for the year.

    Why on earth would we be trying to lose this week?

    Let's say West coast lose both their last two games by 100 points - 150 to 50. That would be enough to bring their percentage down to 65.0%.

    If our two remaining games averaged at 75-all draws, our percentage would climb to 65.4%

    That is roughly what it would take.

    If West Coast is even remotely competitive (by which I still mean 10 goal losses!) in either remaining game, we won't pass them on percentage.

    Meanwhile, we would need to win today, win another game, and take it to the wire in a third in order to hold up our part of the bargain.

    Fear not. We have the electric spoon (Watts) within our grasp. (Unless we win all three, that would really root us.)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
