to beat geelong we must apply pressure and stop the likes of ling, selwood, ablett, and corey put pettard on selwood, moloney the endurance on ling, bartram can take ablett and bruce on corey keeping them to under 12 possesions until half time we can have a chance or flood the backline which seemed to work when collingwood played them in the prelim and worked and has never seen the strategy since then.

I volunteer to stop Ling. At halftime I will buy a pie and push it into his face.

Cameron Ling: achilles tendonitis: Hurt Round 4: Back Round 9
 
Swine Flu is the only answer....!

Maybe all Demon Supporters could just cough a lot towards Geelong players on sunday, starting with the warn ups, which may render them seriously ill for the 2nd Half...We then may have a slight chance to over power their score.

Dont kid yourself mate

We don't beat Geelong. So therefore, any strategies to neat Geelong, won't actually be strategies because we wouldn't have won.

i'm thinking the answer isn't how to beat geelong but rather how to extract 2 points....

1. issue an act of terrorism warning on al jezzera. Get MCG evacuated and announce it a draw... (might end up in prison but atleast we don't lose too badly) or 2. create an act of god... earthquake, tornado, cyclone or other to hit on sunday and hence abandon game and we get 2 points. Or...... Bugger it thats all i've got can someone else come up with a sensible plan to get the game postponed until 2012

No, there is another oh jedi master..

Block the Geelong Freeway for 4 hours. Deny access to Avalon in case they think of flying once stuck in traffic. <_< :D

It's not about winning this week, It's all about keeping the damage to a minimum. It'll be good to see our guys go against the best in the land. Look forward to Robbo's return. RUUUSSSSSSSELLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!


Should be a relatively close contest until the umpire bonces the ball to start the game.

hmmm, strategy....

It's a shame Wheatley isn't playing, everytime we get the ball we could have given it to him and he could have booted it out of the stadium - they would have run out of footballs eventually.

On a serious note I think we have to keep it simple and just be competitive as possible. Give our forwards the best chance possible by getting the ball down there quickly.

All we need to do is attempt to stick to our proccesses, becasue this is the best test we will get as to where our wekaness/Strengths are.

Forget the fancy stuff and just play our game. :o:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That didn't look good in the first 9 seconds did it!. The wonders of hindsight...

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
