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.

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...

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
