Freo makes run for Scully

Recommended Posts

plan should be lose every game until we play freo beat them round 20. At least then we don't finish the season losing heaps in a row. Tigers should have incentive to beat us, they are only 3 wins and therefore can afford to win another game.

I think we will end up coming second last and have pick 1 & 4 (eagles get the priority as well) I think we are a big chance to get trengove as the WA teams might draft within the state.

Yes we will. I actually thought the coaches had a real crack at losing today but Port are just that ordinary they couldn't get over us. On today's form I thought we were 8 goals better than Port, we won by less than 2. I'm confident Scully's ours. I think our FD knows the importance of this draft.

Choco was tanking, he played man on man, didn't put players ahead of our ball giving us the first open forwardline we've had in ages.

We played bruce lose back on his own & he was allowed to run free by choko.

Imo Chad Cornes gave up deliberate free kicks.

Only Rodan gave his all for them.

Bull crap, deeluded. I'm not saying whether Choco was trying to lose or not, but your analysis is totally wrong.

In the first half both players played men behind the ball. That's why they mucked around with the ball so much in defence. It's also why they couldn't take the ball forward because we had loose players in our defence.

When they went one on one in the last quarter they started running over us.

Carry on.

I'll be pretty [censored] off if Scully isnt running around in Red n Blue next year. We havent had a gun mid as far as I can remember. The closest we've had are Travis and Woe, and they were both flash in the pan. I want Scully!

If we miss the PP, and therefore also have a later pick such as pick 4 or 5, then I'd be taking best available, hopefully a mid. Havent seen much of Trengrove so cant comment on him.

Butcher I've never liked, and said so months ago when he was all the rage.

Moribito I dont like either. He has pace, but his skills are pretty poor IMO. If we're giving up a top 5 pick, I want a skilled player, not Kane Tenace Mach 2.

Kane Lucas was another one touted highly, but he has been fairly average this year, and has struggled when receiving attention whether in midfield or on the HBF.

None of these players are all that much chop, and I'd be disappointed to waste a top pick on them when we could have had Scully (Trengrove excluded as I cant comment on him). We must not make the same mistake we did in 2007. Do we all remember beating Carlton in Rnd 22 as a great win? No. It was a sh*t match, and all we say about it now is how we should have lost and received a PP last year. Same thing will happen this year. We will likely beat Freo, but if we scrape out a win against Richmond or North I'll be very angry at the club for not looking long term. And the "winning culture" argument is a crock. One meaningless game makes no difference. Do what must be done, reap the rewards, and move on. We wont remember it in years when we are celebrating our first flag in decades lead by the young talent we're accumulating.

Exactly, when was the last time we had a real elite marque player, like a Hird Voss Buckley Pavlich richo etc.

I no its a big call but we need one to come from somewhere.

We have not had as much space in our forwardline for ages. Time & time again our forward line was open allowing us space to run into to recieve.

Choco was tanking,

What a ridiculous statement..His players may have been tanking, but choco sure wouldn't have been. He is still to sign a new contract & a Finals Berth is still there to Grab if his pathetic team can be Bothered.

Choco would have been Filthy at Days end. I hate Port. They should never have been granted leave from the SANFL. Shame on you Oakley & Jackson Shame on You.....

Scully's the big one, and we all want him.

Having said that, if we do miss out on him, I like the look of Trengrove and Lucas, I'd be happy with either.

Please please please please please do not take Butcher. Would be a massive waste of a high draft pick IMO.

If he wasn't tanking that was one of the worst coaching performancesI think I've seen this year. They did nothing to stop our forwardline functioning, left paddocks for us.

I'll try to see if it's replayed again this week 'cause my recording failed & I was upset @ the game.

That Port side was pathetic, low intensity, & thouroughly undisciplined. Only a couple played well.

That's what happens when you move the ball quickly, especially by hand and through the middle.

Both teams had multiple players behind the ball.

You certainly are deluded.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
