    Other than the fact I'd cry if we won this week.

    I'd have Robbo in the back pocket instead of Jones and Jones running the messages.

    After Hearing Cameron Schwabb & the great Dean Bailey speak on the radio this morning.

    I doubt we will slip up against the kangaroos, but yes that could be the side that plays the shockers..Business as usual this week.

    There will be more experimentations to come.

    If North plays like they did against Carlton, and we don't do anything stupid, there shouldn't be any problem. Hopefully North plays a lot better than Richmond and lead from start to finish so that there isn't as much of a need to tank.

    I would put dean bailey on the injury list and sub michael Newton in as head coach

    Yes, your opening sentence doesn't make sense. ;)

    Furthermore to your post Titan. There wouldn't be a tag on Brent Harvey this week, would there?

    I thought that last week DB was trying to give the tigers a good head start so as we could then play a game plan without so much blatent experimentation (similar to the Sydney game). Only problem was that the tigers were simply not good enough to kick 3 or 4 quick goals. Hopefully we don't draw North down to the same standard as us like we have against Port, Sydney and Richmond over the last month and they are able to take advantage of the situation.

    Schwab and DB have made it very clear to the entire football world that they are going to continue "list management and experimentation" for the remainder of the season and Demetrou has backed DB to do this. We should be home free.

    If we UNFORTUNATELY win the next two, then we will HAVE to finish last to get that 1st pick. But I hope we don't find ourselves in that position!!!!

    Even if we win this week, Freo can still beat us in rd 20. If Pav and Sandilands dominate, they'll beat us.

    Only if they get selected to play... <_<

    But we won't win if we fly to WA and try to play Freo this weekend, will we? :lol:

    This first sentence is a carry on from the thread title.

    Not rocket science.

    If we ever want to lose, why would we play Newton & Miller anywhere else other than FF & CHF? Anybody else we play there (Warnock, Frawley) could only be an improvement. And why would we play PJ anywhere other than ruck changing in BP?

    If we have miller and juice for the entire match in our forward 50 we won't need to worry about who's in-who's out -where they play, and no one will accuse us for tanking.

    We're crap, but come on BBP...

    Give us a little credit.

    Lose to Freo? At the G?

    Some people...

    We turned up at HT last year 50 points down and still beat them. It was like the Stawell Gift - gave them a head start and they still lost.

    If we win this Sunday it's done...

    Freo have had the wood on us since 1995.

    Freo have won 4 of the last 6 games at the MCG against us.

    Freo beat Carlton away from Subi this year.

    We're both rubbish footy clubs so I can't see how you can say one team will spank the other.

    People seem to not consider the fact that we "were 50 points down at half time". Pretty sure we were trying in teh first half as well.

    And what were they doing in the second half...

    Freo are awful, it is at the G, we will win.

    No, we should win. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I think we will win, but I don't think it's as certain as most would believe.

    Freo had 7 or 8 senior players in that game who have since retired or moved on i.e. Peter Bell, Matthew Carr, Josh Carr, McManus, etc.. They're a much younger outfit now, so I think we'll still be odds on to win unless we lose more players through injury this week...

    Hopefully North put in a more 'honest' performance than the tiges... :unsure:

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
