They beat the premiership favourites and a team that will probably finish top 4 or be somewhere in the 8 by 6 goals. I fear in what they will do to us. Can we stop Jolly from smashing us int eh ruck, will we be able to stop there foward line and midfield.

I hope the boys saw this game today to see how a real side plays. I know we are a long way from the pies but god I hope we put up a real fight next week.

Pull down our pants and....well you can fill in the blanks.

We will improve. We have to. generally speaking, we don't play that poorly against Collingwood.

But its going to be the same old story of, where are our goals going to come from?

Play the Kids Man on Man and let them learn as much as they can next week.

I will be there in the stand yelling as usual!

Did you see us last year?

We will struggle against mature bodied sides and there are not many more mature than the Pies. We will get smashed and based on where we are at that is what they should do. We should take from it what we can. Play man on man. No loose behind the ball. Hold our forward structure. Give Grimes time on Swan, Strauss time on Didak, Jordie on Pendlebury. Trengove and Scully high game time through the middle like this week.

I did say 'generally'.

and, yes.

I thought the dees would have pushed a depleted Hawthorn yesterday. I expect the dees to come out and show some fight against the Pies.

A win is unlikely, but keeping the final margin inside 20 points would be a sign of improvement.

I might make the trip, but the filth supporters just plain annoy me and I am not one to shy away from an argument with the toothless faithful.

Collingwood will cream us. I don't miss to many games in Melbourne but I've decided to do something else next week, not sure what but I won't be going. I felt drained when I left yesterday.

you can't ever take that attitude

if even a minor percentage of our 'supporters' share your philosophy we will get even more dismal crowds and they will simply shut us down. Don't give them an excuse.

Its going to get ugly, very ugly. We are incapable of matching them in any part of the game. They are going to physically monster us. Seeing the way the punished the bulldogs turnovers can you imagine what they will do to us. I predict a margin of 80-100

Agree on most things however the margin -- more like 120 points.. :blink:

In order to defy expectations and say, come out of the game with heads high (less than 10 goals), the coach will need to employ something different --- tactics, strategy, match-ups, roles, whatever ...

Not a big believer yet.

I shudder to think what they're gonna do to our boys if they start like they did against the Doggies. Forget 50 points. It'll be a 70-80 point first term!

This is one instance where I agree that a competitive showing will be the aim.

Actually, next week is a Collingwood home game, so the poor crowd goes against them. Sadly, no matter how many of us fail to show to this game, they won't be shut down.

10-15 goal loss.

Our backline is not quick enough for theirs, and their midfield is far too experienced. Also, I think we may be the first team in a while to not score a goal for the entire match.

Given the heat on everyone at the club after Saturday's debacle, I think we'll actually put up a better effort on Saturday. We might even be within 2 or 3 goals of them by half time but class will swallow us up in the second half and we'll go down by between 8 and 12 goals.

I can take the loss, what I can't take is them not showing any spirit or passion while it happens.

I'll probably be there I guess after being a supporter for so long I should be used to the carp the team serves up.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
