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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
