if last weeks game is anything to go by 100+. if we come to play, who knows. But to we have the game plan?

Improved performance but still a 7/8 goal loss.

 

Collingwood 189

Melbourne 27

Optimism.

We lose by 38 points. Whatever the actual scores. 38 is the number I see. Feeling we will kick 10 goals and however many points- therefore

Collingwood 98- 103

Melbourne 60-65

If we actually play someone as a permanent forward I think we're a chance to kick at least 3 in the first half.

Doing the math in comparison with last week we will then kick 3 x the amount that we kicked in the 2nd half.

1st Half:

3.18 = 36

2nd Half

21.21 = 147

Full Time:

24.39 = 183

Bit wayward but who knows.

Still comes up short to Collingwoods 189 though.

A better performance or another painful day?

Most likely another day spent in the Frank Grey Smith sinking beers GNF!! Lost you after half time last weekend. ;)

Yep, had to go for a sulk on the top deck by myself for a while. Get my head around it!

Anyway, I agree likely painful day = more beers in Frank Grey Smith. See you there!

The top deck!!! You allowed to fire up up there?


If we don't turn up again, it could be 100+...

If we DO turn up, I expect a 35 point loss.

We won't play 4 quarters... That's a given. Either we'll get close, and fall away disheartened in the last 10 minutes allowing their mature and fit bodies to score freely in that time (the pies love to rub it in)... OR we'll get done soundly all day and kick a few junk time goals.

There WILL be whole slabs of game time where the wheels just fall off. And for us to have ANY chance, Scully and Trengove both have to have second games to remember.

If Sylvia plays - Demons by 21

If Sylvia misses - Pies by 93

will be a better performance this week..all I really want, apart from a WIN :) is to atleast show some passion and effort. Go Dees

We'll have all 18 players doing circle work in our defensive 50 from the 13th minute mark of the first quarter.

Was thinking about whether Bailey will circle the wagons or continue to be attacking? I think the latter.

Should be interesting.


I am Giving Dean Bailey one last chance to show us all he can coach-so whether we win or lose is not so important. (Yes once the Siren goes this theory gets Booted straight out the door i know)

But i want Dean & his coaches to turn out a team who is ready to absolutely tear up the MCG to the best of their ability for 4 quarters, that means Senior players will work harder than our kids, But all 22 will show their Best.

If this happens we may win or we may lose, But we will know if Dean Bailey can coach on Match Day & all of us, Players included can work away Proudly from the MCG knowing we are the Demons.

MFC by 11 points (This is it Bails) Think Nike....Just Do It

In one thread you claim you wanted to give him until Round 12 this year before addressing where he stands. In this one, you claim you're giving him this week as a 'last chance' to show that he can coach. You admit that we're still a work in progress yet seem to refuse to give it time.

I reckon most of the opinions here are a work in progress....or should that be regress.

I will give it time-But he has got to show us something this weekend 45 "CAN HE COACH"?. Here cometh the Moment, and yes after QB i would have his position fully reviewed

i think that's pretty fair, i can handle a loss this saturday-but i want to see some fight from on field & in the box. So yeah this Saturday i ask Bails to give us all a look at what he can really do.

Win or lose, one game of footy wont tell us if Bailey can coach. I wont be walking from the ground a proud demon and magically have the anwser. As Rip Curl Say.... The Search Continues


This is Baileys last chance to show something before I give up on him completely.

MCG game vs the Pies, and we aere coming off a disastrous loiss.

Its his job to fire the players up, and its his job to deliver a game plan that can get us a win which can turn this ship around.

If we get flogged in the same manner as lasr week, I hope he gets sacked.

I'm just looking forward to the game against Richmond when Watts, Blease, Garland, Gysberts and Maric are all playing and we can start to concentrate on our future

Sounds good and not beyond the realms of possibility.

One Game of footy can tell a lot. Are you telling me that he cannot improve that team on last weeks Performance?? That's is all i am asking.

Have you had days in your own job where you just have to perform-I bet you have.

Well in my eyes this is one of them for Dean Bailey-I am glad we are playing the Filth on saturday, as there is no bigger game to play during the season.

Its Totally up to Bails-if he coaches well then WE know. I don't understand why so many around here tip toe around-No wonder the club has been average for 46 years. Not enough is expected of it.

Collingwood 60-99, all I'm hoping for is some aggression. And maybe a bit of passion, but mainly aggression. As Dermie would say, "draw a line in the sand".

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
