Predictions MELB V BRIS


pmg

Recommended Posts

our dees take on the red hot lions this week. imo its going to be very difficult to get up with a win but what i would like to see mostly is a willigness to win the ball and compete as we have all season (minus rd 1). although if we do win, it could be seen as a MASSIVE finals push seeing as though our fixture is alot easier compared to other teams eg. port, eagles, north coming up and an easy run home

I rate BL as the top side in th AFL. If you ask for my honest prediction, i would say we will get smashed by atleast 10 goals. I hope i can i say i was wrong

i also believe they are 1 of the top sides but this is there first time playing in melbourne for 2010 and weve played at the g all season so far. home ground advantage maybe?

Big Test for our Midfield this week, & we now have one- a really good one.

The game will be one from the middle, we must play well out of there to Starve the Bears 50 m arc.

I reckon our Boys can do it, but can they sustain it for 100+ minutes? I hope our Team is really looking forward to this challenge.

i hope the team are Really thinking "BRING THEM ON" Lets Beat a Top Side at our Ground.

Like the Collingwood Game we will know the answer in the first 5 minutes.

If the Team is switched on we can win-but we have to play our game. If the Bears Dictate we shall be Smashed.

Go Demons-Make Jimmy Proud of ya once again, & all of us supporters.

The MCG-Let's make our Home The House of Pain-Starting from this Saturday. B)

Lions are not as great as everyione seems to think.

Demons by 25, to signal our definite arrival.

The Lions will be hard to beat. But it's not impossible. If our team turns up to play and the Lions are a little off, it should be close.

Demons by 7 points.

Leuenberger had a good game against WBD with 21 hitouts (up against Hudson and Minson)supported by Brennan I guess which would have served their mid field well which is a mix of older talent Power and Black, peak of powers players like RISCHITELLI. Their defense in Drummond, McGuire, and Merrett is quality strong bodied and experienced. Their forward line is obviously strong Brennan, Brown Fevola but also emerging talent like Rockliff.

Very tough game for us would love to see us win but our forward line is weak, Jamar has a real test without any credible pinch hitter like Brennan. Our midfield will have to perform very well for us to be credible has has already been suggested.

Absolutely everything will have to go our way if we are to win, and that hardly ever happens.

I'm hoping for a close game with Brisbane getting on top of us in a short 10-15 minute burst, to win by about 24 points.

If we win I'd be shocked, thrilled and a little bit worried that I got a holiday booked in September huh.gifdemon_tongue.gif

Agree. But they're better than us. No question. That doesn't mean we can't win, but it means we're likely to have a portion of the game where their class just gets them 3 or 4 goals, and that might be the difference. Playing in Melbourne will help us.

Wow! I reckon we might just knock off a couple of better teams sometime this year (we came within a whisker against C'wood remember)and there's a very slim hope that it could even be Brisbane on Saturday night. However, I think your travel plans are fairly safe in 2010. You will need to be prudent in making bookings for 2011 onwards though.

Our confidence is up and being at the G, we are a huge chance to win. I will be tipping them.

Whoever thinks the Lion's aren't a top four side is kidding themselves. They are the real deal and with those two up forward we gotta hope the gamblin' fella has a rough night, loses it (again) and big fella is kept relatively quiet, then we might have a chance! Also five games in a row at the G is a positive! Carn Dees!!

We can win if we can eliminate the silly little mistakes we make, usually after a very good passage of play. We need to learn to finish a lot better than we do, the game against Adelaide was a classic example it took us nearly all of the last quarter to put them away.

We move the ball very well at times but all of a sudden we seem to get stage fright and can't find someone to bight the bullet and score. Sometimes we will have 3 or 4 around the ball and they will all sit back and wait for someone to finish. We are good enough to beat them it's just a matter of whether the players believe in themselves enough to do it.

Sylvia looked great against the Tigers, a few close goals but after a broken jaw he looks like a man on a mission. He could be one of the key player to put teams away. I was very impressed with Sylvias game 1 for 2010.

To have any chance the Dee's need to play one-on-one football. We play very well under this structure. If we can have a forward structure at CHF and two deep leading players out of the goal square we will have a chance. I predict a 12 point win.

Petterd and Green to play deep with Bennell to crumb. CHF line will read Sylvia, Bate, Bail.

If we play loose the Lions will cut us to pieces. 10 goal lose if we play like this! Even without Big Browny!

I personally think we will take it right up to them!

I know we have beaten an underdone adelaide and a richmond, but the boys are playing with confidence and I think they are really excited for Saturday night.. They know the MCG like the back of their hand and will be itching to play under lights..

Massive test for a couple players:

Jamar - Can he ruck against 2 quality ruckman? Clark is very good and leuy is alrite too..

Frawley/Warnock - Can either one of these guys shut up a very dangerous Fevola? Fev will be loving the chance to be THE vocal point of the lions attack

Green - Has been playing well against some weaker sides, good to see if he keeps it up...

Jack and Tom - A good test against bigger, experienced bodies..

MacDonald - played really well last week, did some courageous things and should have a point to prove to Voss.

If these guys do as well as they should, we can take it right up to them.. winning is another thing, (Brissy are a top 4 side and there is reason why they are unbeaten) but I think we will come very close... Carn the dees!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
