Cats havent lost at home since 07.

Am I correct in saying that the DEES beat them by 1 point that year? Or was it the year b4?

We hadn't won their in 13 years or something silly.

Sorry, it was Port R22. Carry on.

Being competitive for the whole match will win us a lot of respect - especially since we are playing at their ground. I haven't seen the odds yet however, I reckon we will be around the $8.00 mark to win.

On Tuesday, Geelong were $1.05, Melbourne $10.00. *TAB Sportsbet.

it was 2005 when we beat them there, that was after we had lost the last seven rounds in a row, we won from 25 points down in the start of the 4th, the next week we did the same v the dogs to win from around 25 points in the 4th, then we beat the dons to make finals, as i remember all the dogs where watching the game hoping that the dons would beat as they all had a cry when we won, that was the most amazing time being a dees supported, in 2005 at one stage we where 9 wins 3 loss and second on ladder, we lost the next seven in a row, then we went to mission impossible in round 20, v the cats and won, we had to win the last three games of that year to make the finals, and we did we should never have won those games v the cats and dogs both games we where dead a buried until the last quarter heroics

I hope we play at our best, no, I hope we play the best we've ever played.

That way we might only lose by 10 goals.

All I'm realistically looking for on Saturday is a good showing from our backline, and for our forwards to convert every opportunity they gets, because I know our midfield is going to get smashed to pieces.

Received any quotes for your tatts, just in case ? ;)

Geelong Advertiser Front PAge.

From another thread but we can only hope that Geelong itself have put the white flag goggles on.

The game down there wont be easy but Sculgove isn't our team anymore.

True they and others have brought a new confidence but last week showed they are part of a much improved unit across the ground.

Hopefully the Cats wander into the white flag trap and turn up for an "easyWin" whilst we bring our A game.

Nothing would please me more than to see another defeated or almost defeated top team saying "we didn't play well today" underestimating what our group can do.

Lets see which flag is flying at the end of the day, I hope its grand.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
