Mission Impossible?

Featured Replies

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.

 

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.

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

It is a "Super Challenge"

yes and we'll have to be "super competetive"

But mainly "just fuggin get it inside forward 50"


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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
