NOTHING TO LOSE - THE PEOPLE SPEAK

Featured Replies

Without Bartram and Garland, we look a tad slow up back especially with both Rivers and Warnock. Especially if the Blues have Garlett and Betts up forward.

True, but also a bit untrue aswell, i think we look slower, but surely Bennell, Nichloson, Evans, have some serious jets, i just dont like their ability to be a hard defender like Garland and Bartram.

 

This doesnt bode well :mellow:

Just have a red hot go guys...thats all we ask.

I reiterate another's plea to Bailey... be brave...be bold...and be quick to react.

We're fielding a weaker team than in the NAB cup against essendon. Expect a similar result. no fairytales tomorrow night I wouldn't think.


Melbourne vs Carlton Round 10, 2011 - Experience Stats

Thanks for that - they're top heavy in experience and we're bottom heavy. Couple that with who we've got out and the 'correct' result to this match is a flogging. If we pull off a win it will be close to the upset of the year for mine.

Like most have said here, I'll be happy if we just have a crack.

I agree with all of that.

Am I the only one here that has a strangely good feeling about tomorrow night?

Maybe it's just cos I'm going with all my Carlton-supporting friends and am going to shout them all down...

 

Apparently Heath Scotland might be a late withdrawal. Hasn't trained much this week, due to sore hammies, from what I heard.

Honestly I'm giving us more of a chance than most, let's not forget how we responded after our WC loss. The blues have had the wood on us in recent years, but let's not forget this game is at the G. Injuries have really hurt our chances though. But as the saying goes, beware the sleeping Dragon!

I get those feelings before most games, and then the ball is bounced.....

I like your optimism but....

The way i see it, we would need at least 5 of our 12 rookies putting in a blinder and beating their opponents hands down to offset the extra experience of the Blues at their top end, plus the rest of our boys having a 50/50 result (at least) with their opponents for us to pull this one out....

Nothing's impossible. Hec we won a night flag against the Bombers in 87 with half regulars and half 2nd stringers. But this aint for a flag and i don't think any of the current players were playing back then. Oh, and Swooper was the coach and well, anything was possible! :wub:

Not wishing to dampen your enthusiasm but I had one of those 'good feelings' against the Roos a few weeks back..... :mellow:

Maybe Juice will pull one out of the fire and bag 8 (was gonna say 10 but lets be conservative eh) with Nicholson kicking a goal after the siren for the win!!

In the case of the MFC, more of a sleeping donkey.. ;)

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
