Finally the footys back and the main things im looking for tonight is:

1) A decent looking game plan and what see what Neeld has come up with

2) To win both games

3) Grimes to get through and no major injuries to anyone else

4) Clark to do well up foward

5) For us to man up our opposition. It frustrated the hell out of me last year when I looked down the field and see the opposition players loose downfield and they got easy goals.

    The fact that it is probably going to be played in very wet conditions means that no injuries and an extra fitness boost are probably the other things that can be taken out of the game.

    Considering how wet it is i just want to see commitment at the ball. Team mates creating for each other so options are there.

    No injuries.

    The heavy ground gives us a chance to win both games.

    Wet weather changes things a bit.

    1 - Our tall forwards to play crash'n'bash to get the ball on the ground and into the hands of crumbers.

    2 - Someone to stand up and play as a crumbing forward.

    3 - Serious contested ball.

    4 - No injuries.

    5 - One win.

    Given the conditions and back to back games, I don't think two wins is realistic. Game one will really take it out of us. Nicely set up by the scheduling guys to make sure Brisbane gets the points I guess. We'll see how they really stack up in round 1.

    Edit: typos.

    After that, echo those that want no injuries.

    The conditions have dulled my expectations. Doubt the forward line will be able to set up & function the way Neeld is planning. And if predictions are correct about our new boundary hugging gamestyle are correct, we might get bitten on the bum by the NAB Cup OOB rules

    So yeah, no injuries

    Looking forward to seeing guys like Magner and Couch. In particular what kind of presence they have around the stoppages.

    Could not have summed it up better.

    Football can also be played in wet conditions during the year so this will be a chance to see a Neeld wet game plan. Could be a very interesting night as they would have known of the weather patterns for a while.

    Small men crumb the packs. Kicks off the ground.

    Hit targets

    No injuries

    Repeat 10 timesxxxx

    1. A forward line

    2. Long kicking especially from defense

    3. Numbers at the contest

    4. 2 wins!

    5. Hard bruising football

  • Quote

    1. No injuries

    2. Bringing the ball back into play after an opposition behind.

    3. Who excels in our midfield (Couch, Magner, Gysberts, Moloney, Grimes, Sylvia, Bail, Petterd, Green, Grimes...)

    4. Grimes leadership

    5. Our forward line set up.

    If anyone complains about our skills tonight i will cry, possibly the worst possible condition to play football in. Incredibly wet and humid.

  • Quote

    lots of skills on show. pinpoint passing, towering marks, lots of 9-point goals

    oh and lots of aggression

    that'll do for starters

    • 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.
