Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
