Richmond are crap- we will not lose to the tigers -your are on acid if you think we cant beat them and their "awesome" midfield .

I did say I agree with all BUT the last para in its entirety. It was the Richmond reference that particularly got my response.

Thanks Biff

 

Does the "P" in P-Man stand for Pessimism? ;-) I think our midfield will do a lot better than we give them credit for.

haha..I'd like to think it stands for "Pragmatic" but Pessimism is probably closer to the mark.

I think all things being equal we are better than them however I think we will struggle against them in Round 3 due to the following factors;

No Sylvia

No Jurrah

Martin, Cotchin & Deledio

I don't think they'll thrash us and if Chip can hold Riewoldt again (which he has a habit of doing) we may win, but my early prediction is they'll do us in this game. The return match is anybody's guess but I think it will be closer than many here think.

 

Cotchin and Deledio are over rated .Martin can play but they are strugglers .We will whip them .

I hope so, guess we'll just have to wait and see. Don't think those two are over-rated though, wish we had scored Cotchin from the 2007 draft instead of Morton. Deledio is hitting his prime and won the Tiges a few games last year. He is quick, has skill and can kick goals from outside 50. Would slot straight into any side in the comp.


I'm slowly coming to terms with the club facing another rebuilding period, as farcical as that may seem. We just don't appear to have the cattle at the moment, particularly in the midfield where games are won and lost.

9-10th is an absolute best case for me, but I'm seeing us finish about 15th by season's end, above GWS and the QLDers. I'll be praying that I'm wrong.

What are you guys on, you & Ron?

We still on the same rebuild we've been on. It doesn't stop after one year and start afresh.

We are still in that rebiuld, the List is largely 'built',, but now must have structure 'Built into it' (taught) the gamestyle, and muscle build, to be able to play the contested ball game.

So to my mind, we haven't deviated from this 'rebuild', that we've been on.

We are just into a different phase of the development.

Have you already forgotten Sunday 21st August 2011!

Guess that makes us look worse than crap

What last year?

They were playing with 23 players,,,& we had 21!!!

Excuses Excuses

We know everyone in the book.

The record shows beaten by the Tigers end of story!

I have us at 12-14 wins after 21 rounds .

I realise this is optomistic but with a greater emphasis on defending our goals ,greater fitness base ,and increased application ,this is not unrealistic .

In my calculations I expect us to beat Richmond ,St Kilda and Bulldogs.

I dont expect us to beat Sydney away or Eagles away .

I expect Essendon to be close to us this year and I hope we can finally pump Norf .

I expect we will lose to Filth ,Dorks ,Blues and Cats but I do not expect any other defeats as a matter of course .


Still a lot of Big Shots haven't put their cahones on the line yet

You know who you are, just do it, if you want any cred when discussing how we went after season's end

And MODS can you please lock thread just before today's kickoff

10th but we will consider the season a success.

It's a tough start to the year and I think we'll be on only 2 or 3 wins but come home with a wet sail leaving our run just a touch too late. However there will be enormous optimism for the next year.

MVP: Brent Moloney

Best Recruit: Mitch Clark

Rising Stars: James Strauss and Luke Tapscott

Biggest surprise: Gysberts delisted at year's end

12th

Think i got a bit carried away. Can i chane to 16 th??

Looks like I got the brown acid Biff. It's a despairing trip but reality is sometimes a downer.

Good diagnosis of my optomism issues there Doc.

Neelds bus is very different to that of Ken Kesey and co .

Maybe you were on acid and it provided you with the predictive insight required to see that the Tigers are on track to finish ninth.

Or maybe I made that comment before everything turned to sh!t as it so often does .

Either way-I promise to drop acid tomorrow if we win.

That was me when i was young-I have a lot more grey hair now and have aged 10 years. The season has been such that when I tell my 3 year old we are going to watch Melbourne play on TV he requests "Don't swear too much Dad OK?"

Cotchin and Deledio are over rated .Martin can play but they are strugglers .We will whip them .

BUMP! I'd take that back if I was you........LOL!

BUMP! I'd take that back if I was you........LOL!

I wish I could take that back-and I now have no hair.

i have us with 3 wins to half way and 6 on the way home - we will be so smashed for confidence and form that we will turn our apparently good run home into a dodgy one.

That is a fairly pessimistic prediction Benno .Rough weekend?

Optimistic as it turns out :(

 

Razor blades, warm bath , pills , Leonard Cohen , Demons........

I just voted 16th and may want to review that down

My God RobbieF you are going to be very close.

I voted 14th and I thought I had you covered.

You are obviously a very wise man.

I will take more notice in the future

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
