And they have done it with a lot less disposals and no one really staring. Still i believe we will stand up next week.

    cant see us winning a game now til we play GWS

    We're no certs to beat them either.

    There is no way possible that we could win a game of footy with yesterday's 22.

    The last time we had to respond to a crisis was after 186 and we lost to Carlton by 70 pts after an even 1st qtr. I expect a similar outcome Saturday.

    I was at the game against the Eagles last year and I shudder to think about next week. The Eagles are very professional they'll take advantage of the percentage boost on offer and I think there's b#gger all we'll be able to do about it.

    Round 3 will be a beauty with both Richmond and Melbourne looking for their first win.

    Ashton Hams could give Davey and Blease a few tips on the role of the small forward - hunting the footy, sticking your head over the pill and tackling with purpose.

    Blease shirked the hard ball twice yesterday......a quote from his school footy coach - 'he's quick but gives us nothing'

    We'll give 186 a shake next week :wacko:

    Sellar will definitely play next week. Their fwd line is very tall and Lynch is a monster. Exactly the type of player Sellar was recruited for. We still have to handle Kennedy, Darling, NikNat and Gaff up fwd. We are in trouble by some way.

    i can foresee a 100 point drubbing easily. Last year's game, which I attended was downright depressing, I can remember us turning the ball over constantly due to the relentless Eagles pressure, and the run and spread by the eagles was phenomenal with players finding acres of space on the wide expanses of Subiaco. We looked really unfit then now that I think about it, there were times when the Eagles switched to the fat side after a Dees turnover in attacking 50 and they went end to end with 50+ m passes to players with daylight to their melbourne opponents. I was embarrassed to be a dees supporter that day.

    Eagles have ramped it up a notch since then so I expect a real belting.

    I'm looking forward to next week's game to see how we respond. I don't think we're going to win, but I have a feeling we will be much more competitive.

    To be fair though, it would be hard to be less competitive than we were on the weekend.

    There is nothing to look forward to about the west coast game. We are going to be opened up and gutted like a fish. My prediction is It will be the biggest thumping of the year for any team

    It'll be a very telling game for our team, that's for sure. Will we be able to respond from a very poor performance and a week of criticism? Who's going to step up, if anyone? As I said: I'm not expecting a win, but I think we will be much more competitive than we were against Brisbane. I think (maybe I'm just being overly optimistic) that many on here will be surprised.

    Noticed that bum Darling kicked 1 goal 2 yesterday.

    Gee I am glad we picked cook in preference

    What a dud he is. Must be his attitude problem.

    Yes he probably had a orange juice on the plane home last night.

    Disgusting behaviour

    Behaviour like that fits in perfectly with the West Coast culture. What an impressionable young player.

    • 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.
