Dees v Eagles prediction


olisik

Recommended Posts

Wow......where to start! Beginning with the mandatory 4 goal umpiring/crowd advantage when playing in Perth/Adelaide, then add the fact that WCE are 3 times better than the Lions, add another 21 goals, then a lazy 6 goals because of all the extraneous [censored] that has gone on around the club this week, makes the grand total 31 goal victory to the Eagles.........oh dear.

My prediction:

"He should have been playing for us, we didn't even interview him (or insert guess he was better than x).

He was a Melbourne supporter growing up.

X player is having a sook.

We need to change the culture in the club.

The blazers have sapped the players bodily fluids.

Neeld (updated from Bailey) has no game plan.

Senior players were put on notice X, Y and Z should go now.

We should trade Morton, Green, Davey, Moloney, Jamar,Dunn, Bate, watts, Jones (etc etc)

Playing the long bomb (or insert centre corridor/ switch/ hug the corridor) doesn't work.

Our midfield is crap (or insert lazy).

Our forward line is crap (or insert lazy)

Our backline is crap (or insert lazy)

Watts 30 possession game was useless because he is a twig and got it all as easy ball as an outside mid and the recruiters shouldn't have picked him.

We cant hit a target.

We are predictable.

We need more mongrel.

I just want to see results not excuses.

Neeld has done a lot of tough talking, but easiest thing to do is talk tough. I am not convinced.

Cam schwab is to blame for picking the wrong sponsor.

The recruiting over the last five years has left us without all the lower picks who were better.

We have an out of date Collingwood gameplan.

And Nutbean will say he thinks Scully will stay."

Down by 10 goals at quarter time, then losing by "only" about 100. With all the crap that has gone on this week, the club will barely have even remembered that there's a game on this weekend and we'll start the match completely asleep.

Absolutely no excuse for this. With what has happened this week, it should not effect the players one bit. Jim Stynes was different that ripped hearts out and I allowed for that last week.

This is their job, to ignore what goes on in the media and come the weekend do what they get paid to do. I certainly hope Neeld hasn't changed his training this week because of it and I am 99% sure the players wouldn't have trained differently. If we get beaten by a better team well fantastic but no more [censored] excuses because of a tough week. Just get it done Melbourne and cut the crap.

I'm starting to think that all the senior players earmarked for the chop might play this week including Davey. These senior players have reached the point of no return and no rock is big enough for them to hide under anymore. Some sort of arrangement has happened with the Davey issue and now Neeld is not interested or cares who made the allegations as he was on Monday. One last chance to see if the penny has dropped at what is arguably the house of pain for us. If there still is resistance to Neeld's ways this game will show once and for all who will sink or swim. If they rise to the challenge we might be a slim chance.

I agree, It looks to me like the coach dealt with Aaron weeks ago, & they've reached an understanding. So now its time for Aaron to continue to find his feet after a hard week, & a 5 tackle game last week.

Deeluded- you really have sense of optimism or stupidity in your believe we could only go down by 6 goals.I genuinely hope your right but very very doubtful.I will be very happy if this eventuates.Good on ya for your positive slant on things.

I have faith in our players ability, but understand the difficulty in getting things to Mesh together like a well engineered gear box, smooth & strong. This is the tough part. The individual parts are quality, & some are tough hardened but not as polished, but they can form a Complete package if they stay focused to the task & play for one another in a disciplined way.

I think they have sufficient pain to galvanize them into a machine.

I think they have the desire to want to achieve, & should be less emotionally spent this week.

I hope we come back with some legs after though.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
