That was Lee van Cleef.

Clint replied: "If you shoot me you won't see a cent of that money."

Either way, we're shot!

 

I will attend this game just like in April last year.

One change I expect to see is Moloney and Sylvia not kicking it out on the full countless times.

We win a few more clearances this week and spot up some good options going forward rather than ramming it long to the fowward line, we will go a lot closer that many predictions here.

Frawley will dominate Kennedy this weekend.

Eagles by 5 goals in a brutal game.

we are 5 years into a rebuild that has featured a huge amount of high draft picks.

yet all of us know for certain what is going to happen this week and we are paying 9.00 in a 2-horse race

i look forward to demonland's trademark 'blame the senior players' discussion that has been going on since 2006, with an entirely different group of senior players


love the enthusiasm but we'll get pumped

Having read a few articles from the players like Grimes talking about the game-plan and Bartram itching to go it has given me some confidence in the guys this weekend.

Ha! All they do is talk, probably the main part of an MFC player contract these days.

They need to shut up and play footy, we've already seen how meaningless their words are.

 

Optimistic view: we'll lose by 10 goals

Pessimistic view: I'll turn it off at quarter time when we're down by 10 goals

So you are suggesting???

No it wasn't Lee, it was his other adversory "hey Blondie" clint had the gun.

Realistically, to get within 2 goals a quarter, ie 8 goals overall would be a surprising result. Sad to have to say it, but there we are.

90+ Anything under 10 goals will be a victory

Backs to the Wall !!! Play it wide & play it cautiously, let them come at us, to try to take it off us, then we need the player just off the ball to receive & attack.

It'll be tough over there, but I think we'll be switched early. But can we last the game out.

100+ unfortunately.

I'm looking forward to seeing our forward line in the vast spaces of Subi,which would really benefit Petterd and Howe if they play.

I wouldn't mind us getting hammered so much if we crawl off the ground absolutely exhausted,instead of rolling over when it all gets too hard.

I'm not looking at the scoreboard this week,it's all about desperation and attitude for me.

I'm hoping for a solid performance which to take into the Richmond game, & build on.

I am praying!

I am completely dillusional - I always believe we can win. I never imagine 10 goal losses. The worst my mind can conjure up is a spirited small loss and that my friends is why I look 102 - years of expectations shattered.

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.

I think you are wrong Nasher it will only be 9 goals at quarter time.

Otherwise yes this has been the worst 3 weeks I can remember


100+ loss we are a very ordinary football team.

The following week against the Tigers will also be a pasting, they play with heart and we don't appear to have one of those.

I agree. Its not just the playing group that is unsettled, the coach has not been focussed either. Theres no logical argument to justify a competitive performance. The players have a huge opportunity stand for something here, lets hope they act upon it for once.

WC by 120

Edited by stranga

Well, I'm tipping against us in the Tipping Comp... so on that basis, I might go out and have a few dollars on us to win - and that means we should end up with a draw.

 

I'd just like us to be in the hunt by 3 quarter time. A big ask over there, but it'd be a great place to start.

We will be lucky to score a goal in the first half of the game and will lose by 100+ points and have no answers to West coasts run and carry. Josh Kennedy may just seal the Coleman medal in the second week of the season

  • 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.
