Someone didn't read the thread title.

Sadly - quite common around here.

We know we could beat the Tigers last year.

We know we are fitter than last year.

We know we have a game plan, unlike last year.

And we know that soon the boys will be able to deliver said game plan for 4 quarters.

So it's just a matter of when.

Please make it this weekend of all weekends.

Never felt good about the brisbane game !

West Coast sa no more,

This week early was sure Tiges were winners,

now looking forward think it will be very very even, goal either way,

I just hope we show some endeavour and heart,

Go DEES give 'em HELL !!!

I think this is a realistic chance this game.

lets me honest, we have a better defense than Richmond - Frawley usually keeps Riewoldt pretty quiet and Vickory and Miller will probably miss nearly as many as they'll kick - particularly with set shots.

Our forward line is pretty one dimensional at the moment - or more just single maned with Clark - but who will they put on him? I assume they will double up on him but this might give Howe the odd opportunity.

But the game will be won in the midfield and lets be fair - there's is at its best for as long as I can remember, whereas ours has been probably the worst ive seen it. Bigger bodies will make the difference here hopefully. I think it will be won here.

I think the Dees will click - the game plan or the structures will suddenly fit and make sense and we will improve very quickly, perhaps in one game.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Aaron really use his experience to lead, crumb and provide a genuine small option in the forward line tomorrow. It would add such a different perspective to our fwd 50 if he became really dangerous.

What am I looking forward to?

Spirit

Heart

Gritted teeth

Gut busting efforts

No side stepping

No basket ball tap-ons

Just a decent old muscle clenching deep digging never give in chasing down presure cooking turnover generating torso twisting heart pounding gut exploding chest engorging never stop till the whistleblows honest 120 minute

effort

by 22 proud and passionate players.

Not much. Just that. That's all.

And back it up again next week. And so (it should go) on....

Us winning by 41

Jordie blanketing Cotchin... again.

Mitch taking the lead in the Coleman.

Tapscott does a Neitz and Luke McCabe's Brett Deledio

Would be happy with that.

Posted (edited)

I'm hoping to see none of the following:

Token chasing

Misskicks

High tackles

Out on the fulls

Losing 1-on-1 marking contests

Long, blind bombs to the forward 50

Casually taking kick-ins

Attempted speccies with no-one to crumb the ball at ground level

Being drawn to the ball like little-leaguers

Ruck taps to disadvantage

More behinds than goals

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
