    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.

    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

    • 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.
