    Bulldogs and Bombers our best chances!

    And to be a chance against them will need a major form improvement.

    Not looking good at all.

    Bulldogs and Bombers? Really? Serious?

    Honestly, at the moment, it looks like a winless year and I include GWS in that as well.

    Who will we beat this year? The ultimate ignominy will be losing to GWS at the G which could very well happen. And who among us could even muster the energy to boo Scully out of the stadium without feeling the ultimate irony of having the team/club validate his decision on a weekly basis.

    Watched a bit of the GWS - West Coast game......dare I say it? You-know-who was outstanding. His running ability and fitness is amazing.

    It's one heck of a draw, isn't it? Yikes. Pretty much all our winnable games are in the second half of the year.

    you hope

    Umm, no, I looked at the draw and saw them all there. I'm not hoping for anything.

    I'm not saying we WILL win them. You understand the difference between "winnable games" and "games we will win", don't you?

    If we spoon it...wow. Just wow.

    That said, I take encouragement from Richmond a couple of years back, when the bookies paid out on them going winless IIRC and then they won six of their last seven.

    What else happened that year? They got a new coach who has since got them playing a respectable brand of football and having a very promising midfield.

    What do we need right now? Exactly the above.

    Wrong. Not possibility. Probability.

    The Chicke Little-ian attitudes that prevail on this site amaze me.

    Yes. Our form is poor. Our third quarter fade-outs appalling. Our confidence shot. Our new game plan an over adjustment. Our adoption of said plan struggling. Our senior players down on form. Our injury list frustrating. But despite all of that, there WILL be weeks where we will play alot better than what we have dished up over the first three games. Sure, we look to be heading for a bottom four finish, but we sure as hell aren't going to go winless all season. When was the last time that happened? Even GC won a few last year, after some predicted they'd go winless.

    Just this weekend -- Geelong went down to the Roos. The Pies had their pants pulled down. GC nearly beat the Bombers.

    Shite happens! And it will happen to us.

    P.S. For what it is worth, a 3 and 1/2 quarter effort next week should win it for us, and we're a chance against the Bombers, and a slim one against the Saints at the G, and by the time we meet the Pies we might just have the game plan to match them :)

    Then don't start a thread on the possibility of being 0-11 by mid-season.

  • Quote

    Predicted 2 wins up to round 11, those wins were supposed to be Brisbane at the G and I can't remember the other one (probably Bulldogs). We won't beat them now, I don't give us a sniff, something is majorly wrong with this team. I have fallen out of love with the playing list in a major way.

    We've got the coach.

    The rest will come.

    At least if we spoon it, we will get the first two draft picks. Or pick 1 and Viney. Maybe we should put off Jack Viney until 2013.

  • Quote

    Yep, it's gonna take more time and we are in for some severe growing pains.

    Next revelation...

    We should see improvement across the board in the second half of the season. :wacko:

    We will beat the Pies and that will be the game that puts them into crisis mode and will be the game that will help us turn the corner.

  • Quote

    I think we will be 2-9 after 11 rounds. Should be able to muster up a win against the Bulldogs, Saints, or Bombers, and I have a good feeling about the Pies. That being said, I'm an optimist. When an optimist picks 2 wins from 9 games you know you're in trouble...

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
