Friday Night

Featured Replies

22 vs 22.

We can win.

The dawks don't have a match for clarke. So if jamar and moloney can win plenty of centre clearances and allow the dangerous Sylvia and davey to crumb off the long bomb, it gives us a forward potency similar to roughhead, Cyril and Osborne. I believe garland or frawley can stop Franklin and I would play bennell on Cyril.

Mckenzie can stop Mitchell, hodge is out and moloney and sewell can do battle. Trengove should equal Lewis and jones and magner can scrap for the hard pill.

Play Howe at chf, bate and dunne on the flanks for the long goal, and we have plenty of avenues going forward.

We need to play tapscott for raw strength and grimes can carve up the backline.

Most of all, we need to 'click'.

I am trying not to think about it. When was the last time we got near them ?

I recall giving them a hiding in 06 .... It may have been 05 (not 100%)

 

See, we can't even recall when we last beat those buggers. Beyond tragic isn't it!!

We smashed them on a Friday night in 2006 (about round 8). In fact here it is, we won by 75 points with Campbell Brown acting like a tool and costing them about 4 goals.

I have this game on my hard drive, might be better off sitting at home and watching this on Friday as I'm quite certain the scoreline will be reversed on the weekend.

Almost 6 years to the day...of complete and utter thrashings...It makes me ill with anger, as i had to sit through the '88 GF with 4 Hawthorn Supporters who just gave it to me..And they still do....Wake Up you old Demon Bastard...C'mon F$%^k!!!!

Hate to break it to you, but all of this is wild optimism and far too many 'ifs'.

It all sounds nice, but ignores the fact that they have game breakers all over the park and we suck.

In all honesty I don't have that much of a problem with the Hawks. They play a really good style of football and their players work together really well. Obviously it sucks to have them thrash us, but we need to measure ourselves against sides like this to see how far we have yet to go.

They did ruin my perfect tipping round last week though. Going down to the Swans I ask you...

I am trying not to think about it. When was the last time we got near them ?

I am struggling to remember the last time we got near anyone!

 

I think we'll be beaten but probably by about the same margin as by Geelong, I don't think they are better than Geelong and we are playing them at the G not down at Skilled Stadium.

It is their home ground too RobbieF and if we look up the wins over the last ten years I think the Hawks are well ahead including a GF win.

15 goals win to the hawks

If you'd taken them at the line-bet over the last 3 games, all-up, you'd now have 7.08 times your investment.

This week the $1.92 line has them starting 48.5 points ahead of the Hawks.

i think i'd lay out some chash on the line bet so that i have something to cheer about!


Would be nice if both Gibson and Hodge missed, which is a chance. Clarke could bag a few.

Hey Mac7, Clark has no "e".

Spread it around.

maybe we can borrow Dermie's line in the sand

and make it a line in the snow

By the by when scanning the thread titles quickly, a coupe of times i've read Friday night as Fright night. Bloody perceptive sub conscious!

I'd love that to happen OD. Problem is, where are the enforcers?

Maybe we could bring Balls, Yeats, the Febey brothers, Keogh and Jakovich back for this one lol. Even throw Jacko in to line up on buddy lol

If it's under 10 goals I'll be shocked. We are amateur hour compared to the Hawks.

To another weekend of misery. Cheers!

you're a drongo for going with them - here's something you can give them back though: we knocked them out in 1990 which stopped their tilt at the hat trick...cold comfort I know but that's what I'm reduced to.

I had no choice PM...Workmates who locked me in a room...literally..

Before the first bounce of '88 they knew what was going to happen....and it still goes on!!!!

a yellow line?

Colin "the Undertaker" Garland will wear Rioli like a gangly glove.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
