Went to the G yesterday and late in the last quarter was thinking about this game to come. Watched the gws game on tv when I got home. They were competetive for most of he game and appeared to clear the ball very well with good foot and hand skills.They ran out of gas in the last just as we did. I think it may be difficult for us to win. Glad it is down here. Also our previous favourite son play his best game yet Over 100 points i believe. I do not have a good feeling about this game.

    GWS will make sure they lose to us.

    They will make sure they get first pick in the draft.

    We will win because our players are sick of loosing and this may be our first real opertunity to get a win

    we also win because we have a week off before. i am worried about the next two weeks we could get belted......

    if we dont get belted though i reckon we could belt a team at some stage. when we get a run on we may be hard to stop.

    It depends on which Melbourne team shows up. If it's the team that played Sydney, we have no chance. If it's the team that played the first 3 quarters against the Blues, we should win easily.

    Yep, pretty sure Sheedy publicly announced this.

    Us to win by 25, and hopefully Scully will be run face first into the ground at least three times.

    I'm eyeing this match with more trepidation than I have for as long as I can remember, the outcome is uncertain and the consequences of a loss are unpredictable.

    This.

    They won't play the kids they are sure to be stars, I'd imagine it'd be more of a "chuck the rest in and see what they can do" before they have to cull the list.

    I think we will because we believe we can win and belief is almost everything ( note - i said almost)

    "Either side can win it, or it could be a draw"

    I believe it may have been Dermie that once stated this marvelous insight.

    Absolutely no chance. GWS will be gunning to win this game.

    They've got a ton of early picks already and some very promising 17y.o from 2 years ago.

    They will get an early pick regardless. 1-2-3. It doesn't matter. But to stick your boots into another club and embarass them when you are less then 12 months old, they'll want that.

    I'm unconvinced that David Matthews will authorise that - I reckon they'll be playing to win.

    Are you thinking what I'm thinking ?

    It would be nice to win, but as long as someone knocks Scully into next week i'll be reasonably content :)

    If we lose that game I may have a mental breakdown! And if its all hugs and kisses with Scully ill vomit...

    And Clint hits up Clark with a 60 metre pinpoint pass inside 50.

    Spot on, Sheeds would love nothing more than to embarass us on our home ground!

    I don't understand those who seem to think GWS will throw this match. If they want to test their list, why would you pick a winnable game to do it? Surely if you want to rest the stars and try out the fringe players, you'd do it against a Collingwood or a West Coast, where the result is a foregone conclusion.

    Surely, to get supporter interest and to give their youth hope, they'd give it their best shot against us?

    I think we'll win, purely because the game is here.

    I certainly think GWS are a chance. I think Melbourne is better on paper, but I can imagine GWS winning this, and Melbourne going down as one of the worst teams ever. I can really see it.

    The pressue by that point may be too much for Neeld to bare.

  • Quote

    GWS will win, and by some margin. The reason is that they are a better football team than us. We are without question the worst MFC team I have seen since I began supporting them in the early 70's, and simply close to the worst team from any club I have ever seen. Whatever the reasons are for that......confidence, unfamiliarity with game plan, fitness, and as much as I'm sure it will turn around at some stage, it won't this year, and the fact is we are simply not performing any competitive function in the AFL this season. Those on here with the bizarre fantasy that draft pick motivations will cause the Giants to tank need to take a reality pill. For those who think that things can't get worse, just wait for the blowtorch the club gets after this game!!!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
