Etihad stadium and why we will win this weekend

Featured Replies

Posted

Our best win of 2012 came against Collingwood in the nab cup.

We put pressure on the ball carrier, pressed well and skill level was ok.

Yes it was the nab cup but there were good signs to take into the season proper.

Maybe our game plan is better suited to the ice rink at docklands?

Could it be that the mcg is a little too big to implement needs game plan?

 

Good point, but same could be said about Ross Lyon's version of Freo. They have grabbed a good upset win at Eithad against teh Saints and at teh 'G against teh Tigers this year already.

You're basing this on a NAB cup win? Have your eyes been closed all season?

We will get pantsed. Again.

Cheers

 

If we can improve our kicking to forwards inside 50 we are a chance this week.

Freo have been pretty average this year


 

We smashed this mob last year.

We can do it again.

All the more reason to bring back Green. Kicked 5 last year.


I'm confident.

Should probably go see a doctor.

Sounds a wise idea jaded.

Result will be between 8 and 10 goals

Will depend on how many kicks Mckenzie, Bail, and Trengove spray into the forward line or out on the full.

Green and Davey seem certain to play so I will revise that 5 goal win to freo.

If we get Green and Davey back we get two guys who can hit targets DemonWA.

That should improve things over the last two weeks, still think we would need a dramatic turn of events to win.

But who knows.

Why is this game at Etihad?

1 game at the MCG all weekend...on Saturday night. A Friday night or Sunday arvo game would have made sense.

We have to play 2 games there every year Cudi, part of the AFL agreement with the stadium.

I believe all clubs have the same commitment


Did anyone see the Freo game last week?? I didn't but was listening to the radio after the match and all the commentators were saying how bad they were and that they would have to give Melbourne a chance. Clutching at straws I know, but you have to at this point in time!!

Every week a "why we'll win this week" pops up

Every week we end up getting smashed

Similair type of thread to the 'How good was Natanui this week' thread i pressume

I watched it, it was the typical Freo win; Most of the players were passengers on the back of Super Pav and a few others

I'd put a defensive forward on Johnson, Play Chip or Tom McDonald on Pavlich, Nicholson on Balentyne, Joel MacDonald or Rivers on Mayne. Job done from a defensive point of view. Problem for us is kicking a winning score, not holding them to a mediocre total IMO.

Spot on DemonWA it is either does not enter forward fifty or no one there to take a grab when it does.

Faint chance if Green and Davey return.

Freo have won 6 legitimate games this year and we have 1 legitimate win. Game is at the Death Dome

That says it all for me.

Problem for us seems to be (among others) is the flat start.....we seem competitive at least after that.

Easy...we can jump them and staart 30 mins earlier !! too easy :) No one will notice... no one will be there.. :unsure:

Very Good BB Suggest you email the MFC

Could be just the tactic that sets up our third win.

Except that our first shot for goal will miss everything and with no-one there to bring the ball back in to play the game would be abandoned. But I'd probably take a nil-all draw at this stage of the season.

 

The MFC to beat a Ross Lyon coached side at Etihad....Is this some kind of joke??

How many time did he win with the Aints there??

WYL the difference in personel between Saints and Freo is vast.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
