I cannot beleive that you have posted such a negative post at the onset of the season, especially one giving your opinion that it will be the end of Mark Neeld. Obviously you have not bothered to read any of the training reports or given any thought to the fact that there is a completley new team running out onto the "G"

I've read al the training reports but its the same every year, all's l'm saying its a must win

 

If we want to take the sort of strides we are aiming for in 2013 we simply can't drop these sorts of games, and i don't think we will Dees by 60+

I can't wait for round one. A few months back I ordered tickets for Bruce Springstein(playing at Hanging Rock Winery) and got great seats near the front of the stage. To my dismay, I realised the concert clashed with round one. Without any hesitation, I have given the tickets away and will be there on Easter Sunday cheering the Dees on. I think we will win easily.

How come you did not send them to me?

If things go our way a 5 point victory if not 1 point win

I've actually given them to a fellow Demon supporter!!

Excellent.

I am surprised you would drop them in favour of the Dees.

1 game out of 22 to see The Boss.

I would have gone the other way.

One of my sisters lives next door I might go up and listen in.

I will be looking very keenly to the NAB Cup (and the first couple of rounds this season) for an indication of how far we've come since last year.

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're going to say about the NAB Cup; rested stars, exposing youth, not peaking too early etc etc. And, generally, I agree in principle. BUT .. throughout our recent down years, I've seen the same old pattern; we get embarrassed in the NAB*, we get embarrassed in the first few rounds, then we turn up the embarrassment levels for the season proper.

We need to show something during the NAB, and we need to convincingly beat Port. We don't, and put your money on another bottom four finish.

* excluding the odd exception, like beating the Pies at Etihad last year

Let's just not be insipid.

I would take not being insipid.

Change is as good as a holiday and all that...

 

Don't underestimate port.. there midfield is actually pretty impressive on paper but our forward line and backling you would think have them coverd.

Must win game

We mastered that last year rpfc

We are moving on in 2013 I think we have half decent in mind

If we just scrape in OD we are still ASWAP. We need to win comfortably to start regaining credibility in the comp.

I'd take a scrappy win to be honest.

Obviously keen on regaining credibility but I don't want us getting ahead of ourselves.

If big Mitch was playing I can see a decent score being kicked especially without Chaplin there anymore. Dawes will now receive the best defender and rarely dominates games (still love him as a recruit) and Pederson is a bit of an unknown.

Also an unknown will be about 95% of our team. I had to look at the MFC website matching player numbers with six6six's photos - which are amazing by the way and thank you so much. The team is really just getting to know each other. Who knows how they will go? We can only hope they click straight away.

I agree its a must win however, Ill be devastated if we lose as I was Rd 1 this year.

As Bruce himself said...

You can't start a fire without a spark

If we just scrape in OD we are still ASWAP. We need to win comfortably to start regaining credibility in the comp.

A win in the first round Bbo will be about 8 weeks better that 2012.

I will take any size win against Port in round 1 as a good sign

Remember we could not beat them anywhere last year


As Bruce himself said...

You can with friction. Bruce was wrong.

Rub two sticks together.

You can also start a fire with a magnifying glass.


Gross.

No, frotastic!

 

If i am not mistaken, the last time we won our first round game was all the way back in 2005! So odds are we won't win, but then again, we are long-overdue. I have NFI!

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
