I want to see.....

Featured Replies

Posted

So I was just having a think about the game and I thought, "I really want to see someone make a statement from the opening bounce". Not a king hit or an illegal and dangerous shirtfront. But someone crash through a pack or get a really good hard ball get to set the tone for the year (preferably from a LG player).

(Apart from a win obviously) what doe everyone else want to see?

 

Value for the money I am spending getting down to the game with my son, from Sydney.

I want to see us take the game by the scruff of the neck in the first 10-15 mins and get a few goals on the board. Like the Saints pre-season game but this time it'll be different because it will get the G going off.Get everyone on the edge of their seats. Get 25,000 people making the noise of 60,000 as Mitch Clark drags down a pack mark and converts to put us further in front.

That will breed confidence. And I honestly believe once this teams gets confidence, we are going to start being very competitive again very quickly.

C'mon boys, let's dominate early.

 

I'd consider the Geelong tactic and start blease, Sylvia or Rodan loose at chb for the first bounce with the instruction of running straight through the guts and hopefully getting on to the ball.

The first play doesn't decide the match but I certainly agree that a spark helps set the tone.

I want to see a win, and a player like Byrnes or Rodan have a really good game to shove it up kn0bs like Damien Barrett who slagged off the recruiting last year and saying these boys have no football left.

I would also love to see Viney and Wines go at it from a football spectacle point of view! :)


Four quarters of consistent effort

Neeldy?? Is that really you?

I have very little doubt we will explode out of the blocks. It is the inevitable second and/or third quarter disappearance act that has me concerned. I want to see a consistent four quarter performance. I'll take the loss if I can just see that.

 

Melbourne on the top half of the ladder after round 1. Been a while

No lines at the bar...


Sung to the tune of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's "I Want the World"

I want a win,
I want a damn win.

I want them to lock the ball up in the pocket,
Just give them a rocket
Give it to them
Now!


I want a side filled with brilliant midfielders.
Ten thousand tons of hard ball.
And if they don't play like Rambo on steroids
I'm going to scream!

I have very little doubt we will explode out of the blocks.

Yeah coz we exploded out of the blocks so often last year!

I want to see Viney take the ball out of the first centre bounce, run and and spread the ball to a running Toumpas who will hand-pass over the top to Clark in the goal square. Goal - 23 seconds.

I want to see Watts kick in from a rushed behind and find a running Matt Jones who takes on his opposition player and turns him inside out whilst giving off a hand-pass to Sam Blease who is shepherded beautifully by David Rodan allowing him to run down the members wing to deliver to Sellar on 50. Sellar puts a high ball to the goal square where Howe soars to drag down a contender for GOTY. Goal - 2 mins 30.

Go Dees!

These all sound a bit like that say against Sydney at the G all those years ago!!

Just quietly, I want to see tough footy - not Yates/Brereton, but Chapman/Scarlett/Mooney hard.

It's a long time since anyone looked twice when we were coming

Gee Harold you certainly have your priorities in the correct order

Depends which way you look at it.

No lines mean everyone is glued to the action on the field.

We are playing well and winning!

A 187 point win will do me just fine. Throw in pia miller sitting next to me and it's perfect.

And then you fell out of bed........

Our friend Colin Sylvia playing in the midfield all game, 30+ touches and 2 goals at the final siren (helping out Jonesy). Watts to have a cracking game and being the architect off the back line. The new draftees to get involved but the rest of the team to carry us!. For my old man and I to sing "it's a grand old flag" and we agree that finally we are improving!

i just don't want to feel like kicking the dog when i get home

I liked this for your dog's sake!!!

 

And then you fell out of bed........

Yes I did. Oh well there is always tommorow.

I want get home after a win thinking that we have recruited a star/cult figure with Jimmy Toumpas.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
