GAMEDAY - ROUND 2


What

Recommended Posts

As disgusting and horrible as last week was, if we can somehow win tonight then i will forget round 1 completely and i bet the MFC does too and marches forward.

Lets face it, last week was only one match. Yes we have been crap for a long time Yes it was atrocious, degrading, embarassing. Almost soul destroying.

But the bottom line is that we can beat the Bomnbers and if we do it will be happy days again.

GO DEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you name the Street so we can have a media contingent there? (just in case)

If we win tonight I'll be happy but pi55ed at the same time. I'm sick of us having our backs against the wall and the media on us all week to stand up. Can't we just put in week in week out?

The first 5 minutes will tell us a story, 'cfh'. As it often does. If we come out of the blocks, we've got a chance of making a game of it. Even if all that happened, the last quarter could also tell a tale. Fresh legs could win out if the extra weeks rest is a factor.

We've got an obligation to start well with a fierce attack on the ball. After last Sunday, anything less than that will be unacceptable. I'm reasonably confident we'll have a go early. We can't not turn up again.

I'm going to be at a 50th, taping it to watch it at home. If we win I'll be stoked, but I just want desperate desire to chase and tackle and get the bloody ball.

But I want it every week, and I'll be happy once we achieve that, everything else is covering the cracks.

Time to shut up and act.

I'm sure the boys will have a crack but it seems to take a smashing and then a week of criticism for them to show a heartbeat. I just wish they could rock up to the ground, clock on and mean business every week. I think we will start strong and break even in the first quarter with a more skilled team and then fade away to lose by 5 goals.

If they win, I'll take heart from it. While it would be disappointing to know that the effort comes and goes, I'd take that over the idea that they're hopeless beyond redemption, which is how it seemed last week.

7-1 at the line.

Worth a fifty.

See you at the Flower Drum for Supper.

This one's safe.

If you have fifty on the Dees you will be washing the dishes at the Flower Drum.

On the train heading to the G to sit with Bomber mate of 40 years .

We go every year (since 1975). There have been a few occasions of joy not many .

Darren Bennett made my afternoon once, so did G Lyon, in 1991 i remember a young Ox shooting for a late goal at Windy Hill that would have pinched it for us and I have enjoyed the last 3 times!

But I had butterflies last Saturday and tonight I feel nothing. Just looking fwd to seeing my mate.

Dees just go out there and have a red hot go but do it for 4 qtrs!!!

Clearly a sucker for punishment I am. So many better things to do tonight, yet here we are, heading to the footy.

This better be a vast improvement. I don't expect a win but FFS, some competitive spirit would be lovely.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
