I'll be in a state of shock if we can manage to kick more than 2 goals in the 2nd half.

I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

I'm sure that a team total of 110 tackles would set some kind of record. No team had more than 75 last weekend.

If we got to 55 we would be making a massive improvement.

Dead set certs now that we've made changes at the top.

Not just for the win this week but the flag.

Will firm if more off field heads roll.

If Neeld and co pick a 'play-on-at-all-costs-run-and-carry-team', this will be a good game.

The pressure cooker is off.

Schwab is gone - play with flair, boys!!!!!!

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

So glad they sacked Schwab.

Worst player in the team.

Swans had 110

110, in one of the most incredible tackling displays you are ever likely to see. I'm not sure that Melbourne could match that number this weekend if it was the only thing they tried to do for the entire game.

Tackling IS a football skill. It's one of the hardest and most important skills. I'm sure that Sydney spend a lot of time working on this skill. Union and League teams put a great emphasis on it as well.

I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

That's a fair ask for a team going well let alone us.

I'll be pumped if we win a quarter and if Sylvia gets a kick in the middle.

Bring in Kent and Gawn, if deemed fit enough.

Here's a suggestion. Play man on man and their performance will be rated on how their direct opponent performs.

I would love this club to come out all guns blazing and win a game

But Sylvia's 9 Possesion 0 contested possessions tells me not to get my hopes up

think I would [censored] a solid gold egg!

Where will you be sitting?

I am expecting an absolute Shallacking by the Weagles. In excess of 100 points.

I would dearly love to be proved wrong.

If the shallacking occurs and then we get thrashed by GWS the following week, Neeld just has to go.

If they lose the whole bench to injury in the first quarter, the sub hurts himself in the second, the umpiring is outrageously tilted in our favour and we play out of our skins we're a chance.

Where will you be sitting?

at my house with Jack Watts, watching the game on fox

Typical- Kerr and Le Cras come back this week.

I'm tipping something worse than the port game but not as bad as the Essendon game - 113 point margin.

Neeld will have one last chance to get the boys up v's GWS.

Wonder if they would have played if West Coast were playing Colingwood or Geelong?

We will lose and hopefully by less than 6 goals but I'm not holding my breath, that's only 9 points a quarter difference and it's asking a fair bit.

Right you are - sounds stupid.

Kerr and Le Cras as ins this week obviously ain't great ...

If they lose the whole bench to injury in the first quarter, the sub hurts himself in the second, the umpiring is outrageously tilted in our favour and we play out of our skins we're a chance.

They're already missing 7 or so Best 22, the midfield is mostly very young, Priddis is slow, Kerr (if he plays) is slow and old.

Cox isn't in great form, Le Cras (if he plays) would still have an ulna or radius which has not properly-knitted.

The Essendon Injury List was practically nil. This is a different ball-game. If the boys can summon a level of gumption from somewhere,

get a start for a change and keep things going they could be a rude and unusual chance.

despite our absolutely loathesome, pathetic performances thus far in season 2013, we're not actually quite as bad as people think.

It was our worst EVER loss at the MCG. We were that bad.

Neeld will not survive a 150 point loss.

Kerr and Le Cras as ins this week obviously ain't great ...

I'd prefer those ins to natanui and wellingham!

Kerr is a champion and a warrior but is getting on. Lecras will probably do a hammy in the first 10 mins, he's so injury prone

Question, what is the largest loss a coach has ever had then gone and won a flag in future years? Clarko got flogged a few times from memory, but 148????

It was our worst EVER loss at the MCG. We were that bad.

No one's disputing we were that bad in THAT game.

That said, I don't think this is the worst Demons side I've ever seen. Could be wrong though - it's only round three and we're already negative 225 or so after two games.

Er, Game 13? The Baby Bombers 1993 (Sheedy). If Neeldy can pull it off it won't even be a record.
