I'll be amazed if it's not a flogging, let alone a loss.

    Surely you're 'dee-lirious'?

    We'd need to be winning for a few years to get a fair shake by the umps over WA.

    I watched one year we played WC over there and they were allowed to throw it, was amazing.

    It's criminal what goes on over there with the umps.

    But, in saying that, I will be happy if we don't lose by 100 plus.

    The spotlight will be on the way we play not on the result

    Eagles are struggling IMO

    I just want to see any of the below:

    -some sort of team game plan/strategy.. some thinking

    -some reaction from Neeld, move players, drag players, try something

    -some sort of awareness of your opponent, both with and without the ball

    -genuine fearlessness at the contests

    -some passion, leadership and talk

    -some skills that at least resemble AFL standard

    -someone, anyone to do something special.. a highlight (exc. Howe)

    -Watts, Grimes, Trengove, Sylvia, Jamar and Frawley look like the quality you are supposed to be

    that's my 8 criteria, each of them are worth several goals on the board

    I will review post-match at how they went

    please God not over 100 points

    Noone tipped us to beat the dons last year, and we are better than what we have shown on the field, somethings gotta give.

    We can but I don't think we will I would love a win against them more than any other side but would settle for a much improved performance and a strong effort across the board. I dont think Lecras will play but then again they really want to win this game because they do not want to be 0-3 which means Kerr & Lecras are being considered.

    I hope it rains and turns into a slog as I believe that may even out the contest and keep the score low, to be close for a lot of the game may increase some confidence

    65 to 1 for a 40 point win by Melbourne.

    Is LeCras the quickest healer on earth? I'd be astounded if he plays, given he broke his arm.

    I would cringe if Nic Naitanui would be playing.

    I think I'll be cringing anyway on Saturday, regardless. No I don't think we will win. But I'm hoping like hell the players lift and at least warm my heart.

    i don't think we'll win.

    I rarely do during these dark times. I just want us to be competitive and play like we give a damn.

    Me also

    If by some miracle we did you would have to call in the stewards such would be the change in 7 days.

    I never, not ever thought I would say this but right now I will go home a happy man with anything under a ten goal loss

    As a couple of posters have mentioned, and given it's a 2 horse race, there are some very decent odds about melbourne winning. I've thrown $20.00 in. Stranger things have happened.

    Me too (1-39) and a small saver @ 40+ (LMAO). They already owe me heaps but I just can't help myself.

    Made Cox captain in Dream Team and Supercoach for this week, he will crap all over Jamar. We will get trounced.

    I really hope I'm wrong.

    Hopefully Jamar doesn't play :)

    I wonder what the odds are on a 60+ point win? Might not be a bad idea considering putting $20 on it if the odds are over $5.

    If we lose by over that amount its a win $$$$

    If we lose by less than that amount it is a win

    This way we can all walk from the G on Saturday happy

    Opps my mistake you can't do that West coast wining by 40+ is $1.39

    and West Coast winning by 1-39 is $3.90

    Who ever thinks this could be a close one see above (or a doctor)!

    I think we will show more against them but I think there are players that I hope are not selected and players i want in the side that will probably not be selected.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
