What happens if we lose to GWS?


The HuLK

Recommended Posts

Does Neeld go?

Do we accept that's we're we are at?

Is it the cattle?

If we do lose, I can't see how we could keep the current coaching and there plans.

Keep neeld to the end of the year, he will still have a year to run on contract, look at it then, I saw a good first half from the dees and I think we will see a better performance next week.

The pressure on the Board will be enormous. Do they stare the media down or do they accept that the truth of the matter is the media are right. I hate the muck-rakers being right so I'm prepared to stare them down like Hird did (to date). Neeld gets the year!

What's that got to the question dee-luded ?

Simple DEE-VOTED.

the players need to recover their composure.

We went into Rnd1 after a big cleanout,, too Young.. the terrible result has set off a big loss of confidence & belief, & a fireball, which it seems to me you are trying to fuel.

I get the feeling your not more than 20 something. & so would know little about how to go about fixing this issue...

except to make it worse.

It is not the 1990's where we could simply go harder in the contest, to force more stoppages, & arrest the momentum.

Now with the size of the Interchange bench has allowed many more strategies to apply to the game & so inexperienced sides are really up against it to stop the team with the momentum.

Thats why there are more blowouts in todays footy.

your posts of this type are not what will help the Club.

Essendon the club, are showing their class, after some decades of a Sheedy dynasty... Character personified throughout.

that win was full of character. that is Sheedy's Legacy.

that club & its supporter base have regrouped TOGETHER, to fight, backs against the world, to take on anycomer...

... & what do I see here,,, rats, wanting to foul, & then desert the ship. & bite anything that passes in front of them.

GWS are younger and more inexperienced than us but don't get blown out of the water as much as we have the last 3 weeks. How long do we keep blaming tactics and youth and modern footy?

I'm not sure losing to GWS makes things worse or makes us less honest

GWS have stuck to their Guns. that is my point that I made... only Mark Williams that I can think of has moved on. they have stuck to their plan in a disciplined way.

they have stability as does GCSuns, because they've stuck to their plans & not panicked.

We are like Richmond of the 80's, because people are continually panicking..... don't listen to the likes of Caro.

continually changing things before they show they're value is craziness.

Just got home from the G the Ist half was great sat in the cheer squad with the lovely and kids and got to wave the flags 9 times in the half brilliant stuff.

Waited with anticipation for the 3rd quarter and watched us get smacked by 11 goals to 1.

The following conclusions were made: we have a really young and 2nd rate midfield that has not got the ability to run from defense to the forward line and back and is simply not strong enough. fit enough or good enough to compete at AFL level

Whitfield, Bugg, Scully, Ward, Shiel, Treloar, Greene & Coniglio will run our midfield off its feet next week unfortunately.

Our midfield is 2nd rate

Saints touched them up and Scully's copping bronx cheers....

If they win, they win.

Today we unearthed Evans (who was good) until he ran out of puff. He's only 20 and coming back from a debilitating back injury.

Matt Jones is a real find.

Ro Bail was great - I hope the kid's head is okay.

Dean Terlich must play every weak, as he has a crack and his skills will improve.

The penny may have dropped with Sylvia and today he really stood up.

3 Jacks were terrific.

Big Mitch is getting better and Nathan Jones may yet win a Brownlow.

Neeld is the man.

You are very optimistic Jumbo. Hope you are right. Time will tell but its what happens in the meantime that really worries me.

Well Patton has done his acl so he is one tall we dont have to worry about. poor kid but its a shame it wasnt Scully.

I was impressed with Evans today. With some more games under him he will be ok. They may have scully, greene, bugg and Whitfield but they have to compete with Jones and Viney who are tough tough men and I think will want to make the presence felt.

Yeah, it's veiled optimism, DemonOx.

I just thought, today, there was flair and some good skills on show.

Most of our players are still too lazy and will need to lift another level to compete/stay in AFL footy.

I agree, poor kid...he'll be anything.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
