GWS- How Confident


DoreenDee

Recommended Posts

After the last 3 weeks of terrible performances, realistically what chance do you think we are of winning on Sunday? They have a few decent players missing through suspension and this is their first game on the G this year (I believe?) but it's safe to say they have been putting up a bigger fight than we have lately. With that being said I think we are a 70% chance of winning and I really hope the boys can find a little bit of hope, confidence and consistency that we've been lacking.

They have no Ruckman and Full forward.

If we bring Gawn in we will smash them.

Mitch will kick six plus.

geeze misplaced optimism here.. we've just turned in the worst start to a season in nearly 30 years, we have hardly put together 0ne good piece of play in 6 hours of football. We absolutely stink at the moment and I would not be confident against anybody.

I'm confident we'll improve on last week, but improve enough to beat GWS, who will be up and about? I'm not sure.

GWS and Kevin know a scalp is on the line. Whilst neither will admit it, they'd love to claim it.

Sheedy acknowledged it on the Backpage panel, last night.

The Bookies reckon more like 62%; I'm not quite that confident.

There's nothing upon which to base any confidence.

It's not easy to be confident about a team which has yet to win a quarter for the season.

They have Giles and Cameron, both very good young players.

If we even equal them in clearances and possessions, we will win, because Mitch Clark will destroy them... Remember when we played them last year, before he got injured in the second quarter? He was beyond dominant

We won't be beaten ....... we can't be beaten!

If the players take this mindset into the game, and they are prepared to fight tooth & nail to prove the point, we will win the game and perhaps a modicum of respect.

Given our record so far, we cannot afford to be cocky, these guys will be looking for their first win and expecting us to be the best chance they will have to get it. They have shown more promise than our side in a couple of their games so far, so lets not get ahead of ourselves.

I reckon setanta o'hailpin will return and destroy Garland.

That being said I think we'll fall over the line with a 6 point win, after GWS make a late charge.

Setanta was leading The Coleman (or almost so doing) a few years ago after a couple or few rounds IIRC.

Indeed he had 16 up after 6 rounds in 2010 I find. At 199 and 100 he's bigger than anything we have.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
