Brisbane have been all but destroyed by North. Often their own worst enemy by continually missing targets and breaking down almost every time they get it forward of centre.

We bring the commitment from the first and last quarters and properly sort out the set up at stoppages, we are in with a huge chance of two in a row and maybe a turn of the tide.

We are a real chance. I realise I should add something else, but at the moment I've got nothing lol

We should have a real crack

i love the optimism here, no doubt caught during the highly contagious last quarter but did you guys watch the other 3 quarters? And all other quarters this year baring some glimpses in the game against the Eagles. I also point you to exhibit A from round 1 last year.

I dearly hope I am proven wrong but I find the optimism here after one quarter of decent football to be premature. Just my two cents. As i said I love the optimism but I have supported this club for too long and have had all the optimism sucked out of me.

Hey buddy....enjoy the week this week and try to think about being a winner.

Who knows about next week but we are a chance if we can sustain the effort from the last qtr no doubt.

Our worst is far worse that the Lions. This remains a worry in every game we play.

Our steady, tight football (when we show it) is equal to theirs.

Our best - shown today in the 4th quarter - is better than their best.

We are a chance and I reckon it will be within 3 goals for them or us but I am not confident.

Bring in Strauss and McKenzie for Viney (needs a break) and Jetta. Don't mess with a winning team, even though it means leaving Pedersen in.

I'd be a bit annoyed if Jetta was dropped after what was an admirable performance today. I agree that McKenzie for Viney may not be a bad swap.

Could be in reference to his report though

Of course we are a chance.

With the right attitude.

I hope Neeld trains them hard this week. No resting on laurels...even subconciously.

Brisbane have been very ordinary this year.

Neeld is fighting for his career. Maybe that was his message at 3/4 time.

Just play for each other.

gonna be hard without Mitch, but definitely not impossible.

Frawley to Brown, McDonald to Martin

McKenzie in to shut down Tom Rockliff

Most importantly, I really hope Neeld turned a corner today in his coaching and he lets the boys loose again like in the 4th quarter. Let them play, let them run, let them be bold.

I think we will be back to earth after the Brisbane game IMO..

I thought we finished really well today but our skills against a bunch of kids were poor at times throughout today.

I good side will chew us up..

Are Brisbane good...I'm not sure... but I think they will give it to us on the scoreboard personally...I hope I am wrong..

Would be nice to c a win up here for once.

We are definitely a chance but it would be nice to play FOUR bloody quarters.

Heres hoping.

Posted

We are absolutely a huge chance

I think we'll struggle against the Lions mature inside mids, with todays inunders. we need more grunt at the stoppages, & viney looks to be tiring. > Magner/Kent ?

& the backline needs more experience. Strauss/Dunn ?

As soon as someone starts one of these threads we lose. You are all kidding yourself. Will back Brisbane at the line and make a fortune

it will be tough.. but we wont get the points.

I just hope we can stay with them for a while.

They will be DESPERATE for a win and might just take their anger out on us

He's been trying to get them to be bold the whole year. As Nate Jones summed it up last week:

""That's Melbourne footy – that's how we want to play, we want to be bold, we want to take it on."

An inexperienced side in GWS came very close to winning today. The last quarter was something both sides were not expecting.

Every round MFC are a chance, the problem is that when they are 2-3 goals down they give up, today being an exception.

Posted

Let's all be honest here.

We're almost no chance.

Yes, we just won, and yes, Brisbane just lost, and yes, Brisbane look bad, and yes, we looked OK.

But remember, we played poorly enough during the first three quarters to be trailing by 19 against GWS. And that was at the G. We have to go to the Gabba next week. Brisbane was beaten by North, a very good side who's 1-3 record doesn't do its form justice.

If we play like we did in the fourth, we'll be in with a shake, but we're far more likely to play like we did in the first, second and third, opening ourselves up to being beaten quite easily.

If todays last quarter can go some way to eliminating fearofgettingthepillinmyhandsitis then we may.

Posted

Really silly to say we're no chance. Brisbane are every bit a bottom six side. At this stage you could even say bottom four. They got smashed by the Dogs and just fell over the line against the Suns.

First half against West Coast and the last quarter today is something to build upon, confidence wise.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
