GAMEDAY - ROUND 5


Chook

Recommended Posts

Both sides are out of form, though I guess since we won last week, and are coming off a 12-goal quarter, we're less so.

Both sides are missing key players.

The one main difference - it's in Brisbane.

In Melbourne, I'd be a lot more confident, but putting our side on a foreign ground, especially since we've been at the G all year so far, makes me doubt our chances.

At our best (first half v West Coast, last quarter v GWS) we can and should beat them. Whether we can reach our best for long enough up there remains to be seen.

This is why it is such an important day for Neeld.

He needs to motivate this group to play hard AWAY from the MCG.

I listened to Ken Hinkley's presser last night.

MN should do the same.

I think we will be in the game at 3/4 time, people are giving brisbane too much credit and we will come in with abit of confidence

I think we'll get done, but it will be with a lot more fight than usual. 3-5 goal loss.

Hopefully I'm wrong and we belt them by 37 goals, Gary Ablett leaves the Suns to come to us and I win the lotto.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Nathan Jones, Matt Jones, Jack Trengove, Rohan Bail, Jordie McKenzie, Dean Terlich and Jack Grimes all in the same team. All of them are hard running, good tackling mids who will try all day no matter what happens.

highly optimistic, i think it will be 15 goals

When is the club accountable in your eyes?

When do we stop this expecting to lose everytime we step away from the womb that is the MCG.

5 weeks ago most expected us to beat Port.

Hinkley has got that list playing for him and for their team mates.

Now i saw a glimpse of that with the MFC last week in the Final Q.

It is Neeld's job to make sure that spirit, belief and fun continues this week.

We can win with the right mind set today.

If we get pumped Neeld's position is on shaky ground.

It is up to him. I want him to succeed by the way, but there is the time for delivery.

Would a loss to the lions by say 20 plus points be the end of voss as their coach?

Not a chance. I don't even think losing by a hundred points would see him gone this week.

I wouldn't say so, it will just turn the gauge up a notch. If we belted them by 80 points then maybe. It works in reverse as well tho, if we get smashed today, Mark Neeld is again pushing [censored] up hill to keep his job.

I hope you are right Demonfan, 'cos if we are in it at 3/4 time, I reckon we will win.

I would say that ANY team losing to Melbourne atm by more than 20pts would put their coach on shakey ground

Hope to see Davey as the sub and Frawley take Brown. Who's McKenzie going to take? Beamer? I have a feeling that Moloney is going to have a very good game today...

You underestimate Jordie McKenzie. He was really good against Port Adelaide in Round 1. But I think he'll go to Rocky anyway.

I get the feeling that you've worded this incorrectly.

Yeah sorry i just mean if we beat them fairly comfortably, seems like they are having alot of the same sorts of issues we are on field so it should be an interesting game

I didn't mean that if McKenzie is tagging Beamer that Beamer will have a big day; I meant that I think Beamer will be up and about for this game. I wouldn't mind seeing Neeld put McKenzie on him.

I've just put on another $20.00 via sportsbet. Go figure, I lost $200.00 on us last week and we won!! FMD

You should have gone with a fifty on the 40+ @ $4.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    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
