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.

highly optimistic, i think it will be 15 goals

is that the total of goals kicked for the day?

Posted

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.

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

Funny what Channel 7 "News" has done to our 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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
