im feelin good about our chances today , us by 17 points

 

Win or lose doesn't seem as important to me as actually looking forward to the game. I haven't felt that all year.
 

WATTS ruck/ruck rover good move,hope he ends up "resting" in the forward line. I hope he keeps this position for at least 3 weeks ,the experience will be good for him ( improve confidence

and self esteem ) and for the dees.

BLEASE needs to keep playing senior footy.

I would like to see GARLAND play forward when FRAWLEY gets back,he has kicked goals b4.

Overall CRAIG team looks alright, the so called "also rans"get to have another crack,will be interesting.

note:- b4 stands 4 before,I hope that the above is not an english test. 4 those those who are concerned,should statements end in a ?,YOU worry warts need to get a life.By the way my name

is FERKOFF

hahaha I lost it when I read this. I have done the exact same thing to two ex girlfriends lol. Building a supporter base one by one.

Is it wrong to buy her a Dees membership for Xmas?


One things for sure, if we do get up today the heat is going to be well and truly on Scott Watters.

C'mon Dee's.

Sticking tackles will be crucial today.

Watching Port v Sydney reminds me that intense pressure and good tackling can bridge a gap between two teams very quickly.

Did anyone pick the dees in their tipping comp?????

I was going to then not then going to then not, still not bloody sure what to do.

I did, I'm about 8 points from the top so figured I'd pick something different.

Heres hoping.

Good luck boydie. In saying that I am undecided I did put $10 on at $7 for the dees to win between 1 - 39 points so here's hoping

id be happy to take the 4 points......by......4 points !!! ^_^


i'm nervous.

It's like a first date!!!!!!!

prior to a certain persons departure I commented to the good lady ( upon her questioning ) that I didnt think wed probably win another game for the year. We still might not , but my thinking is we just might now. Today being a case in point.

A littlel ray of sunshine...has come into my world !!!!

( well we can give it a whirl !!! ) :)

You know that phenomenon were teams who's coaches are sacked come out and play awesome the following weekend? People often say "they played for the coach, but why couldn't they do that previously"?

Well I have a theory, I believe that happens because often when things are going south at footy clubs, and pressure is really mounting on a coach, the players really feel that. They feel a weight of responsibility, which makes them less confident, less able to positively attack games. We've seen it this year in many games where we play quite well, and then when the going gets tough, the players find it very difficult to play with freedom, they second guess themselves, they think, oh no, another big loss could be catastrophic for Mark... etc.... and the confidence level plummets. The collingwood game is a prime example. It's not that they are not fit enough or good enough, it's that the weight of responsibility forces them to go into their shell.

Then when the coach departs and that cloud lifts, often they attack the following game with a freedom not previously seen. Garland said it in his presser... "we have nothing to lose now".

Who knows, maybe I'm talking crap, but I'm going with it, and it makes me confident of an improved showing today.

GO DEES!

Yes - never under-estimate how debilitating imposed guilt can be!

As long as she not a dog, cat, hawk, magpie etc you will be alright.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
