GAME DAY - Round 4


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Astrology is a huge load of carp, but I reckon a few stars are aligning today:
Malthouse under the pump for a whole range of reasons.

The whole Blues camp whinging and moaning because of their pathetic "entitlement" mentality.

The Blues playing worse footy than any other team - even us.

We get Dawes in which dramatically alters the way forward.

Viney and McKenzie to join Cross and Jones - this allows the outside runners to get up and running.

At some stage, the Dees game plan and personnel will click for 4 quarters, probably against a team like the Blues

This is very even game.

Midfields evenly matched but ours in slightly better form.

A lot of turnovers from both teams. This will determine today's result.

We have to stop Lachie Henderson - his swing game could be the difference.

And I am going for the big one - this is Watt's break out game. If he gets running, they do not have someone who can go with him.

JKH to play 4 quarters and burn it up.

Dees by 10 points.

I'd like to see you ask the first question Smith

First question - do you still maintain Carlton is in the Premiership window you sanctimonious [censored]?

Don't know why but I am going. I just feel disloyal watching from home. I do not have an excuse not to go. At least I can get a hot chocolate and some jam donuts to ease the pain. I dislike Carlton and their supporters and just pray today is the day. Go Dees.

My rule has always been Jam donuts only allowed on the way home if we win. Lets just say I haven't had to worry about watching my weight in recent years. Dawes, Dunn and Frawley forward will straighten us up particularly if the rain stays away. It may actually give us a feel as to whether not having something to kick to has been the issue. I just hope we are the aggressor for once.

Not sure about our own bloody website tipping Carlton to win!!!

http://m.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-04-11/match-preview-carlton-v-melbourne

Wtf? That is just bizarre.

Seriously, don't do a match preview on the club website if you're going to tip the opposition, and especially if it that opposition is struggling like Carlton are at the moment.

I don't mind it - their giving an honest prediction - isnt that what people keep asking for - some honesty on the website?

Anyway its probably just copied from the AFL website.

I'm just about to head off. I've backed off on the punt a bit but I still put 20 on the Dees.

$20 on the dees here as well. I will be going and want to be there when we smash them. I want to see the look on Mick Meltdowns face when he realises he is going to get sacked Cant wait.

Granted, but to go so far as to tip the opposition? There is a place for having a bit of faith in the team, however misplaced it might be.

It's an article on the AFL website that has also been published on our website. It's not "our" article per se.

Yeah I get that, I just wouldn't publish it on our site. That might be just me though.

I wouldn't either, but I don't think it matters a fig what MFC people think when it's non-MFC people publishing the articles.

Cant watch today. Going to walk down the beach and get updates on my phone. At least I will be in an awesome environment if we lose.

Don't worry about checking the scores, just watch to see if any of us are walking out into the ocean...

Irrespective of their form when they play us they always seem to make us into chop suey. Having said that, it appears to be our best chance so far this season to grab a win. With our inabilty to score goals it is a must that Dawes gives us some forward line presence.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
