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.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
