GAME DAY - Round 22


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

It's going to be a long, long day ... and the misery and the pain is likely to continue.

Can we beat Carlton's 5.7.37 from last night?

Can we avoid a 100 pointer?

Will our five ruckman policy pay off?

All these and more questions will be answered by the end of the day.

Yea finally game day, a big chance for us to show what we can do in a huge game at their home ground where we haven't won in who knows how long. I personally think we are a chance, the coach has been able to put together a game plan that pressures this team, we just need that little bit of composure in the final 3rd and I think we can get it done. We have a really good mix of experience and youth against an ageing team that has been dominant for a long time.

Go Wallabies!!!

Last 3 games against them were all losses by more than 90 points. Less than that is progress, no?

You nearly had me there. I was poised to respond with a "WTF, are you serious?"

what time does the game start?

AFL.com.au are bloody useless, they should label all the game times as EST to keep things more organized

umm, they may not want all the WA spectators to roll up 2 hours late for the match.

Oh No

The end is nigh Reverend when you have nothing positive to say.

12 scoring shots WJ?

we usually struggle with that many against a bottom side let alone the WCE's

If we pack the back line and largely forget about scoring ( yes I know what is new ) I reckon around a 90 point loss.

If we think we can score and play open 120 points .

Tonight could be the night we exceed 186

Quite often I worry myself DO.

Let's all hope the margin is 10 goals or less but I don't have a good feeling about this one.

Maybe just check the score tomorrow morning as there's no point losing sleep!

About 3-4 weeks ago I would've said I can see an upset, now I'm back to praying for under 50 points. Biggest thing is first quarter the players have to at least look like they give a s---. These guys are getting paid very good money to do what they do and last week they performed like amateurs.

    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
