GAME DAY, ROUND 2, 2015

On paper we should be very competitive.

Forward line certainly capable of kicking a winning score.

This week's result could be more important for team confidence than last weeks.

 

Some will argue Trengove, others Petracca - but I think today's side is the best 22.

I'm not expecting to win, the Giants seem to match-up well against us. But I'll be disappointed if we don't.

I wouldn't argue for Trenners but if Petracca wasn't injured he and Brayshaw could be rotated every couple of weeks to manage their workload.

Where can I watch this online? Or do I have to pay the $90 for the subscription?
 

got $ 3,35 at tab , under 39 pts :)

I was confident we'd beat Gold Coast, but less confident today.

That said, I think we should win and I expect to win. Our best football is better than the Giants, but, once again, we need to get on top around the stoppages.

Shiel, Ward, Griffen and Treloar are a more talented quartet than Jones, Tyson, Viney and Vince, however, I believe we can neutralise the midfield battle and I believe we have an edge in superiority across the rest of the ground. Jamar needs a big game today and has to break even, or close to with Mumford.


Quietly confident again this week ... our forward line looks dangerous all of a sudden and that's because of the Watts factor IMO. Him being used as the 3rd or even the 4th forward in a floating role can result in him kicking 3 or 4 goals.

If GWS concentrate their efforts on Watts, that can in turn free up Hogan, Dawes, Frost or even vandenBerg. (our small forwards obviously need to contribute as well)

Midfield and backline needs to stand up to a large degree for it all to come together ... we lost the clearances (stoppages 26-18 in the GCS favour) by a margin of 9 last week and still won reasonably comfortably ... we can't expect to do that every week and win games.

backed them at$51 win by 60+ points looks like money for old rope to me go the dees

I'm not sure what to take out of clearance stats. We won contested footy, uncontested footy and tackles.

and back watts for first goal


Just returned from a 6 km walk in a (fruitless) attempt to ease the nervous tension. I reckon it will be close, but my gut feeling, based on the vibe at training yesterday arvo, is that our boys are really up for this one. Just break even around the stoppages, and play with the same application and work rate as last week, and we will win. Off to the ground shortly, and totally pumped.

I'm not sure what to take out of clearance stats. We won contested footy, uncontested footy and tackles.

Footy is now a physical (often violent) version of "keepings off" so winning any clearance can result in a scoring opportunity,

Contested footy numbers are also a great pointer and so is uncontested footy. Hit-outs to advantage or even just nullifying a high performing opposition ruckman is vital too.

I was never much of a stats person but I am now (to a degree)

Some stats are meaningless and how do we measure quality of possession and/or creativity and vision?

If you sign up for an AFL ID then you can get a 2 week free trial for AFL Live access.

Not sure about giants but consider us 5-6 goal better side than the aints as well as now more composed.

Dawes makes us harder to set up on...Hogan more dangerous as result.

Another 26 point win will do

Go Dees

Generally they offer a live stream on the rival Demonology site

2 in a row for the first time since the stone age would be very nice

Ahh it's been a while since I've been this nervous/excited for a game.

The local pub always works for me but today, with my mates not available for a counter, I will be trying to access the live stream at Demonology.

Same with me. It was this time last Saturday!


Ahh it's been a while since I've been this nervous/excited for a game.

same here. at work at the moment... business is slow and I find myself passing looking for stuff to do and checking demonland every 2 minutes to try and pass the time.....

I have no idea how this game will go...

Normally I have a feeling either way, but today I can't seem to make my mind up.

It's been such a great week. Is is greedy to want the good vibes to continue for at least another seven days?

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
