GAME DAY, ROUND 2, 2015

Not confident at all.

But I'll be so annoyed if we lose!

 

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

or perhaps another 189 days....
 

Like last week, I think much of this game comes down to the midfield. Jamar quelling Mumford is a start, but they still have Treloar, Shiel, Coniglio, Ward, Griffen, Greene, Palmer and Whitfield - it's quite a deep midfield and could do significant damage. Break even there, and I think our back line has their forward line sufficiently covered to generate a lot of scoring plays from the back half.


Remember that 12 goal final quarter the last time we beat the Giants? I watched that last night to razz myself up a little bit for today's match and I actually found myself pretty underwhelmed by it, regardless of the thrashing. Maybe because it happened in arguably the worst season in our history. Maybe because seeing Mark Neeld in a Melbourne polo still makes my eye twitch. Maybe because Trengove and Grimes were our captains (WTF, seriously). Maybe because I saw hacks like Bail, Byrnes, M. Jones, Terlich and so many others running around in our jumper and was reminded that these guys were among our core group throughout that period.

What did razz me was to see how things have changed since then. Only eight players from the team that day will line up for us today (N. Jones, Garland, Howe, Jamar, Jetta, Viney, Tommy Mac and Watts) and they are all so improved. Our boy Frost was wearing that hideous orange and charcoal guernsey. Dom Tyson was either in the twos or injured, but either way most probably already contemplating his move back to Victoria :P

I think we'll get the four points today but I definitely don't expect any 12 goal quarters. Unfortunately I won't be watching so I'll have to wait for the replay to find out :(

Apparently the Scully family will be sitting in the Eastern Grandstand today.

They managed to book it early so all six of them should be able to squeeze in.

hired a crane to lower them in i imagine
 

No the Eastern Grandstad was booked for fat Phil


During casual warm up earlier, Dunn cleared the netting behind the goals from the 50m mark

if we loose i will blame Dawes & Watts, and call for the sacking of Roos.

if we win Jones & Tyson are champions,Kent will have a day out & in Roos i will trust.

4 games ago we scored 3 goals in an entire match against the giants and lost by 64 pts at the G. Amazing to think we are all expecting a win. A preseason is a long time in footy!


It's funny cause GWS supporters think they should win; and we think we should win. It'll be an interesting game today...

Ha ha all 2 of them!

I am so nervous, it's so hard to know what to expect!!!

This game will be won in the coaches box. Last week roos showed some tricks using Kent and viney in tagging roles that no one else would have predicted. Roos is very canny in how he has motivated the players individually and as a team in the past. (Referring to Richmond game last year and the essendon comeback) very optimistic today.

This game will be won in the coaches box.

Well that's good news then.


FML any chance we can stop giving away dumb frees?

Also what's with the bell ringing in the background??

Roos said pre game we will go to Griffen over the other mids.

That's just playing the percentages - Griffen invariably stars against us.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    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.
