GAME DAY at Alice Springs - Round 9



Recommended Posts

This game might suit Jesse Hogan if we can get the ball inside our 50 enough times, more fast paced and he might find himself 1 on 1 on more occasions than other weeks, we can only hope so.

You're spot on abut i50s. It all starts with clearances.

We've been going over stopping their run from defence and the right configuration for our defence (to Fitz or not to Fitz).

But it all starts and ends in the midfield.

Agree it starts in the midfield. Just hope it ends with our forwards kicking accurately.

Do this and we win methinks.

Confidence/Belief is growing nicely amongst this lot and the injection of Viney is another boost. We should give a good account of ourselves. 2 in a row beckons. My main concern is their experience. Have many more games on average (across their 22) than we do and we have a few more sub 50 gamers as well. If we win we will have pulled off a decent victory here.

Earliest game day thread in recent memory. Me thinks a few are a bit excited about this one.

Would be a massive chapter in our revival if we could snag 2 in a row for the first time since 2011, given we have 3 or 4 very winnable games in June and July.

Despite the recent success of Port, this is a very winnable game. We've had a pretty good idea of how to play them for a couple of years, they are in terrible form and a number of their better players are out. If we can get out to a good start it will shake their belief and we could very well take it away from them.

Tat being said, the folks over at Port are no doubt saying right now that this is a very winnable game and an opportunity to get their season back on track...

Bummer. Can't watch. Updates via the iPhone app, plus this Game Day thread are all I have to go on.

Luckily, I have a Masters Degree, and am thinking about a PhD, so all is well ...

Given our history of not winning and not winning two in a row for many years has anyone tipped us to win?

I want to but my fingers and brain won't let me!

I really just have no confidence that we will win two in a row.

Happy to be wrong.

We have (or had - hope it's past tense!) the habit of losing the rare games that we go in as favourites. Lid firmly shut for now.

We ain't favourites Akum.

Last I saw we were $2.75 to Port $1.47

The time has come for us to put back to back wins together...

We shouldn't under estimate the confidence we bring into this game compared to the Power, makes a big difference.

Any way, Will watch on Foxtel from the palatial movie room at Chez Fence!

I just got on Melbourne to win by over 15.5 points. Offering of $5.20 was too good to resist.

Good to see you're getting more "O" & less "B"!

    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
