GAME DAY - Round 10



Recommended Posts

Roos is right.

As soon as we stop playing as a team, start playing like buggered, unfit amateur footballers, it's unsurprising that the opposition gets on top.

Will be a battle of the fittest at the end.

I reckon we r cooked again.

We didn't score at all for the last 9min and as soon as Collingwood put the pressure on our disposal went to shitz.

I am conducting a little experiment today. I delayed watching the game on the box because the good lady was delayed getting home. We are about 1 quarter behind but I am reading the posts on here. I thought after post 247 we were about 60 points down judging by the comments. At the 14 minute mark of the game we are 1 point down in the 2nd quarter. Seriously people when Roos talks about mental scars I reckon he includes D'landers as well. We look good at the moment and reckon we will be in front by half time. Lets be a bit positive on here. In the terms of Donald Sutherland (dees just hit the front) in Kelly's Heroes "Enough with the negative vibes".

6 in a row against the filth. Where is my Red Wine waiter?

If we continue to let them play Oxley as a loose man in defense, we'll lose. We need Pig Dog to put a hard tag on Pendles until he can't run any more then sub him off and get Matt Jones to do the same. Pendlebury's tearing us a new one.

Gawn is having a big influence in the middle.

Sadly as soon as we get the ball we crap our pants. Big occasion getting to the players?

Brayshaw is the most composed out there and has the least experience. Go figure.

We put an extra down back and so did they. Difference is they can hit a target going forward and we just bomb it long to Hogan and 3 Collingwood defenders.

The bombing it long into the forward line is something I've almost managed to coach out of my Year 2 auskick side, Roosy and the gang persisting with it at AFL level though I see. FMD

We didn't play bad in last 9 minutes. The change was Oxley being spare man in defence.

Roos needs to man it up. We were on top last week until Port put Ebert back as spare

Getting the Red wine googles on. Always looks better when I have them on. Are you suggesting that perhaps my positivity is misplaced (Elliot just goaled) B*gger!

Not getting enough from Riley, Newton or Pederson

Agreed, and there is room to improve. I thought Pedersen lifted in the second and Newton has laid 5 tackles to half time. They are contributing but need to do more in the second half for us to win.

If we can see that Oxley is killing us as a spare (and to quote Rowan Atkinson "I think we can...") then certainly roos and those in the box can too. So can some one who knows more about footy than I do they'll me why we don't make it one on one?

Garland is not having a good game at all. Poor decision making. Has had a kick smothered at least 4 times I reckon. Needs to find another way to go forward.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
