Im actually working today so will have it on until 5 then check the results near the end of the game. Im expecting to lose and geelong should thrash a team like us, but hopefully we can give it a good contest and we compete and hawkins doesnt dominate like he usually does.

 

Actually, it's only on Foxtel.....still won't save us.

It is too.. Usually sunday 3:20 is channel 7..

Will be a loss but won't be as bad as some think. They are missing enough players in key areas to keep us in the contest from the opening bounce. Will still be a 5-6 goal loss but not much more than that.
 

Heavy day of on-line gaming, is there a game on?

I'll be disappointed today if we can't compete in the midfield. We should have the better tap ruckman and we have our best midfielders in the side.

However, we have significant issues at both ends of the ground so I won't be surprised if we struggle to kick goals and lose because of it.

The way people are talking on here though, it's like we're taking the Casey seconds to Tasmania to play a full-strength Hawthorn side. Geelong of 2015 is nothing to be afraid of, even in Geelong. If we had our full strength side I'd be a lot more positive.

Agreed. Our midfield is actually pretty close to full strength and there is plenty of run there. If we can keep Hawkins quiet as well then we should be competitive.

We will probably struggle to kick more than 6-7 goals for the day, and we will need a big day from Garlett (who is due to kick a bag!) but no Hogan really hurts.

In the car now heading down for lunch then the game. Beautiful day, feeling optimistic.

Dear Coach, please do not play Rohan Bail (44) in the forward line. He cannot hit the side of a barn. This is often a great disadvantage to Rohan and the rest of our team when Rohan is shooting for goal. He often seems to be the last man at the end of the chain of play going forward. This is often because the opposition dont bother to put a man on him because its not w...........

I went to a bar b que last night that was mainly full of South American expats. (the 'lads" got me an invitation) Anyway it was bloody freezing so I was wearing my Demons scarf. A couple of the gauchos engaged me in conversation and asked me, incredulously, If I actually followed Melbourne. When I replied in the affirmative they were very sympathetic and asked me how much I expected to lose by this weekend. These guys know bugger all about Aussie Rules and follow soccer. FMD!

If you were dressed like your avatar, maybe they were just scared and saying something to make you go away.

300th game for Enright? You think they might want to pummel the Dees again for old time sake?

Its more likely because he is the only one to run into the forward line....

Don't drag me down jnr!! Trying to forget it's his 300th...

Decided not to watch this one

Its more likely because he is the only one to run into the forward line....

Just having a chuckle mate, take it easy. :)


FLOGGING TO END ALL FLOGGINGS COMING UP TODAY I FEAR!

I had a dream that we won by 40 points. Watch this space.

I'll be shocked if we score 40 points.

My ensemble was, as always, in impeccable taste.

Feeling optimistic about the Lunch?

 

I'm heading down today to watch my first afl game at skilled..

Absolutely gutted Hogan is out.. Just hope we are there abouts at 3qtr time..

They have a few injuries.. So who knows..

Jones will have to kick 3 today and have 35+ for us to have a sniff..

Hoping Toumpus fires again!

I think you missed that boat mate. Believe its Simonds stadium now - least they keep the same initials (Shell, Skilled, Simmonds).

Hope this isn't your last - not a good feeling getting thrashed at the cattery surrounded by a flock of agro grannies dissing your team.

  • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

    Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.
