GAME DAY - Round 22


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Personally, I'll never be 'stoked with a loss'. I'm always disappointed, even when there was no expectation that we'd win. 30 points is a bit easier to handle than 100 though.

True, maybe stoked was the wrong word. But if for example St Kilda were going over to Perth this weekend and took it right up to Freo and lost by less than 30 points, half of Demonland would be saying how amazing their rebuild has been , how easily they leapfrogged us and how awesome their kids are.

a repeat of the last 3 weeks - absolutely smashed and embarassed in the first half then a false semi-comeback as the opposition rests on their laurels

just looking at the team sheet ... Garland, Howe, MJones, Michie, Cross, ANB, Garlett, Spencer, OMac, Gawn, Watts, Stretch, Newton and Grimes

That's 14 blokes who are either ineffective kids or seniors who are guilty of some atrocious footy this season. No reasonable person could expect a decent performance out of any of them to be quite blunt.

the line should be around 100 for mine

I expect that they will play their guts out. After Roos comments about negative fans I expect them to bleed this week. Don't actually care about the result but do care about the effort. We are playing a very, very good team but its a team that rarely kills oppositions as Lyons appears to only want to win and they quite often shut down when the game is in their control. I am expecting to be within 5-6 goals at the end. To me, considering the opposition, that would be a good result. Opening a red at the start of the game

It's going to be greasy conditions with the odd shower of rain passing through. Can't see it being completely dried out before this arvo.

Expect a scrappy, low scoring game.

I was completely wrong with the above forecast.

I've just got off the field myself from playing Masters footy and it's dry, warm and a little breezy.

Played against Des Headland and Dale Kickett.

We came second. :(

Backs against the wall... Inspirational skippers 200th game... Playing a side who's renowned for putting the cue in the rack at this time of year in prep for finals... Still lose by 10+ goals

Do you play in the rep games? I am playing in the over 55 this year and the rep games are brilliant. The lower levels get a bit fair dinkum but the old guys games are fun.

Tbh I have forgotten what it's like to enjoy watching the footy and supporting a team that plays in the finals. I do miss that feeling.

Footy is such a chore and it shouldn't be.

    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
