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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
