Outside the box - Bernie.

Bernie on Stringer or Bont. Bugg takes the other. It is a mental thing, Bernie and Bugg are the anti-dote to certain types. Bernie smashed Dangerfield last year and Bont is of similar type (mentally). So is Stringer. Its simple really, disrespect the narcissist types early in the peace.

I'll pick him up up from his home and drive him to Etihad - that should do the trick.

We ain't the only Club with this worry. Jetts might have the toe but could be out marked. Garland and above height wise can't keep pace with him.  Start Jetta and see how it pans out. The best de

Have any of you watched us play all year? He won't have a direct opponent. He will kick 4-5, all out the back and mostly on a mis-match with Jetta. 

But I'm not worried about him at all. The midfield pressure and forward press will mean far more to the result of the game than who is nearest Stringer when the ball gets out the back.

Fair call. Let them worry about our midfield. Push it forward and put their undermanned backline under the pump.

Agreed. Get into him early physically and verbally and he'll be standing there for the rest of day, holding his package.

From memory Bernie played on Bont in our win against the Doggies last year with a great deal of success, including catching him holding the ball and kicking the sealer in the last. More of that please.

Yes yes yes

Frost was recruited EXACTLY to match up on players like Stringer. Yet MFC wanted to develop as a forward (when we have 4-5 key forwards).

Frost needs to be in to match up with players like Riewoldt, Lynch, Daniher (all who have beaten Tom Mcdonald this year).

 

Frost is picked in defence for Casey. Maybe they are finally going to try him there.....

Frost will soon become a decent forward/defender,his confidence may be a little low due to a long lay off. The Melbourne Football team is still short on quality players. Our opponent do not have a quality defence themselves. Whilst Stringer and co.may be standouts  we also have our share of standouts. The Dees to win in an upset.

Bernie to Bont. Garland to Stringer. Beat them at the contest we will get it inside 50 enough to win and win well. 

Hard to get a feel for how good the dogs are until you play at the home of football (Sydney a good example last night).

What I do know is if player don't perform there are 4-6 ready and able to take their place.

MFC & Frawley made him a household name 

Didn't do much else that game. Averaged 15.5 possessions against us last year.

Stringer is the bigger worry for us.

Vince to shut down Bont like he did at the G last year.

Stringer needs close attention. When they played Hawthorn Stratton wore him like a glove all day. Whoever we send to him, whether Garland or TMac, should just run with him all day. I worry that with a zone defence Stringer will use the open spaces to do what he likes.

Yes, because the umpires were clearly seduced by that goal.

Most match reports had him amongst the top 5 best but nowhere near BOG.

17 touches, 3 marks, 2 goals. There was at least 5-6 players better than him that day.

But hey, we better watch out for Jamar next time we play Essendon, he got 2 Brownlow votes that day...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
