I was nervous as hell before bombers game, just had that feeling we would lose (put $20 on bombers to win it eased the pain a little), today I am as confident as I have ever been that we will win

Now I'm nervous.

 

 

They have 5 players that could hurt us - Hanley, Stef Martin, Rich, Robinson and Christensen.  Their team is atrocious.

After those 5 their next best players are probably Lewis Taylor and Daniel Merrett.   Taylor is a spud who only gets talked up cos he won the Rising Star award, and Merrett will have his hands full with Hogan and carrying the rest of the Lions backline.

I'm usually pretty optimistic, but I just can't shake the feeling that this one has the feel of a slow-motion train crash.

What was that Phil Collins song 'I can feel it calling in the air tonight' (or in this case this morning?)
The noises coming out of the club are reasonable. Take the Lions lying down and we will suffer.
I have been here before and have been burnt.

Deep down something had me worried for the essendon game.. Today I'm as confident as can be.. Brisbanes side today is absolutely terrible.. 10 goal win is minimum.

If anyone is feeling nervous, I'd just like to add that I have seen 8 consecutive losses and I will be in attendance today.

Taking my 8 month old he has seen 1 consecutive win (GWS), I'm extremely confident we'll win and win big. I fully expect Merritt to elbow someone in the back of the head and Robinson to be bashed from pillar to post from siren to siren by Viney, Vince, Kennedy etc.

I expect the Lions to come out breathing fire in the first quarter.  Leppa will probably have them up and about and it wouldn't surprise me to see us take a little time to settle.  We just need to keep our focus, get first hands on the ball and make it count on the scoreboard.  If we can put a little distance between us then their heads will drop.  

Everyone needs to do themselves a favour and settle down if they kick the first goal or stick with us early.  It happens.  I am confident we can see of an early challenge.

Looking for big Max to get on top of Stef Martin today and bounce back from last week, while I'm very interested to see how our back line goes after the scrutiny it came under last week.

Dees by 7 goals.


Be nice if they started like our Women''s team

Qtr Time Melb 40 Brisbane zip!

Watching the womans game. Ellie Blackburn is seriously all class, Aussie cricketer Jess Cameron already 3 snags and Melissa Hickey has bigger arms then Cale Morton.

So Brisbane did turn up ? :rolleyes:

Every Melbourne supporters reaction when Viney slams Robinson into the MCG turf in the first minute of the game:

robert redford yes yeah head nod 70ies

This is fine but, historically, the problem with it is that we don't settle - we go into our shells and battle away for the next three quarters, terrified of losing.

Can almost guarantee that is how this game will play out.

I can guarantee that it won't.  I think we've matured more in this area and we understand what it takes to not only settle, but to put scoreboard pressure on as well.  The Lions are a shocking side and we just need to hold them at arms length early before we put them away.

First time Ive watched womens footy and its oddly entertaining

Hopefully the scoreline mirrors the main game

When was the last time we won as favourites?? Seriously I can't remember, nearly all our wins for the past few years we are rank outsiders !

 

Last year against the Bears- remember that hideous game? Most have probably blocked it from their memory .

Let's hope so - there are certainly good signs generally.

It all depends on the start. If we get away, we get away, and have games like Collingwood to hang our hats on.

But if we get jumped early, we're much more likely to get locked in a close arm wrestle for the whole day.

Until we have more evidence that we've gotten over this pattern, I'll believe it when I see it.

Surprisingly our foot skills has been really impressive. Running for each other and really digging in to win the hard ball.

Don't mind it one bit!

We've shown we can rebound well after a loss so I think we'll be switched on for this game. We've also shown we can score heavily, combine the two and lookout!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
