We'll win and win well imo. Most confident I've been all year.

i'm not.

we're a 50-50 proposition i'd say.

the mids match-up will be critical, they have a clear advantage in the ruck, and we're both missing our key forwards.

i'm expecting a dour contest akin to the win over carlton / loss to north. could go either way.

Just digging through some old stuff whilst down in Melbourne and I came across some old signed footy cards including John Northey, Jim Stynes, Garry "dollars" Lyon, Greg "Sugar" Healy, Brett Lovett, O'Dwyer, Yeats, Obst, Spalding, Stetch, Viney, Dean, Jackson, Sean Wight, Hughes. 

That's cool don't want to sell them do ya?

Pies have gone small in forward line and pace will be a factor.

Nev will cover 'em all! No sweat.

We just have to win this game.

It feels like the most important game we've had since 2006.

 

Seems like every 2nd game this year has been our most important since .....add year here.

It's no more important than any other game this year (not including finals), we need to get wins on the board.

Simple.

As much as I hate the term, this is as 'season defining' as it gets for our club. For two reasons really:

Given that Essendon smashed Port yesterday, positions 5-13 are wide open with Richmond only one game ahead sitting fourth with a similar percentage to us. We'll be sitting equal 5th if we win tomorrow, one game out of the top 4. What an opportunity. This year's evenness is unheard of.

Secondly, this may well be the last game we play (touch wood) without one of Gawn or Hogan for the year. When those two come back, it'll be a huge morale booster for the entire club. We play the Dogs and Eagles next, both of whom are out of form but will be enormous challenges.

Tomorrow is simply a must win if we're serious about challenging this year. 

Make a [censored] statement Dees.

Go.

Can someone please remind this memory challenged old bastard what time the MND March to the MCG kicks off tomorrow morning. The numbers 10 and 30 are vaguely familiar, but I'd like to be certain. Thanks in advance.

Agree. We will be too fierce for them

Terrific article on the friendship and 'rivalry' between Garlett and his mentor, Betts.  http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-11/speedy-dee-bridging-the-gap-on-his-good-mate

Garlett has added so much to his game this year and has been huge for us and is very motivated: "I had a goal at the start of the year that I wanted to be in the top five in the AFL for creating forward half turnovers," he said.' As it is he is ranked second in the AFL for forward-half pressure points so is well on his way to achieving his goal.

He plays his 50th game in Demon colours tomorrow, so hope he and the rest of the team can really turn it on.

Well done Jeffy!  May their be many more tantalising and successful games in Red and Blue!

We were talking earlier in this thread about "footy speak" and how comments by coaches and players are so predictable.

Have a look at this interview with Dan Ricciardo.... (I think he barracks for the Eagles)

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/interviews/2017/6/daniel-ricciardo--p6-in-qualifying-a-good-recovery.html

Q: You always wear a smile – but lately we’ve seen that other drivers are more on the smiling side in press conferences. Is that because the new owners make the environment more relaxed?

DR: Yeah, they have supplied everyone with a good dose of marijuana and I just got it naturally in my system! (Laughs) But what I have always thought is that some seem to be bored – and probably not grateful enough to be here. Then I think to myself: go and do another job! Because I think for all of us it is a dream come true. Even on bad days! Maybe more drivers have started to understand that more now. 

The Pies only have one tall forward, Darcy Moore.  We are going in with Tom Mc, Oscar Mc and Sam Frost.

Will T Mac play forward?

Seems like he will spend time up forward or even roaming the whole ground depending on how our defence is holding up. He's got the fitness to play anywhere, if the defence can stand up he might be a decent option roaming through the wing/midfield as a lead up target.

He did all his work yesterday at training with the forwards so I'm assuming he will

So, he might get to spend lots of quality time with his old mates Dunn & Howe...!  LOL

Frost to play on Moore.

Who does Oscar go to?

Slightly concerning. 

Amazing they picked him really. I dont understand it. I mean they could have played wagner. I guess the coaching staff reckon he goes ok. What would they know. Surwly when a ruck comes back next week he'll be dropped

Monday is either going to be really sweet or particularly sour. I both hate and love  feeling this invested! Torture. But..truth is we ( and the team) are in that delicate place of finding out week by week just how good they really are.   Whatever the result they have been brave playing without a ruckman all this time and whichever way this goes getting Gawn and Hogan back is going to make a massive difference. 


I like Paul Roos idea of trying OMac up forward. He can take a mark and isn't a bad kick if he chooses his target properly.

I genuinely can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not..

  • 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.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
