We could be playing our Casey team tonight and I'd still tip the Demons.

17 points.

I hate to be a smartarse Steve, but if the Dees were playing Casey, then of course the Demons would win.

Demons by 25. This game could make or break some of our fringe players. 

Tonight they get a chance to perform. 

It is now or never.

If Hunt is out as well I think we ARE playing our Casey team McQueen! :)

I'm still backing us, I'm backing our system. It's been a long time coming but I am starting to believe!

What a great challenge tonight is. We are missing 5 of our guaranteed best, perhaps 6.

I really want to see the same effort, intensity and belief in our system we got last week. The result will come from there.

I think we will win, and win quite well. Sportsbet has them slight favorites, with a 2.5 point start. With no money in the the pool i would set the line at Melbourne plus 10, so i think the line is great value from a betting perspective as is the straight out win.

My reasoning is that, even with the injuries and six day break we are a better side. Yes their form of late has been good, but so has ours and we have won two more games than them and have a better percentage.

They will need to score 100 plus points to beat us and i don't think they will. They will match us in the intensity stakes, but will have to and i think we will have too much pace (i just wanted to say that - a dees side with too much pace!)

But i think our key strength will be our midfield. Max ea terrific last week but will be better this week.

To be honest if we are on early i could see us giving them a touch up so will be having a little on the over 40 bet at $7.50.

Trac, Hannan and Bugg for most goals. Trac built for this stage, Hannan is will bob up for at least a couple and i have a sneaky feeling Bugg might play a blinder.

Go dees

Our Outs are more significant than their Inns.

Not sure we have the arsenal tonight!

GO DEES!

What about the sportsmans bar Soi 13?

Sydney dont scare me, they are an average team and were lucky to get out of jail last week against Essendrug on their home turf.

What does bother me are all the stars we have out combined with playing 4 games in 18 days, a result of the tail end of three 6 day breaks.

Does anybody go anywhere before the game for a drink?

 

Try Swan Street Richmond.

About 78 establishments close to each other, and only a 10 minute walk from the cathedral itself.

We shouldn't underestimate Sydney's scoring ability - they have had the yips lately. 

Last 3 weeks they have kicked: 12.16. 88, 10.11.71, and 11.20.86. 

We are the opposite and have nailed the goals for last 3 games: 15.14.104, 17.11.113, and 15.9.96

They certainly get a lot of chances at goal and had a number of scoring shots more than us.  If Buddy and a few others find their compass we are in trouble.

As much as I love Tom Mc's five goal haul last week it would be a big ask for him to do it again.  The key for us will be Petracca.  If the Swans don't stop him he is our best chance of kicking a winning score.

They won't beat us with a score like that. We have barely kicked under 90 points this year.

Fox Footy had the Round 1 2011 clash between Melb & the Swans.  Swannies led most of the game, until Brad Green put through an absolutely spectacular goal to put us in front with a few minutes to go.  Alas, the Swannies managed to kick a point right near the end to end the game in a draw!

Trenners played well, and it was Luke Tapscott's first game.  He also played well, and they were talking him up as a real find for Melb, and a 10 yr player.  Alas, was not to be.

Anyway, back to 2017.  Big game.  Let's see the Mighty Dees bring it home in front of a big Friday Night crowd at the "G"...!!

Saw that a hot day but a false dawn

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
