GAMEDAY - Round 10

[Josh 1,420]

Here we go.

If we had of set a bench mark for our last 4 weeks I think 75 goals, 14 quarters won in a row and 3rd on the ladder would have been about the best we could hope for.

To those who say we played easy teams, tell that to Hawthorn and Geelong last week.

These next 3 games are vitally important, and I for one have a good feeling.

Dees by 35 points, McDonald BOG (hedging my bets a little bit there is two of them ?)

[Ethan Tremblay 30,856]

Our run of big scores will continue, Dees by 65 points. Oliver with a cheeky 36 disposals and a goal. 

[Bitter but optimistic 22,239]

I'm with Ethan and Josh - bitterly confident.

Big game - big win followed by a disgusting celebration at Romsey Manor!

 

[brendan 3,437]

I will miss the game today, it’s on right when I need to have a sleep before I head off and do 12 hours night shift, got it booked to record so hoping to wake up to a big win and I can catch the replay tomorrow 

[What 18,810]

Not to get ahead but with a Demon win and a Hawks win over the Eagles, we would be 1 game from top spot.

[Deeoldfart 8,030]

I'll happily settle on a win of any proportions, but I have a very pleasant game-day feeling that we will have won 18 quarters on the trot by the end of the round.  That's not 100% unreasonable, is it?

[JV7 2,351]

Think we will get the job done. Huge game to keep in touch with the top 4 & cement inside the 8. Biggest game this clubs played in for many years, free to air & many eyes watching. Time to show we are the real deal.

[buck_nekkid 5,858]

So I have a kiddie matinee show thingo I have to attend,  and if I get caught on the phone by Mrs Naked I’m dead meat.  So I will be blind to probably the first half at least, unless I can a few dunny runs.

Adelaide play a tough contested brand of ball.  We have to serve it straight back.  Max will dominate Jacobs, their midfield will ruck to him.  Need to win the midfield, and shut down their HB run.  And keep Eddie quiet.

1 goal per quarter better, plus a late surge sees us home by 35 points.

I will watch the replay later.

Absolutely.  Adelaide even with a bunch of guns out are a very good team.

A 1 win point will be just fine thanks.

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Along with the video on the MFC website sounds like good things are happening with our Central Australian Academy and the Red Tails side. 

On both a travel and footy fronts it would be good if we could keep the Alice Springs game but ditch the Darwin game.

[DeeZee 7,392]

Feels like today’s game is a defining moment for us.

Only one game I know, but.......

Win and we are free to dream the dream.

I have a feeling we'll lose by 8 goals sorry

I'll begrudingly support a 0.0.3 to 0.0.2 win so we keep our percentage going up.

my heart couldnt take it

[John Crow Batty 8,863]

I have to attend my mother in laws birthday gathering this afternoon....oh what fun!  Can’t decide if this is a line in the sand, seizing the moment, stamping our authority or no turning back game. This is also the first of 3 payback games owing to atone for last seasons round 23 debacle.

I was more confident early in the week but I have a feeling the game will be a repeat of our last match against them in the top end. Even with 5 big outs I think they will be too strong for us. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Huge game for us, can’t wait

[Emerald 1,744]

The Hawks and Tigers games are still fresh enough in my memory to be too confident about this one. But if we do win then I will believe we are the real deal.

Today is the day, Go Dees!!!

[CityDee 738]

If we cant win with the out’s they have we really  are not putting our best foot forward.

the ladder will be tight 4 points today yes please.

Yes they were real easy, everyone points out how we have not beaten anyone good, pointing to the big lose against hawthorn, but 2 of our wins those teams smashed hawthorn. Hawks were really smashed by Brisbane that was  embarrassing, just  imagine if Brisbane beat us by 10 goals, everyone would be asking for Goodwin's head, and writing up that we are doomed. The Hawks will lose this weekend by 10 goals.

[Stevienic23 1,183]

Please Melbourne having been up all night watching Liverpool I really need this!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,823]

If we win, all will be fotgiven and forgottern, but really not a fan of these late Sunday afternoon game timeslots.

Oh for the days of five or six games on a Saturday afternoon.

[BAMF 4,351]

Thoughts.

• We were playing with a large number of players out of form at the start of the year and were doing ok.
• Hawthorn game showed that we were out of form and gave us a reality check
• We were mentally under the pump in the Richmond game with the aftermath of the Hawks game and were not on our game
• 4 games against easy opponents, but we now have a number of players who are back in form.
• This one is ours for the taking. They have a large number of players out and we are in red hot form. Lets do this!
