                                   Pure Stats (no umpire Bias) - The Demons by 18 points

 

 

I’m very excited about today. Love watching footy at the G.

As promised in last weeks thread I will be happily slotting my $100 into the Salvos tin. 

Dees by 28 ❤️?

Lets hope its a happier outcome than last years final game. Yes i know we have already made finals but a win today  would just feel so great. 

Plus then we can say we have beaten 2 top 8 teams. Collingwood cant say that

 

Although it is nice to be heading to a game with finals secured, the ramifications of this game are massive for our group. I'm sure we'd want to have another crack at Geelong at the G week 1 instead of travelling to Spotless.

Geelong is top-heavy with a vulnerable inexperienced underbelly. GWS will use the bye as an opportunity to bring in experienced top-end talent Greene, Deledio, and Zac Williams. Not to mention being bolstered in confidence after defeating us two weeks prior. 

Goodwin's mantra has always been the side in the best form at the end of the year gives themselves the best chance, I hope we hit an undermanned GWS hard and take winning form into the finals.

Alright pretty excited about today! Pressure valve released and now we know what we are capable of. Don’t want to get too stressed out about it but it would be very good to win.

Anyone else doing the members walk around the boundary? 

I’m afraid not. I’m 3 games short! Enjoy it though should be great!

Last year against Brissy we had to wait for ages and eventually did it like 10 minutes before the bounce! Hope it’s a bit more organised this time.

Well done Jane! Love your work :) 

GO THE MIGHTY DEES TODAY! 

I can tell you what, today is an important day to win. A home final for our return to finals after 12 years would set the G alight.

I would prefer to win today so that we can kick geelong out of the finals, having gone down to them twice by a couple of points I would hope we would be primed for such a contest. I also like the idea that most of the finalists may not see us as a low threat because we have only beaten one side in the top 8.  Thats fine with me, now is the time that counts we know we can mix it with the best. just need to finish it off better. now is great time of the year to do so.

I'm a late out, so will be part of the TV audience.

I have a feeling. It started in my nethers ( a sure sign of veracity) and is evolving. Because I can't be there, I reckon Melbourne will have a mighty win today. 

This momentum will then carry us into a glorious victory in the Elim final.

I will have to rejig the nethers before subsequent predictions.

Correct me if I’m wrong but if we lose today we play GWS again, not Sydney.

You are correct Beetle

Is your 'nethers system' like Oscar the World Cup football tipping octopus? Whichever direction they are pointing at or moving towards dictates your pick?

Good question Col. It will require rigorous self examination.

I'll get back to you.

And they’d be lucky to get 10K to it.

Plenty of free over the counter tickets given away at McDonalds for the locals to fatten up the crowd.

Its the same with the NRL.  When i lived in Sydney people would come into the pub and dump  a whole bunch of free rugby tickets to the 'big NRL night game"  Never saw anyone take any of the free tickets. They ended up beer sodden and tossed in the bin by the barman.Most people who go to NRL dont pay. Same as last years woeful GF. Dumping free NRL tickets at McDonalds wouldnt surprise me.

What does surprise me is Pedersen missing out today. Surely he should be on the i/c bench.

Jane, you seem to have too much cash. 

You can give some to me if you like. I'm a bit skint at the moment and the Salvos are doing well.

between your nether regions and my waters, uncle, i see a decisive victory

but just to be sure i shall slaughter a pig offering before i take off for the game

I hope that if Davis plays that at every chance we are clattering into his hip/back and every marking contest a knee is placed firmly into it.

He and Ward are the barometer of that side.


Off to the G... first game after a motorcycle accident put me on my backside.. hoping the pain is worth it today- go Dees!!

Scatter some chook entrails to absolutely certain dc

What did you have to do to qualify for the boundary walk?  I have been to every home game bar one, when I was o/s.

If we can get through today with a good performance and no injuries then I'll be a happy man! 

Just a good performance...not a win ? curious

Only a win will suffice today.

No mucking around now..TISM

Final teams haven’t been announced yet have they? Was just told at the ground that Hannan is a late out for JKH.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
