Robert Walls is tipping the Dees for the flag

Walls never supported or had any soft spot for us. He never rated us through the Daniher years. 

 

Ultimately we proved him correct

Anyone want to buy some grand final tickets?

Haha! I get your sentiment, but just back the boys in, you have no choice anyway!!

 

Damn, organised my wedding for September 29th! I went and paid top dollar for two great seats to the GF, so can anyone help me out? Her name is Julie and the wedding is at St Mary's at 2pm, good luck go dees!

Anything is possible but realistically I think we needed to finish top 4.

He also said eagles would be the wooden spooners this year. 

Happy to be there this year. As said,2019 will be the year and weeds will be the next big star. 

This year will take it as it comes, hopefully beat cats and after that it is a raffle.

Lets get past this week first. 

 

if we are serious as a team this "should" be a good solid win on Friday.. 30 points and then who knows. The odds of four on the trot are low given our performances in big games this year and our inability to stop run ons but I am relatively confident of a win on Friday night (one caveat... we need to nail the set shots).

 

Even if we don't win the prize this year, this heightened expectation and fugazi is good training for the upcoming dynasty.

It's about time that even Walls is recognising us as a legitimate chance for the Premiership and that means we have been playing good consistent footy all year.

We stand out and why not have them jump aboard. l love that as it makes me feel proud of how our boys have responded from missing the finals in 2017.

Win this week and we will have more admirers on the bandwagon.What a great sight that would be. We can all believe!  We can all dream.

During the home and away season - at critical times in critical onfield locations - across the season, the MFC were culled, drawn and quartered, emaciated onfield, prejudiced against, disrespected, devalued, violated and abused by the green snot goblins and the AFL itself by direction.

Prominent teams could do anything illegal without penalty against us.

Now that the scrutiny of finals is so very much more focussed, the 'powers that be for the gate receipt ascension of the game' can little afford to repeat these performances in their judiciary role.

In other words, it is less likely that umpires will even try to abominate the laws of the game for the advantage of any team playing against the MFC - or keeping MFC opponents in the game by nefarious decisions until the moment is ripe for taking the game from the MFC.

This more focussed finals culmination of the season and the lesser the likelihood of onfield interference (to which others and I have repeatedly referred) will provide a finals environment that is far more even and fair than what the MFC has had to tolerate all through 2027 and 2018.

This improvement has enabled many observers - of which Walls is but one - to be able to declare their expectations that the Dees are the team to beat throughout the finals series - and are red hot to take the flag where fairer play applications are involved.

Otherwise, where deliberate exercises in the 'advantages' of interfered games occur, these pundits of note would otherwise have to 'shut up' and not acknowledge what has gone prejudicially before (as far as the MFC is concerned, in so many games.) The pundits' interests in AFL dependencies might no longer apply and the truth, justice and evenness of our beloved game may come to fruition - alongside pundit support. For this, onyer Wallsy. 'Carna Demons!

This is bad. Walls is almost always wrong.

In which case, the law of averages says he’ll get this one right.

@Deemania since 56 quite an interesting post. In general I'd agree the finals ought to see a more balanced attention by the umps. I'd also expect the games to be allowed to flow even more the deeper into September it goes. Short of all in carnage finals get a different treatment.

Proverbially. I believe there was a baby involved.

Walls suggesting we have such a high ceiling has me floored.

Sure the window is open but we still have to open the door.


Well I always rated Robert Walls and I might be in a minority here but if he really didn't think we were a chance WHY would he risk his reputation on a Whim.

I know I have been tainted by Lots of False Dawns and Hope 

But if it works and we win this week??!! 

Sheeit the lid will be well and truly BLOWN!

Oh no, don't tell me Schwab/Neeld/Connolly/etc went and got rid of it! At a time when all other clubs put a huge premium on bathwater. That'd be right, etc.

Your intrepid correspondents reporting from the very far ‘top end’ (Sparta Greece) It is all in the lap of the gods. Team will hopefully take  inspiration from the locals when famously confronting the Persians pussycats at Thermopylae ‘G’. No problem with Robbie Walls  the oracle at Deelphi has cast his bones...

 

 

I honestly think we have the best team/list bar Richmond of the other contenders and are in good form, so are the Cats though so not ideal probably would have been better playing GWS week 1 haha.

Hawks - being propped up by old premiership heroes

Cats - as above

WCE - Once Kennedy declines its over, Gaff may leave also

GWS - they are leaving in their droves

Sydney - Always thereabouts but have to eventually fall and certainly not improving just sticking around with premiership heroes

Collingwood - Only other team you could make a case for being on the up - still Pendles, Sidebottom etc aren't getting any younger

Tigers - on the up and will be our main competitor for years to come I believe

I find Walls to be more miss than hit with his comments. Bit like my golf game!

  • 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.
