Changes v Round 18 game

outs. Garlett   j Smith   Vince.  Jkh. Hogan

ins. Viney. Hannan. Vdberg. Weideman. Hibberd

 

Interesting.... a lot of toughness coming in: Viney, VDB, Hibberd.   we are better placed line up wise.

add to that it is played at the G, we should win.

please win.  

JKH very unlucky. Has been getting better each game to silence the nuffies. I would’ve kept him ahead of Spargo who by his own admission is basically just running on adrenalin. But it should hopefully not come down to our 22nd man. 

Can’t wait for tomorrow night. Puuumped.


I just watched the last quarter vs the Eagles and Dean Kent’s goal about 3 times. Goosebumps. Come on Dees!

I did the same about an hour ago. Kent’s goal is such a moment in time. I wish I could take tomorrow off and just watch the last two games about 2 times through.

2 good ins really looking forward to the game GO THE MIGHT DEES!

Where are these stats from? What is this predictor? 

I run a composite series of weighted average stats through a spreadsheet bandi for both teams.  Stats are compiled from their last round performance on every player who played (courtesy of Footywire).  I adust where I can for ins and outs wherever possible for the forthcoming round's match up.

Each individual player has his own composite weighted average score from the previous week assuming he remains in the squad for the current round.  In the case of MFC "Ins" they have a season average weighted score which is a fairly accurate reflection of how they are likely to fair if being called up to replace an omission from the previous week (whether because of form or injury).

I then compose the total score from the previous week for the entire team using exactly the same method for each player/ team to give a total team weighted score, which then indicates/predicts the likely winner / loser.

Apart from the inputs and weightings the result is entirely objective with an 83% predictive accuracy so far in MFC games since Rnd 11.

Hope that makes a lil sense

Ssooooo you’re saying we’re a chance?!


Hopefully the team who played WCE and GWS show up, and not the team who played Sydney. 

Really hope we have left the whole ‘go to [censored] on the big and important stage’ in the past, and this new breed of demons can stand up when it matters. 

Nic article about Nev Jetta making his finals debut... only, that’s not Neville Jetta.

how many goals will Tyson Turnovers Total?

NO NEGATIVITY TONIGHT.... It's finals baby, and if there is one thing Geelong are bad at, it's clearances. Love that we are exploiting that. Tyson is a very good clearance player and has been much better since playing as an inside mid. As long as he isn't throw on the wing again with Viney's return, he will play well.


A somewhat small thing - we need to be switched on to their 'tricks'. 

In the last game, I have little doubt the Dangerfield ruck nomination then staging for a free by pushing Brayshaw forward was determined before the game, to be played out for a ball up within 20m of their goal.  There is a reason no other Geelong player nominated for the ruck and why J Selwood clapped the free kick - it was a total ambush.  Cost us the game. 

Doesn't matter now as there is no other team I would rather play - I want payback for 186, for 111pt loss rnd 23 2016, for their two lucky wins this year, for their cheating, free kick staging players.  I could go on but you get the drift. 

A win by just a point will do! 

Except my anxiety will be through the roof if the game is that close...

So in our forward line Spargo nominates? Why not?

I think we'd look better with an extra defender in the team, probably Joel Smith, but this is still a decent side that has no excuses for not performing well.

Great to see Tyson get up this week - his form has been good and we need midfield depth to beat Geelong. In fact I think a tired midfield is the main reason we fell away in the last quarter in round 18. Geelong were running about ten guys through the middle against our 5 or 6.

I have tkts for sale as I have been invited to a box.   Happy to sell for cost price or even less for my fellow demomlanders. 

They are great seats level 1 Olympic stand 8 seats ($93 each) and Great Southern stand 5 seats ($82 each). 

Just pm me if you’re interested

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
