We haven’t beat the Swans since Dean Bailey was our coach. He’s been dead for four years.

With the side in poor form, and knowing how the Swans own us, i have zero confidence about tomorrow’s match.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

     

     

     

    Adam was playing full back for Tel-Aviv.

    TMac Stretch Hore and Spargo are on the plane.

    No Preuss

    If this is the case, Preuss will have decided that he joined the wrong club given all the pre-season hype about him forming a partnership with Max. He will be disappointed and frustrated.

    If ANB is in the team I will not watch this game. 

    Where you really thinking of watching the game?

    Go for a romantic candlelight dinner, nice music in the background, a very nice red (don't go for value forget the price), TV or mobile not close by. And don't check the result until next day.

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, itr decision making by the coaching staff.

    It is called desperation!

    Would not be surprised if this is our biggest loss for the year. I honestly think we will be slaughtered.

    Next week the turnaround begins and we start to rebuild confidence in the game plan and each other (players i mean)

    Cant bring myself to watch this game live, thats how little faith i have in the team right now.

    I'm weirdly confident this will be the week we turn things around.

    I'm sure it's completely misplaced. I just don't see how we can play much worse than we have been to date.

    If we can continue on with some consistency then I'm expecting Franklin to kick 12 on Frost, and Oscar to find himself manning someone like Papley who will kick 6 on him by running circles around him.

    Can't wait, should be a corker.

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    Agree ( so far ).

    There is almost zero chance of ANB being dropped so don't get your hopes up guys.

    if you are confused as to why - have a look at the Casey game on the weekend

    Excellent point. The lack of depth amplifies why the outlook is so grim. ANB know he will get picked. Selection pressure is a critical factor in keeping players honest. ANB would definitely be dropped if there was an alternative.

    The first game i will watch this week without any distractions or commitments.

    Dees by 27pts.

    Spargo spotted (alongside Stretch) in the airport this morning. Possibly a quick return post-injury, or at least named as an emergency.

    I used to say that back in the Neeld days and look how that turned out.

    @dazzledavey36   what you gonna do if ANB isnt dropped tonight?     Lets see if your dream finally comes true.

    Surely he wont be named @Petraccattack.. i cannot physically or mentally see how the [censored] he can justify his place in the team.

    Can't believe Jeff was not on the plane! 

    He is the only one with a bit of x factor and knows where the goals are.  His defensive skills can't be any worse than anyone else in the team.

    He was out injured for just a few weeks so how many games at Casey does he need?  Instead we take an undersized, underdeveloped kid who was dropped after one game and recovering from a broken jaw.

    Just don't understand our selection criteria anymore.

    Fear his card has been stamped.

    This was the case last year.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
