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.

    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.

    We’ll come out strong and keep them at arms length for the entire night.

    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 ).

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
