Well at least tonight we wont have the constant momentum killer in ANB butchering the absolute basics of the game.... I don't know what to expect tonight after "circling up"- One things for sure Sydney have been pretty bad at home the last two seasons... They haven't looked great this year either, hell if we were blessed with playing the blues in the first 3 rounds we too would have a win on the board... I'll say we will win, but with zero confidence at all. 

 

We might. He's an emergency and there's a doubt about T Mac playing. Could ANB be the one who comes in as a late change? One thing's for sure, if that happens, be ready for some apoplexy on Demonland. 

For what it's worth, given the other emergencies are Spargo, Hore and Petty, I would have thought ANB would be the logical replacement for T Mac because it replaces like-for-like in running capability. I can't see how any of the other emergencies make sense as a replacement for T Mac. Not sure ANB makes a lot of sense, either, but at least having a player with the a tank to run hard all game would be maintained.

Honestly would rather play with 21.... 

 

Really cant see TMac playing the way he was limping the next day after last week. Very short turnaround.

Spargo could be better 

Spargo for mine, key forwards Preuss and Weideman, at least Spargo will have a crack.

I expect that we will play Sydney into form 

Yeah, they need a bit of a hand..

 

I honestly think we have a chance tonight. Swans coming off a slightly lesser break plus their older guys likes of Buddy, Kennedy and Reid will struggle to come up. In addition their ins are a 1st gamer and Jack who is slower than Jones! I am hoping this is so.

Speaking of Kennedy, we need to take a line from his Grand Father and JUST DO IT.

I have three tickets to the game tonight spare after a family illness.

They are located in Section 3 of the O'Reilly Stand, Row X, Seats 54, 55, 56. We will be sitting in Seats 52 and 53.

This is a great location at the SCG to watch football.

If anyone wants them at half price ($35) then please send me a direct message today and we can arrange to meet at Gate F tonight or I can send them to your mobile number.

best wishes

Nice gesture

I hope they get well soon and Dees get up and get the job done for them (and me)

Spargo is fairly good with the ball in congestion, a quick mind,  he can find targets inside F50, with his vision.

I think a Demon side with Stretch, Spargo and Lockhart in it,  is getting closer to better balance.

Judging by the post on the MFC facebook page Tmac will play....

Great,as long as he isnt restricted like he clearly was last week.   Hes an option to play on Buddy too.  Maybe Frost starts on him and t Mac can move there if Buddy starts to dominate.

The closer we get to game time the more confident I am of winning.  ?

I'd love to see a statistic like: fumbles to an opposition player.

Seems like he constantly fails to grasp the ball in contests, and when he does it he inevitably knocks it to an opposing player who bursts away from the stoppage.

His absence will do wonders in my view.

Doesn't surprise me.

Most players get up the following week with non-serious ankle injuries


Which one of Oscar or Frost will be given the task of gifting Buddy 8 of the most basic skill error goals tonight?

Watch Buddy & Reid kick 10 between them and Kennedy get 35.

Onfield, we have some lines that are very near being the best in the whole League. Have we lost this match against the Swans before we even step onto the ground?

Yes.

I will be amazed if the Swans don’t go rampant tonight on their home deck. 

Essendrug are a shiit team and they kicked 8 unanswered last week, after we had taken the lead, thinking the job was done. 

How many times have i witnessed that over many years

The Circle ️ of truth will not be enough when the coach persists with a gameplan that has been punctured and picked apart.

And lay zero tackles again? The sooner Garlett returns the better.


Expecting Sydney to win by about 20 points. Only 20 points as they have trouble scoring in general, just not as much trouble as us!

Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

Hore to replace him.

Grateful that it is Hore not ANB to replace Jetts

Marvee ?

 

I take it most of the posters on here,  who have made disparaging or derogatory remarks about the team and individual players,  wont we watching or attending the game? I mean what's the point

  • 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?
