Looking forward to this - Dees!

Match Committee meets today so assume team announcement is this evening.

Not expecting a lot from this game.  I will settle for an honourable loss where we run both ways and are NOT 'easy to score against'. 

Hope they fight it out to the end particularly in view of the ANZAC occassion of this game.

Lest we forget 2019

Lockhart and Garlett better come in.   We are slow, boring and one dimensional and need to find a spark from somewhere.

This match will be the final nail in the coffin for our 2019 season. I expect Richmond to win not because they are any good, but because we are rubbish.

The coaching staff have [censored] up this year. They’ve failed to adapt to the rule changes and gamestyle changes of the modern game. They have a talented list that they cannot get to perform. There’s not way we’re a bottom 2-3 team. We’re not playing finals this year, but I expect the coaches to be able to turn our form around for a good chunk of the season at least.

I want to see Garlett in. He’s the highest scoring goal kicker on our list and would provide a spark, even if he’s inconsistent. We lack speed and legitimate goal scoring options, and he’s both. Get him in.

I am seriously in two minds about dragging myself out on Wednesday night. This is usually my favourite match of the season but there is only so much a supporter can take. I am still flat after Saturday nights loss so I am not sure I can put myself through that again in one week.

Think I will decide on the night.

Have we hit rock bottom yet?

Unfortunately, we all have expectations that they can achieve so much more.  When will they start to deliver on that promise?  This week?  Next?  After the bye?  2020?

The club cannot say anything new that will encourage me.  I want to see actions.  What have you got?

 

The way teams have sliced us open this year on the rebound is frightening and I worry this will lead to at least a 10 goal loss of the Tigs bring there pressure.

Lynch/Riewoldt would be picking there lips for Wednesday night. Not sure how we will stop them from kicking a bag against us.

 

This is usually my favorite home and away game to attend each year. But I’m probably not going this year. Our poor performance mixed with the rubbish quality of games at present, combined with the trains being offline still makes this a very hard sell to drag myself to.

Footy is off my brain for a few weeks, as from today. I'd rather play golf at the moment and enjoy life. The MFC, not the players, have yet again fumbled around in the dark to very poor effect. We even have Pert as the boss. My goodness; poor coaching to match worsening selection options to match catastrophic decisions and outcomes. 

Let’s try our hardest to stay positive until quarter time at least. Put your coaches hats on and discuss how we can win. 

Bring in some fresh legs for starters, I’ve read suggestions we should go man on man. Can we sustain that for 4 quarters? Toiges have a plethora of zippy small forwards that’s why Hunt goes back for me especially if Jeffy comes in. He was good on Motlop  Round 1. At least he has the speed to keep up and make it harder for them. 

Weid and T Mac need to clunk a few early and get some confidence providing our delivery is much improved. 

Max and Nank should have an interesting battle. The Nank likes to push forward and is capable of kicking at least a couple. 

If they are to beat us at least make them earn their goals for the entirety.

Amen to that, DZ.  

I actually wonder how many changes we will make - to me, it is the first time I've seen Goody look pretty angry about the result and the efforts of our players, so it wouldn't surprise me to see 3-4 changes at least for this game. 

You would think the forward half needs the most work, and is probably the area we can change the most.  Jeffy, Keilty and Lockhart are probably three we might look at bringing in.  Tom Mac might miss this one with an 'injury', while others like Spargo and Corey Wagner may miss out.  Stretch is another one who might come in as well.  I think Garlett and Lockhart can bring some real pressure, and we know that Jeffy is able to hit the scoreboard.  I mean, what do we have to lose at this point?

If Riewoldt plays then possibly Oscar has to come back in to play down there as we can't afford to just go with Frost.  Josh Wagner might be the one to go there.  Going by that, the changes may be:

In:  Oscar Mac, Garlett, Stretch, Keilty

Out:  Tom Mac, C Wagner, J Wagner, Spargo

I know I mentioned Lockhart might get a look in above, but I can't seem to find room for him, and Garlett is a better option.

Also, is Steven May possibly ready for this one?  Or does he need more time?

I'm backing us in to have a better crack at it on Wednesday night, but not sure we have the confidence to do it for long enough to win the game.

I'd like to see the Fwd line spread more from the set-up (rather than bunching and all getting to the same spots), spread the Tall targets out more.

FF -   Garlett     Preuss    Petracca

 

HF -  TMac      Melksham    Weid  

 

Playing Tmac and Weid up higher and wider with Melk circling and our mids hitting the contests, and Preuss deeper with Garlett roving and Petracca lurking or providing a second lead

 

I like the mid week game as it doesn’t ruin the weekend when we lose and play like headless chooks. 

It will be a good weekend!

I can't bring myself 2 go I will vomit when I cough  up the dosh 2 watch us play like crud. I would rather bash my head against a brick wall. To think I was thinking about a membership upgrade 2 my m/ship so get a guaranteed ticket if we had ' ve made the Gf.

Play the kids 

I reckon you might be right on Tom Mac.  Wouldn't surprise me to see him out of the side.

Jones will stay, as I think there are plenty of others to drop first, and I hope they stick Lewis on a back flank where he belongs.

And play them out of position as well?  I don't have any better opinion Moonie, and I'm no team selector, but this just sounds a bit like a Chris Connolly tactic to me.

Maybe its desperate times.

We came out a few times last year after some bad losses and did really well. After a big win are the tigres vunerable? Did they use all their petrol tickets on the weekend?? Lets stay positive till halftime!

I thought we were playing the kids? You mean thats our real team??

So last year we were in a prelim final and by round 6 the following year the best I can hope for is effort.

 

It’s time for new blood, and a few positional changes. We have nothing to lose, and may as well try to be innovative.

FB: Hibberd - Frost - Hore

HB: Salem - T.Mac - ANB

C : Fritsch - Viney - Harmes

HF: Melksham - Weid - Hunt

FF: Keilty - Preuss - Garlett

R: Gawn - Oliver - Brayshaw 

I: Trac - J.Wagner - Lewis - Jones

E: C.Wagner - Lockhart

  • 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

    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.
