If we beat Richmond I will?

Haven't seen one of these in a while, so I thought I'd throw one in for fun.

Whilst I'd admit that a victory against the Tigers would appear to be unlikely, stranger things have happened in sport.  Is it the mix of players we presently have in?  Is it confidence?  Is it system?  Fitness and work rate?  Or all and the above?

Watching the game last week, in the periods of the first half when we were still the game that we dominated general play, but I felt that we somewhat over used the ball across half forward by hand in an effort to create the perfect forward 50 entry and then subsequently fumbled or otherwise turned it over.  Well doucmented that when entering forward 50, we just couldn't take a mark or find a crumb.  Let's not even bother talking about defense.  However all these problems are fixable, we still have a great midfield and dominate the forward 50 entries for the most part and at some point the worm had got to turn doesn't it?

Anyway if we beat Richmond tonight, I'm having a beer or two in celebration and I'm hoping a few other Demonlanders might join me in that gesture.

 

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

    Part of me doesn’t even want to go tonight. Feels Like going to see your ex so she can explain more fully why she left.

    Fall into a false sense of optimism again.

    To counter this, after tonight’s game, regardless of result, I’m not going to another game this year unless we have won our previous 2 going into it.

    I’d say it would be time to crack open everyone on Demonland’s skulls and feast on the grey goo inside.

       Had to reply,  this is so close to the mark !    Don't really want to watch and TLOML  thinks I am stupid for doing so, but you have to !

     

    but I will go to church with my Mother in Law,  a big ask, but she and my wife will like it and my feet will not be on the ground.  

    GO  DEES !!!!!

    More like so she can kick you in the balls and spit in your face.

    Will hold on tight for the white-knuckle ride to see if we can claw together enough wins to still be relevant by mid-season, by which time we'll have Smith, Lever, Vandenberg, Hannan and hopefully May all back. 5 players I'd all want in right now purely on type and role, all of whom would be directly replacing a serious underperformer. Makes the second half of this season a whole different proposition.

    OR

    If we beat the Tigers tonight, I'd have to believe that we could beat the Hawks next week and the Suns the week after. And then we'd be 4-4 after round 8 and anything is possible again.

    Aye, the delusions are back, doctor.

    In a thread designed for some optimistic happiness, you've managed to find a pessimistic take regardless.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
