No nerves today cos I have zero expectations; they are the second best side in the competition and we are the third worst 

Just hoping we look better and play to 2018 level...

...just can’t see it happening for us today

Bring on a few draught beers, a look at Lever 'n May, maybe a donut or two - life's good.

    Petracca’s statistically had his worst six weeks since his first six games for the club four years ago. He’s averaging just 70 SuperCoach points and has kicked a paltry 10 goals from 11 games as a permanent forward line player. Those are horrible returns. 

    It’s amazing how divorced from reality our supporters (and the media) can be when it comes to this player. He’s either a chronic underperformer or simply not that good. I think it’s probably somewhere in between. 

    The similarities with Colin Sylvia’s career path are eerily similar.

    No matter what the stats say, I believe that his inside bullocking that creates opportunities for others goes largely unnoticed on this site.

    Any one know if final sides have been announced?

     


    I like Smith. Wonder what mystery injury he has. Not sure we need Wagner as for once we have a decent backline! Perhaps Hibbo and/or Salem play midfield which I don’t mind at all. 

     

    Ive put $5 on a draw.

    With Wagner coming in surely that means Bayley Fritsch plays forward.

    I miss Melksham.

    Tim out for Josh. 

    So just the 5 defenders coming in then???

    I reckon a massive game looms for Petracca. Has been good for the last 6 weeks and if it were not for some poor finishing would have some big hauls. I can see him kicking 4-5 goals with some dominant stints on ball. He will relish the big crowd at the G. 

    Dodgy in front of goals.  Goody could insert into a semi permanent almost full time role in the mid field but chooses not to.

    I cant believe how many people forgive and accept Petracca's faults. He is uncoachable. He cannot concentrate. He NEVER comes through when the going is tough,although trying hard, he is stupid and trying to do too much. He falls immediately to old bad habits.

    He isn't as bad as that sorry.  Not having a great year but has a fair amount of company.  See T-mac, Viney and Spargo just to name a few.

    I actually feel like Demonland, and the supporters, go pretty hard on him. I also think you’re going too hard on him...

    A little but he has regressed this season  WISE.  Some scrutiny is bound to follow.

    Our entire forward line has barely fired a shot all year, what are you going to do drop everyone?

    That is a very good question Sisso.

    There are a few options available but goody has chosen to ignore them so far.

    Problem with that is that no one that we could choose from would be a better option for his role. I’ve been ok with Tracs year so far in a forgettable season for all except Maxy Gawn. 

    I agree to a point at least from a Casey perspective.  However, if Goody was / is being realistic now that the season is over, it is now time to trial Tracc in a role which leans more towards full time through the mid field IMO.  Takes pressure off his kicking inside 50 but allows him to swing away at the big stuff around the arc where he has nothing to lose and just let's it rip without over thinking things.

    Time for chunk to replace Tracc at HF in an Ablett type role (with some minor time through mid field when Tracc is taking a breather on the bench or when resting forward).

    Break out game for Trac is here. Get ready.

    30 touches, 2goals 5 behinds

    we lose by 3 points.

    Smith has to be the unluckiest/most injury prone footballer that has ever lived. 

    You can say that again which is another good reason why Pruess should be getting more game time.  At least he might string a series of games together and start gelling with the other forwards.

    Smith confirmed out with a flu. Wonder if the club knew yesterday they would have been better off pulling Pruess out of the VFL game.

    Thanks @dazzledavey36. Can Wagner play forward? Or is it going to be a re-shuffle that puts Salem / Fritch forward?

    What's the fascination with Preuss @dazzledavey36?  Surely he would be selected if they felt he could contribute for the entire game, so if they're not selecting him, I would assume they know that he can't?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
