GAMEDAY: Rd 21 vs Collingwood

Recommended Posts

Mess up Pies top 4 chances? Screw that! If we win today they could miss the top 8! Now that would be funny. Port have 3 winnable games. Pies last two are tricky. 

From first place to 9th would be so sweet. Probably unlikely but let’s try!!

Just jumped on the AFL app to have a read of the game preview. 

‘17th Vs 6th’ – What a sick joke Melbourne. 

I’m addicted so I’ll still tune in but what a horrible horrible year.

I don’t see how we turn this around for next year unless we start showing good signs in these last few games this year, recruit and draft smartly and get some luck with injuries over summer. Easier said than done.

Still have a sneaky feeling we'll win today. 

Well the Pies are at their weakest all year. We have a few out like Tom, Weid, AVB, Hannan, Smith, Jetta but DeGoey, Cox, Beams,Wells, Aish, Moore, Stevenson, Reid, Dunn, Langdon, Sier etc is a big group missing.

A win today and a Tigers win over Carlton will obliterate any remaining Collingwood top 4 chances. I'd love to see that smug club bundled out first week.

Nice calculation.

We are faarrkked on the scoreboard, I'd reckon, but we can still play nasty against the Filth.

They kicked their highest score for the year or close to it last week, albiet against GC, so wont be no stroll in the park i guess. But we have a good defense and its a damp track, it wont be high scoring. What a great chance to stop them getting top 4 spot!

Payback time for when they stopped us getting into the 8...

The thing is if we lose people will say we can't even win against a 2nd rate pies side if we win people will say we beat a 2nd rate  pies side. 

The pies still have good players in, pendles, sidebottom and the ruck battle between grundy and gawn will be interesting.

Yep so sad. 

I wanted to go but this weather is horrid and I don’t want to sit in freezing temperatures and risk getting sick before I head off overseas. 

Honestly it doesn’t seem worth it and I feel guilty because I know how much these games mean to the club financially. But we have done nothing as a club this season to deserve blind support from our fans. 

Cold weather doesn’t make you sick, it’s catching the virus ie like catching MFCSS it’s usually caught by a “loved one”, maybe a parent. But they don’t really love you by passing MFCSS onto you. My dad gave it to me, I’ve given it to my soon to be 4 yr old (he asked for the Go Dees song to be played this morning and we had a great dance around the lounge) and now I’m trying to pass it on to Mr 1...

Get them to watch Hawks game from last night! A club that finds away to reinvent itself & find players who can follow the game plan. A club that doesn’t sit on past glories & could be  excused so as they won 3 flags in a row less than 5 years ago.

I'm stuck in an edit suite today locking picture on my current film, with my Collingwood-supporting editor. 

We're both sitting here with our scarves on and will be there in spirit.

This is the first game in Melbourne that I've missed since 2007, so let's see how I go today. We might find ourselves turning on the TV in the background.

Today should be revenge for Round 23 2017. Come on, redlegs.

Goodwin just confirmed Oscar McDonald is playing forward. 

Now let me eat my words Oscar!

That can be the only justification for playing him above Hore. Let’s hope Oscar has taken some nodoze today because more often than not he is fast asleep

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
