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

Wow... Goody has been reading DL for his next coaching move.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’
