  • Melbourne folded like cheap furniture against FC. We should ■■■■■■■ smash them.
  • Gawn must be rolling on the floor laughing at Bellchambers today.
  • Phillips needs to come in to provide more of a contest around the ground for Gawn.
  • I’d consider two rucks against Gawn.
  • May and Lever were apparently alright against Carlton. What do we do there? If we roll with the same forwards and play keep kicking it in long and high those two will eat us for breakfast.
  • Phillips gets a look in as already mentioned, TBC needs a hand against Gawn who is a match winner.
  • Who plays on Petracca? He’s in career best form and I reckon if we stop him having an impact we should win.
  • He’s (Tracktor) a worry, one of the best players in the league atm on form. If he gets a worry let him go head to head with STRINGAR.
  • Bringing in Ambrose is a must. He can play either on Tom McDonald or on Petracca.
  • Concede the ruck, we need someone to go with gawn around the ground.
  • The ruck - Oh dear we are in trouble against Gawn no matter what.
  • Just make sure we nail these flogs and silence the media’s love affair with Petracca.
  • Gawn will have 90 hitouts with 80 to a direct target.
  • Gawn will tear Bellchambers two new ones without breaking a sweat.
  • Who’s a better matchup for Petracca: Conor or Ambrose?
  • We probably need to put extra time into Petracca and Oliver. None of our mids appear to be big enough to stand up to those players and they will get silver service from Gawn.
  • The biggest problem is the ruck. Gawn is going to be a massive problem, not just in the hitouts but around the ground.
  • Basically our best 22 is available bar Joe this week
  • Petracca are not in Fyfe’s league
  • Matchups:
  • Petracca vs Heppell could be interesting or Ambrose comes in.
  • Oliver vs Parish
  • Salem vs Fantasia
  • Brayshaw vs McGrath
  • Viney vs Shiel
  • May vs McKernan

A not so subtle attempt to inject their main sponsor into the discussion ? 

He’s (Tracktor) a worry, one of the best players in the league atm on form. If he gets a worry let him go head to head with STRINGAR.

There's a lot going on in this sentence. Isn't Stringer playing forward?

Wow they really don't like Bellchambers, do they.

Preuss for Daniher?

Id love it if they tried to put Parish on Oliver. He'd run amok.

I think they're worried about Gawn, and Petracca.?

Rubbishing a player from your team, outrageous, you would never get that on Demonland

I have feeling Oliver could have a day out against Essendon, this isn't based on anything in particular but Oliver has proven he hasn't lost his ability to find the ball.

Petracca is turning heads now, which means the tag will comes. Instead of dragging the tagger away from the ball and playing Trac in the forward line I'd like to see him say to Goodwin, "leave them to me" and back himself to beat the tag.

He needs to be tested.   To grow.

I thought the same. I think we look good in match ups, surprisingly so.

Anthony William Watson McDonald-Tipungwuti - Is he playing, he's the only bloke on Essendons' list who I think can torch us. Last I heard he is injured?

And there's your answer if you've ever been curious as to what the plural of Petracca is. Still not clear however if intended as plurale tantum or an irregular plural though. Anyone know if Trac has a brother on our list? Maybe an easy mistake: I'm pretty confident that we have the most ever brothers on our list with brothers by number playing in the AFL.

Doesnt matter Skuit.

As has already been pointed out, neither of them are in Fyfes league.

But as a combination they might be. 

Wagner are not in Fyfe's league.

they're obsessed with gawn's ruck dominance, but i reckon this one could be a key part of actual bomberland thinking; gawn's aerobic capacity is the biggest thing they need to contend, as his ability to push back when the oppo ruck is stranded in the middle of the ground is a huge part of his arsenal

please let oliver go head-to-head with parish

it'll be interesting to see who heppell goes to as along with smith he's definitely the most defensively-minded of their mid rotations; viney v shiel could be a fun watch too

their forwards are my biggest concern - walla, fantasia, townsend, stringer with mckernahan as the get out is a zippy and mobile forward line plus smith and parish rotating thru there...i just don't know about our match-ups for them...

they only started really bombing it into their f50 in the last quarter i thought; we started doing it - when we could get our hands on the ball - midway thru the second

it could be a good game or an absolute horror show

Gawn dominated the ruck last week too and it didn't help us much once Carlton learnt to read his taps.

I must admit I have become a bit of an opposition forum lurker from time to time, I find it really interesting to hear what people think of the Dees from the opposition supporter perspective.  And to think I used to be young and cool!

Surprisingly the bombers fans on the forums are some of the least arrogant and most pragmatic of the bunch.  At least in my experience from the last couple of seasons.  Last week 98% of Carlton supporters thought they were going to [censored] us, 1% thought they would beat us is a close one and 1% thought they'd lose, which was surprising for a team that hadn't really shown much.

Anyway, as has been alluded to, Their Bellchambers is our Oscar McDonald.  Getting a pasting over there.  I can't remember him being great but I can't remember him being awful either??

Yes but which of the Fyfes? Or do the other Fyfes play in the WAFL? That would explain it.

 

I'm surprised they're not more confident. They killed us with run on the G last year and I can see the same thing happening again.

Agreed, they're usually a pretty arrogant bunch at the best of times. Their midfield is certainly smaller but it's much quicker than ours. Hoping the additions of Langdon and Tomlinson will help balance this out.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
