How does the "If we lose to the Suns I will..." thread have more post than this thread?

    Looking at the ground last night it looks like an absolute cows paddock.

    Fingers cross for no injuries.

    I like our selected side. I reckon we will win comfortably 

    I am particularly looking forward to watching Bennell and an improved VDB, now that he has a couple of games under his belt

    In a joyous celebration of my returned optimism, I shall give the maid a jolly good pre game rollicking !

    I am truely surprised you can summons some Bbo. 

     

    Dees by 4 goals.

    Weid to kick three, Bennell to have an impact and Clarrie will respond to the criticism with a vintage game in the middle.

    It’s a balancing act od !

    Dictated largely by whether I guzzle large amounts of vin ordinaire or The Manor’s budget allowing me to savour a higher quality Shiraz


    It’ll be interesting to see us play against a team that attacks and doesn’t play keeping off. 
    should mean we can hit the scoreboard for once. I too expect a win but the suns have been very good this year

    Raining and predicted to last all day. Will be a slippery wet slog.

    It seemed very slippery last night on the tv, so even though I like the addition of two talls I sort of lol’d to myself that this could be perceived as the game you don’t want to bring in talls (it’s almost like he’s trying to select the wrong team ? - only at Melbourne)!! Looking forward to it anyway! Go dees!

    Can you imagine the quality of game this will produce could well be 1 goal each at half time.

    Feeling the same way. Think all the media heat and the hub will galvanise the group.

    In a lot of games RN a good thrashing would be preferable to be forced to watch the game.

    Got some pork fillet marinating in a Chinese BBQ brine, some home made Italian venison sausages, a couple of car from porterhouse steaks all going on the smoker and a bottle of Hently farm Shiraz* 

    The final piece of the puzzle is a pineapple of the sun's paying $2.40 as an insurance policy...

    Games against Gold Coast have historically been positive turning points in our season, so I'm tipping that to continue.  2 and 3 with the team playing a more confident, connected brand of footy and things won't seem anything like as bad as they do right now.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
