Im not sure that holds true on demonland old dee. And I certainly wouldn't put you in the over rating players camp.

Some might argue that 2018 was an aberration. We'll get a better idea after thus season about that. But that argument diminshes the fact that it is impossible to fluke making a preliminary final. 

That team had good players and we have improved the list since. So we plenty of good players. Good enough to won a flag? Im not sure, but in our best 22 thete are no poor players.

Your last line is what I am on about. A significant number of our best 22 have poor delivery. They don't miss kick every now and then they do it week after week. Even last year we had a lot of forward entries that result in no score because of poor delivery which resulted  in turnovers and scores by the the other team. 

 

There once was a cursed football team
Who played quite alright in '18
But then went to crap and are tryna get back
To a level we've, just, rarely seen.

Watched the Dorks play Geelong a couple of weeks ago and thought if we can't beat this rabble then we might as well pack up for the season.

I'm sticking by that claim.

Apart from Tmac, we can pretty well put our best side on the park. I was surprised Jackson got a gig, but hey it's bizzaro season, and just like Kossie, how else is the kid going to learn the game?

Melbourne easy! And the the first jolly good thrashing I'm dealing out today will go to Sportsbet.

~ Suspects this is due to the Maid being over worked last week ?

    Was gonna write a poem,

    They will likely play the tough guy, 

    and hope they have us bluffed.

     

    We often fade post half time,

    and play like on the bong.

    but today we'll come out firing,

    and maintain it all game long.

     

    I really think its time that

    the MFC stood tall.

    Forget the Mr nice-guy

    lets grab 'em by the balls

     

    MFC by 4 goals.

     

    GO DEES !!!

     

    This fits quite well to the tune of "Roxanne" (Police).

    Don't want to see Weid nudged under the ball today. Stand strong.


    Actually quite surprised at the level of confidence on here.

    We have already dropped two games we should have won.

    They have been bashed like we were the week before and I expect them to come out firing.

    They also have a pretty smart Coach, who adapts well to the situation facing the team.

    We will have to play well to win.

    Yep agree. We have a long tradition of patting ourselves on the back after winning a tough one, getting full of bathwater and getting pantsed in the next game.

    Great pressure and better delivery last week but we've got to keep improving this week if we're going to match it with teams like the lions.

    How come 4 years we were both crap and now the Lions are GF chances and we are still cr-p?

    Last week reinvigorated my optimism od , so I'm not prepared to put us in the cr-p basket just yet.

    However, if we don't win today, I will stuff us in that basket and nail the lid shut !

    I really think we generally have the list and talent to be competitive and successful Old Dee.

    I think we are cr-p because of the dumb footy we have been playing.

    If we bring the pressure and lower our eyes as well as the coaches being flexible and responsive and willing to adjust against our oppo, we can be right there with the best of them.

    I think the players saw changes to our game plan last week and responded as they should.

    Hope we smash the poo and wees! 

     


    I think if we can get ahead and then be in front when the game finishes, we’ll win.

    Ethan your posting today has been wonderfully insightful and original!

    I reckon there is a job waiting for you on either the channel 7 or fox commentary team.. 

    Your choice!

    ( just pm me as to which one you select)

    Are you Matthew Richardson?

    Given the flack Clarko has received this week, we have the added incentive that if we can beat them well, we can help send the Hawks season closer to the edge and their club into a coach questioning turmoil.

    He'd require a frontal lobotomy first and foremost.

    If it was possible to swap coaches I'm up for it.

    Can't say I'm confident of a win today. Its typical of Clarko to come out and make a statement today after being smashed all week.

    No way will Hawthorn play as badly as they have the last couple of weeks, but our best is good enough to win.

    Question is what Melbourne we get, and if we fall back to bad habits watch Clarkson pick us apart tactically and take advantage. Potentially lots of intercept marks to Sicily and the ex Dees down back.

    Hawks are a proud club and will come out firing. If we play well we can win but it will be tight

    Luckily he's not playing 'dazzle'...

    ...if both teams play to their best, we win.

    Like most though, I'm not confident.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
