GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs GWS


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Mmmm, it does have a vibe, as though those whom are in contract are checked out, and those who are playing for a contract (for the Dee's or elsewhere) may just raise the bar a bit in the energy stakes and play for themselves.

You wake up on game day and hope your side wins. Problem is I think we will get thrashed but then again have not watched alot of GWS. Prove me wrong melbourne.

If it is Jettas last game they should break their balls for him. Been a great clubman.

so which melbourne football team will turn up today, the one that will play good football and get us all excited about the possibility of playing finals, or the one where we are a top 8 side playing a bottom side and who capitulates. Until about 2 weeks ago i had hoped we had turned the corner and were starting to play some good consistent football, with some awesome patches and  I looked forward to us playing a major part in the finals. But if these players cannot rise to the occasion with finals on the line against bottom dwellers then our chances not only this year but in future years is grim.

Our last 2 games were losses because of intensity and effort. I can't see what has changed just because our President had a crack publicly, we are trying different players, and an Age journo has done a trifling fluff piece about power plays behind the scenes. 

We will probably win well this week, then get thrashed next week. This is Melbourne way. I have spoken. (kudos to the Mandalorian!)

Not a bad show Mb38

Jetta still has a year to run on his contract, he may not be an automatic inclusion into our best 22 every week but I imagine he’ll get the occasional game next season. 

hope so

We were to play them round 2 off the back of the WC debacle.  They were in decent form and we were trash.  We have peaked and come back to baseline, and they have gotten worse.  Probably better to play them now on the off chance we bring something today.

This team doesnt have it in them.

Easily beaten the past 2 weeks by poor teams shows we have already checked out.

That and Goodwin.

 

Our season ended a couple of weeks ago.

We’ve had plenty of passengers the last 2 games but I can’t see us winning tonight if Weideman has another poor game. He needs to lift otherwise I don’t see where the goals are going to come from.

Keeps looking like he will break out but still not certain if he will be a star.

Most premier sides have a coleman eligible player. Maybe it will be him or maybe Jackson. The latter has shown better form earlier.

Perhaps we should just lure one (although theres not many about).

I have no idea why, but I think we will win tonight.

Full disclosure: I said that the last 2 games.

On form i would not be laying money on either team!  This is the "flaky" cup playing for a flake bar as the prize.  

On paper they should absolutely murder us....10 goals+

There is a blueprint to beat GWS though and it has been laid out well by other teams.  Control the centre square, push them long and down the line, take away their run and gun style they love to play.   I actually think they seem scarred from their recent GF loss, which was maybe worse than our prelim vs WC few years back.

If we come in a with a solid game plan we will beat this mob despite them having lot more talent.  If we come in with anything less we will miss out on the flake bar.  I love/hate this club haha!

Giants have made too many changes to win this. I’m actually confident we’ll beat them by 20+ points.

Still think we’re doubtful for finals though unless Clarko pulls a rabbit out of the hat to beat the dogs.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
