If We Beat Richmond, I Will.......

... Be pretty happy.  You know the last time we won the first six games of the season was something like 1965, right? 

 

Edit:  Or was that the first seven games?  I think that team won like eight in a row anyway.

    Be releaved that the side is finally starting to live up to its potential.

    To be honest, I won't be that surprised as we really should have beaten Richmond in at least one of our encounters in the last few years.

    Time we stop being intimidated by these sides.  Richmond are good, but they are not invincible.

    Richmond came out the favourites, super-confident and arrogant during the pre-season for a practice match against the Dees. They did not impress and went down rather embarassingly to an underprepared Demon outfit. It's going to happen again this coming weekend. This time, we're prepared, despite key injuries.

    Head down Swan street to drink a few beers and luxuriate in the afterglow of a win against the benchmark team, then home to jump on DL to post some rantings, watch the replay and read all the newspapers articles I can find.

    Mind you if we lose I’ll do pretty much the same thing except I’ll wallow in defeat rather than luxuriate in victory.

    Cue pessimistic Demonlanders writing on 'Is Goodwin the right guy' thread, that if we still make finals, we're just making up numbers, thus it's and indictment on the board for agreeing to a contract extension for Goodwin.

    I would be absolutely disgusting to be around. Richmond supporters would have nothing on what I would be dishing up.

    I’ve been as critical of Goodwin as anyone but it would be harsh to criticise after a 5-1 start to the season with the only loss coming against the premiers. Best leave that thread until the end of the season I reckon.

    I must confess to watching the replay of the last quarter of last weekend's game twice.

    ... be surprised. Looking at the recording of the Hawks game, I got a bit disheartened about or chances Saturday night.

    If MFC beat RFC we will laud Goody’s cunning ploy to appropriate and assimilate Dimma’s gameplan into the Demon playbook.

    Pop the lid off.....a bottle of beer! 

    But seriously I will also start to believe that might be something this year.

    This is a dead set critical game for us

    It might even be a “line in the sand game”

    Anyway in honour of this game ,and of course The Warrior’s 300th, I have decided to have a moment of morality 

    If we win..... I shall confess to the maid that lockdown is over and she can actually leave The Manor

    • 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?
