GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS



Recommended Posts

On the podcast, Binman (or was it George?) recommended Steven May to mindToby Green.

So who takes Himmelberg and Finlayson?
I think it should be Michael Hibberd on Green, leaving May, Lever and Petty to cover their tall forwards.

Should Harmes chase Whitfield?
Interesting that they dropped de Boer, who did ok on Clarrie last time. Do they have another tagged.

Who is Clarke??

I am expecting a quick, out of the block start. It has been something we have not done well for a while.

We cannot give them a sniff, as confidence and a run on will give GWS a chance to take the lollies.

Can they play the MCG? My guess is they learnt a lot from the loss last week there. They will be better for the run even with their disruptive build up.

We have to hit them early. Hoping for accuracy and efficiency.

We are bringing effort and fight to our matches, and have a smart approach when we don't have the ball.

Hoping for some beautiful ball movement and connection with our forwards.

Really feel it is time for a dominant performance. I want to us gel and play some outstanding footy. Make a statement about our skill, fitness, fight, and cohesion to the oppositions. Show them they will need luck, hardness and work, to even get close.

Put the fear into them all.

Go Dees.

May was on Toby Greene at stages in round 3 and had goals kicked on him in the last quarter after Greene gave Jetta a bath.

Finlayson needs attention. He’s an absolute dead eye around goals.

I think they’ll really make us earn the win today and I hope we don’t them lightly. They’re a highly talented midfield on paper.

Heres hoping our fwd line boots enough.

I think they will.

Sadly i have a covid vax at half time.

But suppose I am grateful.

Go Dees.

How good is footy to cheer up this Nsw lockdown we have here.

We have to kick straight with goals, the earllier, the better - and maintain such a performance. Tags must abound.

I forgot Jv was playing.

He will be better this week so our mids should come out on top.

Heres hoping for a fast start for once and some accurate kicking.

Tmac and Kozzie to have a big day.

I shall be leaving the warm embrace of The Manor for only my second live game this year.

And ........ I fully expect to see a comfortable victory. We shall have clear winners on every line and , the middle of the road Dwarfs, simply will not have the answers.

No trains from Scumbury today so I shall give the Merc an airing. The Maid shall be left  in charge (temporarily of course ) to oversee the victory celebrations.

Dees by 26.

It was me jjc.

You might be right and hibbo might get the job on greene. He has been good against players like Martin and papley.

I just think greene almost plays as a big, and out of the square too. And May is strong enough and he is best close to goal, rather up too high. 

Petty can take Himmelberg.

And even though finlayson is tall, he plays almost as a high half forward (like tmac) and I reckon hibbo can take him with Lever coming across for support.

Morning all. With a forecast more hebridean than antipodean today I'll be looking for a spot near the fireplace at Dr Morse in Abbotsford for my eggs benny. Maybe a cheeky pint at Range Brewing next door before the short commute to the 'G. 

As for the game I'm expecting a really close one so we'll need to be switched on from the get go. Enjoy your day everyone.

Hibberd has returned this year in the finest of form and is just as important part of our defence as May and Lever.

Actually they are all excellent. Best defence around.Hunt was back in form last week too.

Rivers has been a revelation and Salem back to his career best.

My favourite non Dees player is Toby Greene. A mongrel, rat cunning, Rolls Royce player. The perfect blend of steel and silk. If we can contain him we go a long way to winning the game. May to get the job for mine.

Our defence was back to its domineering best last week. I expect a similar strangulation today.

GWS are the type of opponent we have struggled against. We need to be switched on for this.

Hoping to see Viney crack in and inflict some pain.

If we kick straight, a 5-6 goal win. If we don’t, another nervous 10 point win

My weather app says top temp of 9 degrees. 
Every degree matters when there’s not many of em. ?

Both teams are talented, but with the exception of Toby Green, they are mentally fragile when the heat is turned up. Our toughness around the contest, will to win, commitment to team defence and superior fitness will see us across the line by 4 to 5 goals, after a ‘slog feast’ for the first three quarters.  Another one of those games where we seem to hold the upper hand for most of the day, but don’t break away until the last quarter.

Or you could plummet to my level and catch the train replacement bus. ?

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
