Heard it on 3aw Rex Hunt reckons we dont have the cattle and we will not win with Neita or Robbo out .

He said that the cats will win by 28 points and maybe more if they get on a roll.

What do you think i reckon we do have good players but the mind set of the players is a worry at times ( like now ) .

Dear Old Rex...

It is not overly hard to tip against the Dees this week:

1. Lost the first 2 games with no heart

2. Lost key personnel

3. Up against a side that won by a bucketload last week.

On paper (and according to this site) we dont have the cattle. Or the guts. or anything else.

But I still tipped the Demons (and I thought Rex was the dribbling idiot!)

The cats have tom hawkins and selwood added to a great list. It is important to note that 90% of this list were beaten by minnows and short handed teams in 06. They missed the 8 at finals when they had the right cattle on the paddock.

When geelong are playing, nothing is certain.

The dees are an outside chance.

rex is a smart guy. if i were a betting man i would place a $50 on geel by 50 points as i recon we will get flogged. remember 'go with your head not your heart"

This is the sort of game that we occasionally win - down on form, missing many key players, absolutely no expectations, all the tipsters against them: perfect conditions for a mentally soft team to shine.

Posted

unfortunately unlike some past occasions when we've faced enemies depleted.. we now have the handicap of our top two goal kickers missing physically...and half the rest just missing in action..

that my fellow Dees is a sad reality.

Posted

Agreed BB, but they played with the expectation that they'd do well. So even with our top goalkickers missing the rest may play as if they have nothing to lose - and when that happens ...

Let me tell you

Geelong are [censored]

Soft, slow and poorly coached

Good call Yze Magic, now if we do get up today I can say that we beat a side that are [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached.

But if we lose we got beaten by a side that is [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached.

Somehow I don't think we can call anyside [censored], soft, slow and poorly coached at the moment.

Big call to rule out a team in what's a 'two-horse race', but it's hard to argue.

That's not to say I agree with him, but I understand where he's coming from.

When Melbourne have their back to the wall they normally surprise the pants off everyone, it'll be no different today, Melbourne by 22 points.

The fact that Freo is 0-3, when everyone has them in the top 4, just goes to show you that we are not the only unstable, unpredictable, prone-to-dropping-our-bundle, side in the competition.

The difference is, Freo has a great home ground advantage, and no key injuries.

At least they'll take some heat off us.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
