What They Are Saying at Alberton


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

All doom and gloom at bigfooty:

  • If Brown does miss, we'll at least get ten goals closer...
  • We may do better in this game. No expectations, we'll be rank outsiders and there'll be less crowd pressure.
  • It's deck chairs on the titanic after only 3 rounds
  • 25k ? Id be surprised if 20k turn up at this point.
  • I have been a member since 1997 and at the moment I would rather stick pins in my eyes then witness another week of that [censored].
  • Play the kids and see what they can do. We are done this year. I’m glad it happens this early in the season, so the club has time to search for a new coach.
  • I’d be surprised if we keep this under a 80 point loss.
  • A Dee-struction on the national stage will go down a treat. Ben Brown to kick another 10.
  • We are f’ed, gave away all out depth when we were back to back prelim finalists..Joke of a club at the minute
  • Max Gawn hasn't been killing 'em in ruck this year but once again Melbourne run two big men in Gawn supported by Jackson. It is amazing how other sides seem to be able to run two big men but we can't.
  • I am losing patience with Connor Rozee as he has talent but seems to have hit a plateau. If Duursma can get the drop so can Rozee. He can take Motlop with him.
  • I'm trying to envisage how Port can choose a 22 to win this game. Maybe if the Dees have a bad night in front of the big sticks, we might be a slim chance - otherwise 0-4 is a certainty.
  • Honestly we are no chance. It’s a matter of how much. Even with a full list and Petracca and Oliver rested, we still lose. Our only hope is to have each team we play affected by covid but remain clean ourselves.
  • My god we are going to get hammered.  Melb by 71 points.
  • Who ******* cares
  • I suspect this Melbourne side would have given any of the sides; great Geelong side of 07-11, hawthorn of 13-15, Brisbane and port of 01-04, a good shake.  So no chance we win. But you do get to see some of the game’s great players whoop us so…..

And for good measure, a hint of optimism:

  • I’ve got a strange feeling that we will win.  The reality is it really should’ve been a 5 goal win against the crows if we didn’t butcher so many easy chances and the crows actually missed.

Judging by the tone of that game day board, perhaps they should replace 'Never Tear Us Apart' with this upbeat little number prior to the first bounce?

The pessimist in me thinks they are a chance but they already tried to drop players to generate a response and then they choke like that against the crows?

they are done I reckon

The player awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a jumper from the equipment store
And he walked on down the race
He went onto the ground where the Lions played, and then he ...
Paid a visit to the Hawks, and then he ...
He walked on back to AAMI, and
And he came to a derby
And he picked his side
"Adelaide?" "Yes, Port?" "Please don't kill me"
"Melbourne? I want to ... AAAAAAAAAARGHHHH!!!!"

Beyond amazing - do we have a Lizard King incarnate at the Dees? Feeling Dogga gives off some serious psychedelic 1960s/1970s vibes.

They want a flogging so the coach will get it. Poor Ken. I think this will be closer because we aren’t in the kind of form to smash a team and they will have a burp of passion for Hinkley. 

They really have to win this game. They aren’t beating Carlton away. They will be 0-5 and that will be that.

They were pretty solid in round 1 being 20 odd points in front of Brisbane just before 3/4 time (in Brisbane). Personally think Brisbane are a certainty to make top 4 

They obviously put in a poor performance against an underrated (imo) Hawthorn side and then probably should have won last weeks showdown

This is going to be a real test for our team early in the season - if we are off a few % they are a big show

My second most looked for weekly post. Thanks.

Joeboy's 3 word analysis is my favourite. This is a close second for laughs though.

mine too; #1 is the 6-1 for best players after another glorious victory

pear were good in rd 1 up until 3/4 time, hopeless in rd 2, good in rd 3 up until 3/4 time...

they have been significantly hit by injury to key position players in particular, but i fear a regular top 4 side who are facing a 0-4 start if they lose this thursday

Agreed.  Power were stiff to lose to Lions at the Gabba. 

They aren;'t near as bad as portrayed by some and will be a hard game for the Dees.

It's particularly funny to see because i know a lot of Port People who were desperately hoping we'd beat Geelong in the prelim because they thought we were no chance of beating them in the grand final. 

I think they'll show up and have a crack but we will win the big moments and win by 3-4 goals, we seem to be operating in first gear at the moment and banking in wins.

They should be pumped. only 6 days they have to wait to get a shot at the reigning premiers and a win would kickstart their collective hearts!

6 days?  Typo maybe?

    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.

    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!
