Very slim pickings this week.

From bf:

  • ...and please be gentle Demons.
  • Maybe I'll break out the rum instead of gin
  • 3 new umps .... please
  • Apart from cloning Tom Green a few times, there's probably not much we can do that would make a difference.
  • I don't care what the game plan is I just want to see us score 100+ points. I wouldn't care if we list by 10 goals doing so. It is better than watching the rubbish they are dishing up at the moment.
  • With Ash we recruited a line breaking half back and we have turned him into a tagging mode who doesn’t know what to with it when he gets [it}. Watching him get on the wing in a canter in space and get run down and tackled is infuriating.
  • Looks like VFL HQ is getting ready to stitch-up Preuss again as a scapegoat to cover up, and deflect attention away from, the umpiring crime scene.
  • ...its onwards to the MCG against the Demons. Oh dear god please stand up and make a game of it.

Don't blame them for wanting 3 new umps!

Each week ops supporters dread playing the Demons.  Never much optimism from them.  Only occasionally is there some hope, albeit futile.

It feels good to be feared by them.

    I’m on no hurry to underestimate GWS this weekend.  They’re out of form but they have some genuine weapons in their team.  They troubled us twice last year.

     

    (With that said… they’re a franchise, not a club and they have no real supporters)

    G Dub Ya S are top 4 quality at their best, but with Leon with the keys only play accordingly every once in a while.

    Ironically enough we sorely missed Ben Brown in the late season defeat against them.

    I thought that last week was going to be a close game and came out looking like a goose, so i wont be making any bold predictions this week.

    Dees by only 80 points.

    A completely Souless, Heartless basket case club that the AFL Dreamt made good sense!

    1000 point thrashing coming up unless Darth Vader manipulates that umpires pay 10 free kicks Greater Western Shizen to our 1 just to make a game of it

    I was at the game at the MCG last year when GWS beat us. Melbourne were listless, flat and seemed disinterested. About a week later I went to an MND fundraiser night where David Schwarz spoke, and he categorically stated that Melbourne would win the premiership. When I said that I had been at the game on the weekend against GWS and they looked far from premiership contenders, he said that Burgess had really upped their training loads and that was why they were so flat. He said that barring injuries they would win and he was right!! I would like them to smash the orange maggots.

    After the rush of playing finals and winning the flag I heard Gawn say that now he understands why Dustin Martin always looked bored in rd4 😜

    GWS is one of two teams in the comp who currently have a winning record against us.

    We al thought we'd beat them last year, and we didn't.

    Surely we haven't forgotten that game.

    I think you mean GWS is one of 2 teams who currently have a losing record against us, the other being GC. Unless you mean since the day before the queens birthday last year. Then you’d be correct.

    I thought he got 5 weeks? That would mean he is back.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
