i thought the match up was tough already (for similar reasons to why we lost last year), and wish I shared your confidence. Maybe MFCSS is slowly creeping in (cue Powderfinger!), but I am already getting mentally ready for a 2 week self-imposed ban from listening to SEN and RSN and watching any footy shows.

 

I think the fans probably need a win more than the club does. Would make for a much more comfortable bye week if we were back on the winner's list

There you go, Hibbo, target No.1

 

Perfect time to smash in hard and show the footy world what we can do at our best again - I think many have already forgotten how devastating our best football is

Agreed.

People need to get their heads around the fact that it's not 2021 anymore.

Apparently our defensive pressure which was the hall mark of last year has gone from elite to mid table or worse. 

I saw somewhere we are 17th for pressure.


Yikes.

Do they have a young player we can attack, as they did to Jack Watts all those years ago? 

Maybe a Daicos, or Henry?

Its about time we flogged someone.

The goings on this week have left me cranky.

Once more, unto the breach dear friends.....

One of the greatest movie versions ever made of any Shakespeare play is Laurence Olivier's "Henry V". As the battle of Agincourt begins, there are three riders, which becomes five riders which becomes nine riders and eventually hundreds. All shot in one scene. We need our team to play like that on Monday. We need to overwhelm the opposition in numbers.

 

The intensity we need to bring should be comparable to what we delivered in the PF & GF games. Nothing less. We have a week to recover so nothing short of sustained pressure over 4Q is a pass, especially given the slander and negative press the club has been exposed to.

If we can bring that, then i would agree with the OP. 

However, do not underestimate the intensity the Pies will bring. They will be playing high on confidence, they will be expecting a response so they will be ready. Challenge is to blow them out of the water early and put them on the back foot and questioning themselves. First quarter will decide the game.

This may be by design. We do have 10 wins banked without burning energy applying manic pressure.

If we lose I get 10 days to avoid pie fans. I think the pies play G better than us.

Sportsbet has Pies 3.07 in from 4.50 a week or so ago.

They got into $2.50 they are drifting now. Centrelink money has dried up. 

What a week! The players appear to be galvanising, so should we as supporters, I’m going to back them by turning up this Monday.

Let’s not forget who we are up against, it is our (or at the very least my) arch enemies.

Don’t care if we have injuries, suspensions or are loading- I want Collingwood but in particular their feral supporters and that little frosby flopping, free kick seeking piece of peroxided excrement, Ginnivan to suffer a humiliating defeat (whether it be by one point or 10 goals I don’t care), just so long as it cuts to the bone.

You can’t experience this type of pleasure by watching it on TV or Kayo, you got to be there!

GO DEES!!

Top post and thread in general.

If anyone wants anymore GEEing up for the game, watch the clip on the club's website of Daniel Turner being announced as playing on Monday, done at training this morning.

Priceless, including the effort by Jake Lever in the announcement, and especailly look around at the smiling faces of team mates.

Fascinating

That's always the problem playing Collingwood..would you prefer to win by 1 or 100. 1 is almost better.

My 7 and 9 year old boys had a punch on yesterday. 7 yo won. Gave them both a week. Mother wants to review it.

They are in their room playing nicely now. Bit like footy players.


Players should treat this game with Finals Intensity. They know the levels now. It’s not a dream. They powered away with the Flag last year. 
Losing S May is a major blow as is TMac. But others step in and we still have a dam good side 

But Monday is Finals pressure and then a week off

I hope we do. Taking my son to his first ever Melbourne game, and my first game in 3 years as we live so far away. Might have to pack some earplugs as he has never been exposed to magpie filth before.

So, what's the true story? Did the 9 year old complain that the 7 year old let the side down playing marbles with the neighbour's kids or did he say he was sick of telling a third child how to position his tombola?

Read the title of this thread and thought, will we though, then watched the Daniel Turner video and thought, yes I think we will.

Yikes.

Interestingly we lead the league in tackles inside 50, have conceded the fewest amount of points (even with a full game more on a quarter of the league who had the bye last round) and along with Collingwood are one of the best intercept teams in the league.

We are one of the worst tackling and worst pressure act teams (pressure act being chasing a team from behind). It could well be the way we play in that we rarely need to chase. Teams out tackle us given we are near the top in contested possessions and disposals. We win and have more of the ball overall. We also go forward more than any other team.

It could explain why our games haven't looked "good" all year. They have almost always seemed like grinds and they really have been.

Suggesting Collingwood "should" win though is a stretch. Why?

Ok so we have landed on Ginnivan, Henry, and a Daicos preferably 2. 

Jack V. gets first crack, and gets a license to cop a 50 metre penalty and goal, or up to 2 weeks suspension if he can’t be subtle enough. 

Then Hibbo, Harmes, Pickett to finish off whoever is left.

 

Seeing as the AFL  has been kowtowed into stumbling into something they apparently can selectively choose to enter into I hope the Club will demand an opinion prior to Monday's Game as there is a definite question of double standards here..

If jack  v gets first crack as you say the others won't be required.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
