OK.  A few minutes away from all the contract talk; there is a game to be played in a few days!

 

This thread is a bit late this week as not much to report.  The bf posters seem fixated with selections and very little about the game/opposition.  A bit of pessimism no optimism. 

  • We need ruck cover or Melbourne will destroy us, if we play Murray again our defence will get opened up.
  • They can't accept ROB getting smashed every week. Jackson will destroy him with his athleticism and pace. At least Murray has a bloody good leap on him and will compete at centre bounces
  • Not complaining about the ruck, he impacted really well. but if we go with just Butts as a tall while he rucks we will get opened up down back. North didn't make us pay, Melbourne will.
  • If he (Crouch) plays melbourne will isolate fritsch on him and fritsch will kick 8 on him. Clubs wont let him be an intercept, they will play through his man and work a favorable match up
  • if we pick Frampton, Melbourne will stick someone (like Fritsch) on him and tell the mids to play through Frampton who is not good one-on-one.
  • Nathan Schmook on afl.com seems to think a Newchurch debut (for McAdam) should be a lock.
  • His call is Newchurch for McAdam, Jones for Hamill and and Thilthorpe to return for McHenry.
  • Nah, this will be a lot closer than anyone will believe.  We match up so well on them, particularly in the mid field.... wait.

My favourite:

  • We would get done for tanking playing Davis.

    I’m so far from confident after last years debacle.

    Never fear Mr G.

    They don't have Seedsman this year.  We will be ready for their 'charge the defence through the corridor' tactic.

    Also, we have now learnt to defend a lead so they won't beat us again in the final 8 minutes after being 16 points down.

    With a bit of luck it will be umpired better not that it should have come to that, last year.

    Dees by 6-8 goals!

    I don't know about others but I was starting to take wins for granted, and this came to a head in the Hawks win as well as the WC/North fortnight.

    Definitely won't be taking this win for granted given how tight the ladder is and the fact they beat us last year.

    Hopefully last year's loss will sharpen their attitudes going into Saturday.

    Computer says No

    But 6 goals was very close to the pin.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
