loges 6,767 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Small forwards need to do what they're there for get involved and crumb some goals apart from pressuring 1

The mental effect of the Jackson and Brayshaw situation. Port now with a real chance of finals. Port now into $2.45 from $3.10 a week ago. I hate to say this, but I think there is a possibility we miss finals altogether Wow that's some proper doom and gloom! MFCSS has got you good! 3
BDA 23,048 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Play like we did against the lions we win, even without Clarry. Produce a performance similar to last week then we lose. im just not sure which dees will turn up today. 2

Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Just back in Bangkok after a very pleasant week in Chiang Mai - lovely place. I have accepted an invitation from @Sir Why You Little to again view the game from his "respectable saloon" in Nana. I have some reservations in this as my last visit resulted in 2 or 3 days being erased from my my memory........ ah well. To the game. What can said but we simply must win to keep clear of the logjam that is forming at the top of the ladder. I reckon Trac and Jack will set the tone but I also hope to see some centre bounce breakaway from Kossie. Max to kick 3. Dees comfortably in the end. 7 3
one_demon 826 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Lose and we could get swallowed by the chasing pack 3

Spending the weekend in the Champagne area in a luxury hotel in the hills above Epernay to celebrate my birthday. Champagne tasting and buying, Michelin starred eating, spa treatments etc. I will be watching live with a hangover. Dees in The Alice by 6 goals. First time I have started a GAMEDAY thread. Hope I have not stood on any toes. CHF, love that region and can't wait to get back again. There used to be a restaurant called the 'The Caves' in town that was an excellent experience in quality country french cuisine. The pub in the town square was great after 9pm as well. Let's hope you get to celebrate a win and prolong the hangover!!

titan_uranus 25,255 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Lord Travis said: Port are in better form than us obviously, so they should start favorites IMO. Our mids need to ramp up the pressure this week and lower the eyes going inside 50. If we can withstand their pressure and do that, then we’ll win. If not then it’s going to be tough and top four looks less likely. Their form is only marginally better than ours. They're 3-2 since their bye, we're 2-1. Their wins were against Sydney, Gold Coast and GWS. Ours were against Brisbane and Adelaide. Importantly, all three of their wins were at the Adelaide Oval, too.
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Lucky the game is not at the MCG. Given the weather we would lose about $100k with maybe 15,000 in attendance. 1
DubDee 26,716 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Kozzi and Bedford are gonna rip it up at the Alice! Dry day, the classy players will dominate 1

dazzledavey36 56,378 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Even after the Oliver out on Thursday night team selection I was relatively still confident. But then having thought it through deeper I reckon the loss of Petty is significant. MFCSS kicking in for me and now not so confident.. Edited July 17, 2022 by dazzledavey36 1
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Geez you lot jump off quick. Grow a backbone FFS. Win today and we are equal first a game clear of 3rd. Win by a lot and we could pinch top spot back. Sydney did us a huge favour last night, up to us to take advantage of it. Our only losses this year have been to sides sitting 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th. Port are not a very good side and missing a ruckman. Looking for Max to have a day out and Viney to step up in Oliver's absence. Despite our loss last week Petracca has been back to some of his best hitting the scoreboard with 3 goals in consecutive weeks. On a dry track I expect Kozzie, Bedford, ANB and Spargo to bring the manic pressure we were renowned for last year. Demons by 24+ 9 1 1
FlashInThePan 1,893 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Wow, what a bunch of sad sacks. Does anyone recall that we are the reigning premiers and second on the ladder? And as far as I can tell, the game against Geelong was the only game where our brand wasn’t on show for a fair whack of the game this year. 4 1
NeveroddoreveN 1,034 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Demons to relish a dry track. Thinking they will be relaxed, focused and ready to show Port that they are not close to a top 4 team. We find connection forward and score over 120. Port will be lucky to get half that. Really confident today for some reason! Go Demons!!! 2

dees189227 12,530 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Well surely the players do see the ladder & how close it is at the top. If the players are hungry for a top 2 spot they will win today. Lets take our top spot back
