Anticipation level

Featured Replies

Posted

I started the year with an anticipation level of 5 out of 10 prior to the StKilda game and now I'm not quite sure who we're playing this weekend , so I suppose I'm down to a 2 .

How have you fluctuated ?

 

To be honest, I am still pretty pumped to see what the boys produce

if we can get back Rivers and Travis I think we are a chance

Moloney and Neitz would be a bonus, but not likely

Rivers is the most important player to come back due to matchups

O'keefe, O'Loughlin, Hall, Everitt... so many good forwards

Rivers - O'Keefe

Bell - O'Loughlin

Carroll - Hall

P.Johnson - the resting Everitt/Jolly

There are some obvious reasons for our losses this year and the club knows more about them than we do. You can bet your watermelon they are working hard to turn things around.

You have to remember it was only 5/6 matches ago that we won an elimination final and took it up to the Dockers at home. It was only last year that we won 11 out of 12 and held a top4 position for 8 out of 9 weeks. It's the same blokes out there... well half of them anyway

Obviously injuries are important, but I feel the side has the capacity to get back to their A game and come out with things going our way and get a big scalp at any time.

This could be the week.

So yes, I still have high anticipation levels.

Yep, it was 6 matches ago, our last win in fact. It was one of the 2 1/2 we've won from the last 11. There is no reason to expect a change in this formline.

I am especially excited about this match!!

Probally because my best mate goes for the swans and we always give each other [censored] plus it is the first match i get 2 go!!! So i am very excited!! I also have a strange feeling we will win!

 

im very excited......... oh wait thats because of a massive BBQ im going to that night, i suppose ill look at the game until we are getting flogged by 1/4 time

Would that be anticipation or apprehension?!!!

Although I am always excited to see the boys (whats left of them anyway) live at the SCG.....

As it only happens once a year :rolleyes: !!!


Im still eager to see what they boys produce each wk, hopefully nothing crap

Unfortntely i cant go to the actual game at the SCG this saturday because i have a cold, but i will be watching the game on tv cheering on the boys

Channel 10 or Fox?

Into Sydney, it's live (or as close to live as they think they can get) on Channel 10.

As are all Swans games on Saturday nights.

And there is the later repeat on Fox.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
