I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Agreed, it was 13 goals to 2 at half time 3 weeks ago, a similar score is desirable.

Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

What game style do we fail against most often?

They have to win the ball first and they’re not as skilled as other sides that have beaten us that way.

 

How good is T-Shirt weather?!

im off to the London for lunch in a decision I already regret. catch y’all later for the post match

Brisbane out to $3.85 on Sportsbet

Dud Sportsbet have the Dee's as unbackable favourites for the first 10 rounds this year?

Like pretty much every expert commentator?

Geez Louise what has that got to do with.....anything ?

They had a similar error last week.

No I mean the odds, 11:50AM is the time the game starts for me. Brisbane out to over $4 though 🤯

this time last week I was chomping at the bit.

 

today, I have zero expectations.

Ill have a beer or three tonight, chant, yell and scream, and what will be, will be

That's right! Or at least half of that will be acceptable!


If we are too tall back maybe an opportunity, to shift Petty forward to help out BB?

I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

Never a problem for AFL players no matter their looks. 
But yeah, can’t dispute your 2nd point 😂

Hearing that we also might have a late out for Smith or Bedford either of which will play or supersub

Might want to send this through to the coaches at MFC, doubt they will catch on

Sounds a bit Spargo-ish.

Definitely expecting a late change.

#GoDees. #GiveEmHell

Last week i was anxious as all heck, today i am very much "what will be will be". Would be a waste of a season to go out in straight sets, particularly starting 10-0.

It's all up to the boys now. I'll be there cheering them on tonight, and hopefully get to next week as well. 🤞

Agree. But that’s how the Dees mess with your head. Flat this week. Smash the Lions

have a week of getting your hopes up then Hawkins kicks 6 and we are crushed!

good times!

Yep


No matter what anyone says, there is huge pressure on us tonight. 

We haven't had enough go wrong out of our control to mean that a straight sets exit after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd is acceptable. It isn't.

I put very little weight in the margin of the two H&A games. Finals are different. We won't blow Brisbane apart (if we do, that says way more about them than us). We are better than them, we should find it easier to score against them than Sydney given their leaky defence, and we should have a point to prove and a burning desire to right the ship.

I don't mind if it's a slog, or if it's close, or if we're behind at points. I just want a win. I want a shot at Geelong in a prelim, where for the first time in a long time we'll be significant underdogs. 

So is anyone at all confident?

Come on, fess up.

funny thing is, if we win tonight, I think we will beat Geelong next week. go figure

 

Things were certainly different last week. We just need to get the job done tonight, that is all. Not particularly fussed about the perfect performance. Win and go again.

  • 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?
