I used to get alcohol fuelled headaches like that. Now I can only consume 3 glasses of wine it’s not nearly a problem 

 

I reckon we can win I’m not as enamoured with the Swans as this unbeatable team as many…they have games like every other where they look pretty ordinary, lost to a poor Essendon at the MCG last year for example

I have no idea what to expect today. We are due to beat Sydney.

Hopefully we shut down papley, buddy and don't let the McCartin brothers dominate like last time.

Obviously looking forward to seeing what VanRooyen can do

Just bank the 4 points dees.

 

Last week was a wake-up (I hope) for us. For 3 1/2 quarters we were hammered after handling the ball like a bg bar of wet soap. Happy we have a beauty of a day. 

Would like to see a positive response that shows that they hate losing. Hit them hard at the coal face, the engine room, the stoppages. 

Dynamic, risk taking seems to be the way to go.

C'mon Dees, control the momentum, take the opportunities, mark everything, dominate with our transitioning game from defence to offence and vice-versa, and adjust the backline so they don't get easy forward 50 marks when they don't blast it in.

Go Dees

Melksham confirmed sub.........

He’s not playing for Casey today. Nor is J Smith.

Only a rumour at this stage but Laurie and Dunstan to play only half a game in case they’re required. 

Hopeful, rather than confident today. Sixteen of the premiership players present, plus Hunter so 17 from the GF, No shortage of talent but the Swans have had the wood on us. Need a big game from Trac, Clarry and May/Lever. Pity no Kozzie. Hopefully he's learned.

I agree, our fumbling, especially out of the centre, is a concern and a block to our gameplan.

As you have also mentioned our kicking to target players last week was atrocious.

" last week"? 

When hasn't it been ?

The best list in the league a generational midfield and not one of them is quick or can hit a target by hand or foot on any regular basis!

What I most liked about the podcast with Selwyn was the reiteration that ‘we’ as all clubs are ‘process driven’ irrespective of outcomes.

Reset and focus on process and 9/10 the wins will come. 
 

cheerio and go dees


20 games to go in the home and away season after this one. Just saying!

pies and swans look like the two teams to beat atm, but we know this changes through the season. 

We we were 10-0 last year (and the year before). Couldn’t sustain that momentum either year, but recovered it in 2021 (helped by a good run with injuries). 

it would be great to win without Max and Kozi, and would give us some confidence that we probably need to have when we play the Swans later in the year when it counts for more. 

But, jeez, some perspective on this site would be nice! 

 

Question.

Is it a possession to the kicker, for a kick out, after a point has been scored.

Is there any difference if kicked before the kick off line or outside it?

Goody needs to get the boys fired up. we need intensity and focus for 4 quarters 

Yze needs to earn his money too and sort out the midfield. 60 clearances to 32 was pathetic last week

Fire up boys!

Maybe let Choco coach

Smith is injured but melksham was the emergency and is not playing for Casey.

I am stunned.

Lose Grundy and Spargo can ruck.

To then be risking JVR in his first game in the ruck, where we know knee injuries are common, would be unbelievable.

If Tom hasn’t come up, we could have used Tommo as the sub, forward, back or even ruck.

I believe if they run out of the square it is a possession. If they kick it in the square it isn’t.

you’ll be pumped if we lose today won’t you?

start a ‘Sack Goodwin’ thread, is that the plan?

Looking forward to seeing JVR debut, if he shows all the competitiveness that he does in VFL he’ll do okay! Tough day to start against Swans, but he’ll have a crack.

Looks like we’ve picked mobile team to play the Swans, so good test early on for us. Be good to have Kossie, as he brings something else re pressure and just does some exhilarating passages of play!

Be great to win today!

Go Demons!!

To be fair I'm guilty of showing it pre lions game.

I love Kozzie but that hit was a total brain fade and he's let his team down.

He's young so he gets a pass . Just hope he learns from it, appreciates the club sticking by him and resigns.

We need his X factor.

Is this really what you think? That Petracca is slow and Clarry can’t hit a target by hand? No idea how we won a premiership with such a slow unskillful group.

The side looks disjointed and we don't know how to play under Grundy

Best point made so far.  We don't look too good when Grundy is rucking

Teams that move the ball super quick with assured ball handling and can hit targets are getting the wins.

That is the same as the last 100 years is it not? 😇

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
