What they are saying at Arden Street

Recommended Posts

The mood is gloomy resignation.  Not dissimilar to the Ess mood a few weeks ago.

From Bigfooty.

  • * me, can we just forfeit? This could genuinely be 100+. Play all the kids, anyone over 28 except Ziebell can be dropped. Looks like we'll be running out there with about 5 players but at least they should all be AFL quality.
    • lol does it really matter? We’re gonna get done by 100+ no matter whos in
  • BBB will come back from injury and kick 9
  • At least if we bring in some youth and inexperience they bring some fight
    • We’re about to get smashed by well over ten goals, no point debuting anyone..
  • As a north supporter I feel like pain is our middle nameFritz will have an absolute field day.
  • Lever and May to combine for 20 intercept marks
    • Whatever the record is, they’ll beat it.
    • That’s just the first quarter right?
  • feel like it’s as good a time to get the dees…Off a short break, tough close game against tigers should have them sore
    • Sounds logical... Dees by 60.
  • Frisky had a quiet game tonight - red alert in our back 6
  • It’s going to be a blood bath
    • Really? I don't think we will win by that much but I will take your word for it.
  • We were neck and neck with them until time-on in Q3 and lost by 48 points last year. Despite everything, I refuse to believe we’re worse than we were back then.
  • If Dees don't turn up we lose by 60+, if they do turn up 100+

My Favourites:

  • McKay to full forward. If he is going to be a statue be a statue in our goal square so it frees up Larkey
  • This Tarryn Thomas fella looks a player. Seems a class bloke too. Reward his effort with a stint in the ones I think
    • He can't play right now. He needs to finish his homework.

 

Footnote:  each sub indented comment is a response to the point immediately above it.

 

Always wary of a Clarkson coached team and Cunnington always plays well against us.  Dees by 3-6 goals.. just to keep our % ticking over nicely.

Yes, there are a few notable comments.

At least they have mostly kept their sense of humour through the gloom.

 

I think it is finding those gems that keeps me doing these threads - waded through 10 pages of bigfooty to find enough of interest for an opening post...

I can remember myself and others dealing with our own dark years by substituting our own woe and nausea with similar humour. 
 

You just have to.

That is why I am wary. 

But couldn't possibly tip against us but to be on the safe side I'm just tipping a modest margin.

They will cover the spread. I hate it but they always go up a gear with us.

Seems to me many an opposition seem to.

This game is as much between the ears as it is ability. 

I'm not convinced we're quite there mentally.

We should be a 10-15 goal better team than this lot. Have no doubt Clarko will spring a trap.

We need to snuff out their exuberance very early or it's another dog's breakfast.

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. DL is very grateful Luci.

Rooh's emergence changes the whole team's mood & mindset and offers much incentive as the backs/mids now know they have a genuine target who can clunk marks and kick straight.

Might not happen overnight against the top line clubs but i wouldn't want to be on the other side as a bottom 4 - 6 club as our new forward set up begins to settle, emerge and stabilise.

They have an extra day recovery and so will have a game plan that tries to maximize this advantage. If they start anything like West Coast and get a sniff, itll be a worrying sign. 

Team will feel disappointed not to give one of their greats in Goldstein a memorable 300 milestone so expect a response.

I hope we pull our finger out and pants them 8-1 goals in the opening quarter and then contain the game from there. If it is left to the last quarter id say we are a 50-50 chance.

I believe we will win but make hard work of it. 5 goals, we don't often have have big scoring wins. We often do enough to win and that is it.

Despite what most of the idiots in the media say, Norf are not as bad as some make out. Me mate is Norf and I watch them most weeks. There's talent on the list and Clarko will harness it - let it not be this week though.

They are definitely not as bad as they were. They have a decent list and they’re playing with purpose. Like any inexperienced team they’ll be prone to blow outs, but they’ll also challenge sides. They have a good forwardline and a decent midfield. If we walk into the G expecting a win we will end up with the same result as the Essendon game.

True, when was the last time we played them at the G though? Seems to always be Docklands or Tassie. Docklands feels like a basketball game half the time the G is a bit different for a younger team.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
