Left Foot Snap 2,609 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Just now, Pink Freud said: The slipperiness was due to the state of the ground after a heavy downpour on the night before the game. And yes it was humid during the course of the game. Walk to and from the ground was superb. Must have missed the previous days rain.
dl4e 5,851 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Just win it demons. Tussle between May and King may be interesting.
Bombay Airconditioning 6,508 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 I watched the last 3/4 of the tigers / suns game last week. The Suns were ordinary and the Tigers even worse. will be disappointed if this is a close game.
BDA 23,048 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 If our attitude is right we'll win this game handily. Dees by 30 points
AzzKikA 2,371 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Just like every week, want us to back our system and play for each other and the win will come.
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 AFL article on Noah Anderson. He’s the one to stop. The 22-year-old is averaging 27 disposals a game, 12 of them contested, along with seven clearances to be ranked top-10 in the AFL in that category. Statistics provided by Champion Data show that when Anderson attends the centre bounce, the Suns win the clearance 52.3 per cent of the time – ranked second in the League behind Sydney's Luke Parker. He's also forced 29 turnovers from his pressure this season – top 10 in the competition. 3 1

I couldn’t help but think what happened to the Tigers from Anzac eve, very poor from Tigers. Even if they kicked slightly straighter would have been in the game. Demons bring close to our usual standard and should win by 5 goals. That Melbourne acknowledged last years game away as toughest interstate game of the year is great, as there will be no taking a win for granted! Go Demons!! 1
DeelightfulPlay 2,723 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Just bumped into the Swans boys in Sydney airport... I didn't quite comprehend the all red outfit as I weaved around them in the foot traffic until I cut one off to get to my gate 😂 Anyway, Heritage Bank stadium here I come! 5 1

Cyclops 512 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Turner a late out for Casey, May a late out for Melbourne?
Deeoldfart 8,201 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 We could, we should, we will? I expect GCS to make a nuisance of themselves for a long way, but our classy forwards (Kozzie, Chin & Fritta) and midfield depth, should prevail in the end. If it goes ‘down to the wire’ (which won’t altogether surprise me), l hope some of Clarrie’s ‘never say die’ attitude is contagious! I’m a bit uneasy about this one, but Dees by 30. 1

At the break of Gawn 4,512 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) I’m not as optimistic as others on here. We’re short in defence and Dew has gone very tall which is a worry. If we beat them at the source we’ll be ok, but I worry that if they get on top with clearance it’s going to be a challenge for our defence. They haven’t beaten us since 2014. I hope that run continues but it’s going to end one day… Edited May 6, 2023 by At the break of Gawn 2
FlashInThePan 1,893 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 Okay, I’ll be the one to say it… relax, we got this 1

leave it to deever 17,618 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 It's a strange season. Blues thumped Eagles by over 100 points away. I know eagles are depleted but it's a big margin. They looked ordinary at home last night and were soundly beaten. I think despite a few teams the comp is fairly tight. We are better than Gcs but we will be switched on from the get go? Our forward line worries me with our lack of contested marking but hopefully Max can help out. These are must win games.

dees189227 12,512 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 We cannot afford to drop this. We must win and again I look forward to seeing if Van Rooyen can play 4 quarters and snag a few. The midfield will be a good battle. Go dees 1
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 4 hours ago, Redleg said: Rowell has lifted, in trying to make up for Miller being out, but Miller is a huge out for them, as is the in form Weller, who has become their run and carry player. They are playing well and this is no gimme game. We usually are troubled by their small forwards too - Rankine (who is at the Crows now) and Sexton (who has been playing sub). Combined with Miller out we really should account for them but wouldn't be surprised if they push us to the last quarter. Anything above a 4 goal win will be a great result. 1
