Good times 😳

 

It’s a good thing I packed nowhere near enough clothes; carry-on being only 7kg limit. Warm clothes are so overrated anyways, amirite?!

good grief, even the temperature is considered woke these days.      Anyway, I thought it was plus 0.

 

Genuine 50 / 50 game imo.  Dees by 5 goals!!  ❤️ 💙

How good would it be if we gave them a hiding!?


Extreme MFCSS here. My biggest worry is we are not really playing that well. We mess up the centre bounces too often with tiddleliwink hanball and I can see that Horne Francis having a field day.

BN who concocted that avatar?  Looks like a mix of Clarry, the little mermaid, Rapunzel and a 70s troll doll!

It is Clarry with his new haircut mixed with my little pony…

like every game, will be won and lost in the midfield and on turnover

if we control the ball in post-clearance as we have when we've been at our best, we'll limit their opportunities to utilise their small forward line approach and hit the scoreboard

it should be a cracking game between two top four sides

No Dixon, Marshall, Georgiades, Rioli or Fantasia. 

They’re good, but this is an opportunity.

If our midfield break even or win, with those outs in their forward line we should win.

I think there’s actually 5 legitimate top four sides this year. As ridiculous as that sounds lol.  lions, cats, pies, dees and power. So this is one of those 8 point games we def don’t want to drop. Big game!


Not confident about us stopping there scoring, think this will become a shootout which means the game becomes a coin flip

I do not want a cracking game, I want us to put 7 through them in the opening quarter and open up a commanding lead. Do not enjoy close games on the TV. Hope T Mac plays a blinder.

GO DEES! ❤️💙

Well done WCW and the Demon Army, that's an exceptional display of empathy transcending football.

Huh?

Apologies about the vagueness...

I was alluding to the constant feeling as a Demons supporter of not being 'confident' ,that never actually leaves us.  It just has at times, a different intensity, frequency and duration of symptoms, the etiology of course, being we were a very average team for many many years, and it doesn't matter about our modern success, it's still there.

Go Dees

😄

At the very least EO 🙂, at the ground you can see exactly what's about to unfold.

what's everyone's thoughts on our current Game plan of conceding clearances to win the ball back in these conditions?

I don't think they go in thinking they are conceding the clearances. With one less in there, do you mean, there is a good chance of not getting it out? We have some good players in close, and our spread from stoppage with outside runners is an improvement from a few years ago. I reckon our problem with the out-number, is it makes it easier for the opponents to tackle, get a spill then win the ball. We are good at getting first use, and I trust our structures to get the ball out when the game is on the line.

  • 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?
