What They Are Saying at Westlakes

Probably the most boring read of any game preview I've come across.  Up to page 12 and still not a word for next week’s game.  Their fans have all but given up on the season and now turning on a few of their players. 

  • Thank you Rory, you've been a wonderful player, but shouldn't be selected again
  • Changes??? I couldn't care less anymore.  The only changes I'm interested in are changes at the end of the year.
  • Continuity matters. Still mathematical finals chance. No change. 
    • That will absolutely loose me
  • Why bother even starting this thread.  when we know that sloane, sholl, murphy, mchenry are going absolutely fxxkn nowhere.  they wont be dropped. Not a fxxkn chance.
  • I would think so highly of Rory if he announced his retirement this week. Or that he didn't want to be picked, and will play 2s for the rest of this year. And maybe next.
  • I have no idea what they can do with Sloane. He's miles of it, but there seems to be some delusion about where he's at.
  • Powaa has no problem dropping their captain. Sloane isn't even captain and the club is scared of the reaction from the Facebook brigade. Fmd.
  • I can't wait for next February where we argue which spud deserves his spot in the best 22 only for the happy clappers to talk about what amazing depth we have.
  • We push Murphy from the forward line up to the stoppages because it's the only thing he's good at..  The other team doesn't care about him because of his poor skills so we gift them an extra in defence.
  • If Crouch or Himmelberg are playing on Sunday I'm not going

Poor Rory!!  Imagine if we had talked about Jonesy like that.  No respect being shown to Sloane.

I'll check back in a few days and hope they have something more interesting to say.

    I’m surprised they know any of their players names.

    Sloane has given his heart and soul to that club and has had some big personal off field tragedies to overcome at the same time. 

    To think his own supporters can talk about him like he’s yesterday’s trash is pathetic. 
    Then again, they don’t build them smart over in SA.

    Disappointed there wasn’t a post about how we’ll crush them or about how overrated we are.

    They don't even realise there is a game this week let alone who they will be playing!

    Good! Let them forfeit the game, we'll gladly take the 4 points plus rest our players 👍🏻

    Honestly it looks like Demonland pre 2021. And even sometimes since.

    But as much as I despise that club, I do feel for the fans... a bit. That club self destructed in a big self inflicted way, so I don't blame them for irrational anger.

    Maybe they should listen to the Melbourne theme song over and over again in preparation for the match?

    Sounds ridiculous but  I still rate the Crows. They run like scalded cats, have a decent midfield and sometimes an effective forward line. Sort of game where if we are slightly off we'll be licking our wounds. I reckon they are as good or better than the Don's, Freo and GWS and we know we fared against them...

    Doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

    A good team, who have genuine leg speed, quality across all lines, potent forward line as evidenced by their crazy good percentage, a strong sytem dialled to run and carry like the pies and buy in.

    They won't be as flat against us as  they have been for the last couple of games, and I expect them to be running on top of the ground on Sunday and present a real challenge.

    My expectation is they will attack, and look to run at as with handball chains and wave running a la the pies.

    If they can beat us or port next round, I think they’ll make the 8.

    I don't think they'll beat us, but I reckon they're a huge chance of beating Port, as Port will struggle defensively with  the crows speed of ball movement from the back half (as do we if not on).

    Crom are a good mid-table team. They're falling off as the year progresses but they looked really good in patches. Almost close to top 4 quality. Suspect we will (should) deal with them easily this week. But I rate them with GWS and Hawthorn as clubs I'm not generally worried about but am still kind of sort of worried about (see: Alice Springs game).

    Yes, Crows are all about meh meh meh - possibly because too many are of German descent and don't know how to spell ME. ( Hopefully, the same doesn't apply to you. You certainly don't look German...)

    I can confirm this. I was born in Adelaide and last night I was looking for my phone for a good 2 minutes while holding it.

    Agree, no such thing as an easy game for us for the rest of the season. Even North will be tricky, my understanding is that Clarkson resumes control when we play them.

    Hope we get a lot of supporters turning up this Sunday. Almost embarrassing at times the way Choco, Goody and even Petracca are almost begging for fans to turn up and make some noise 

    In the meantime…….One game at a time.

    • 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?
