It is such a great feeling now, going to any game knowing we have a good chance of winning. The Premiership in 2021 changed everything - I am generally much more relaxed about footy in general. 

I can't see the Cats attack being as potent as it has the last 7 rounds. Our defensive organisation rarely allows teams more than 80 points, often under 65. 

Sparrow to run with Myers.

Petty to run with Stewart.

Kozzie, Chandler & Fritsch will be our major goal scorers.

 

 

Geelong's midfield looks under-powered with Dangerfield injured and Parfitt and O'Connor "managed". I see both of them are named as emergencies, I expect at least one to be a late in.

Seem to be managing their players well like they did in their 2022 flag year. 

 

Need a collective lift in the midfield and by Petty. Negating Stewart and Cameron will go a long way to beating them. 

Personally, Cats are one of my most disliked teams so all the sweeter beating them, so get it done Dees 😉😁 Gawn, drop another 5 on them please 🙏 

JVR to clunk a massive pack mark early in qu 1 to get us rolling ❤️💙


How good is to have a game vs Geelong NOT in Geelong (first time since R4, 2021) 

I'm interested to see how they play Petracca today. O'Connor not being named would suggest they aren't going to have anyone sit on him, but after the relative success Brisbane & Richmond had I'm curious to see what they have up their sleeve. Surely they wont let him run around doing as he pleases?

But what will be our excuse then?

Ours, not the teams.

This could be either that or the game that drives the stake into the Demons heart.

Than next week..

Almost 50 /50..losing to every genuine contender.

Yeah it's a tough draw and a big fortnight.

If you want to know how the game will go, i’ll fill you in:

we will play tough strong footy. blood sweat and tears will slowly move the ball fwd through stoppages and eventually get a goal after 10 minutes of pressure

Cats will then get a goal on the rebound in 15 seconds

and repeat

🖐️🖐️🖐️RED AND BLUE HEART OF SATURDAY NIGHT
 
Rather than ski we're all here at the 'G.
.
You can have all your Hawk'ins and keep your JC squawk'ins
 
Meanwhile we'll just let the ball do all the tawk'ins.
 
 
Tracc and Jack will smack the Cats around the packs.
 
Take it to the Max, centre, forward or backs, Gawn is giving them stax
 
 And Clarry's ridiculous parry even delighted Prince Harry.
 
 
JVR leaps like a demented Roo escaped from the zoo.
 
Fritter's outrageous banana kick is really a charmer.
 
Kozzie will o' the wisp kicks true thru the sticks for another six.

 

Mr Ed it is said on a another thread is at his best without the rest.
 
Disco's red and blue brisk is ever so slightly risque.
 
Oops! Rick and May's domestic has just gone public.
 
 
If it's more about loyalty rather royalty, Caleb's already a celeb.
 
Rivers dismissive shimmy will gives them the shivers.
 
Listen hear Bud we'll back in Judd and the boys
 
 to beat the rest of the crud from the Kardinia Park mud.

You are not alone.

tell ya what an insipid performance like last week will see us getting torn a new one , need to be intense right from the start 

I have thought long and hard about this game. I will be there tonight, only a good first quarter will see us get the chocolates. Even then I don't see our forward line kicking a winning score. Sadly cats by 3 goals.

On last week’s first half perhaps, not on the second half.

We’ve come a long way in the last 10 years when we can label a 43 point win as insipid.

The cats have managed to get rid of their older players and have young group coming through.  Getting Henry from the pies was a good get.

i do not think we will win, 3 goals I think, 

what I want to see is us making changes to combat their strengths and trying positional moves to create run for us chaos for them.

tonights game means little in the season results. Get some severe learnings. 
and apply it correctly and with heat in September. Don’t give away too much game plan tonight.

i would like a good hard start in the first quarter!

Go Dee’s 

Can't stand Geelong, their ridiculous jumper and dunghole stadium. A repeat of 2021 would make my month. Go Dees.

I haven’t watched any Geelong games this year but Blicavs has been effective previously

Dangerfield being out gives Melbourne a real chance tonight. Carn the Dees!

Want to see a statement tonight, Have had plenty of of time to look at them last week , get the matchups right, set the press. 2022 too banged up, 2023 too many forwards injured, Swans game too hot Brisbane game too tired, Tigers first half terrible. No more reasons/excuses get the job done Demons.

Well this is a big one. 

I'm not sure how good the Scats are but ... neither am I certain how good we are. Consequently, your good old Uncle Bitter is sallying forth from The Manor tonight to find an answer.

I believe we will win this game on the strength of our superb defenders.

Dawkins has been quiet of late and , you would think due to fire, but if he escapes any flailing elbows, May will be too good.

There's been speculation about who takes care of Cameron but I reckon it has to be Tmac. He has the tank to run with him and the body work and nous to counter Cameron's expected advantage in agility.

Our mids will win ( Danger out helps ) and surely Viney is due for a big bone crunching impact game.

Forwards ??? Hopefully Petty finally finds some form and some goals. I'm not sure about Disco yet but if he can snag a couple in this setting we will know a lot more. Hopefully one, or ideally both of the above get into the game early as it will take some heat off Fritta and allow him to do what he does best.  He is our key forward.

Kozzie, as always, will have the defenders on edge and a couple of goals from the mids will also be welcome.

PS. Rohan is a prime goose.

Dees by 19 !!!

( A red and blue leather party follows at Romsey )

Two words: replacement [censored] buses. Yep, it’s our train line’s lucky weekend. 🤬

Allow plenty of extra time and a truckload of patience, coz you’re gonna need it. Same for going home afterwards.

Heads up, @Rab D Nesbitt!

 

I’m not even slightly worried about tonight. We’ll kick ‘em into the middle of next week! My irrepressible confidence is partly attributed to Goody’s presser (5%) but largely because I’m delusional (95%).

GO YOU MIGHTY [censored] DEES!

💙❤️💙🥳💙❤️💙

Enjoy the game everyone. Would be amazing to take a big scalp but I'm more focused on the performance and how the gameplan stacks up more than the result today. It's an exciting time.

  • 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.

    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?
