Lever not in your best 22?

I still understand your point tho. We should win today. No excuses. 

Forgot Lever.

 

 

It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

I have no idea where you got that intel from, but regardless, professional footballers making very good money shouldn’t be having a go at the club and putting up a stinker of a performance, because they aren’t staying at the Ritz. We won a flag when the players were in a hub for weeks on end. 


Freo played the same ground and probably stayed in the same or similar accommodation. Managed to win by 90+ points to keep their finals chances alive. 
 

If that really is the reason for the loss, and I very much doubt it is, then we have far bigger problems.

    I still remember last year when they beat us in the later round & as we we were leaving the ground some dim wit Collingwood feral yells out Melbourne fans can catch the train to Mount Buller station.  

    I didn't have the energy to tell him it doesn't exist.

    I just can't see how the Dees will kick a winning score. Forward line is a mess.

    I put money on the filth. I hope to lose that money.

    Well all now the first 1 minutes if Melbourne are going to turn up.

    Our bottom 6 players will determine if we win today.

    Billings, Laurie, Turner, Howe’s, Chandler & Tom “Free Fallin” Petty.

    What odds did you get for the team you despise the most? 
    A lot of money has come for the Dees the last 12 hrs.

    I got on at $1.94 last week. They went to $1.90 (favourites), but now $1.96.

    Demons now $1.84 on Sportsbet.

     


    Magpies have 7 top liners out. 

    we have 1

    We should win easily

    unless we play heartless footy like last week

    We will learn a lot today. Another meek performance and we've got a long road to hoe. 

    A genuine four qtr effort needed. Guts and determination before all else.  

    Go dees 

    Apparently Howe is playing forward

    Finally playing where he was recruited to play

    I'm sure we could all pass the hat and soften the blow( not on Maynard of course,).

    I'm not sure the lads will go after Maynard today. It will be interesting to see what will happen. Have they been given directions to just play the ball or will Goody use the incident to rev them up?

    There is the distinct possibility weim i will be sidetracked by the Maynard thing but it will probably be worth it. A blokes career was stolen from him so it warrants recompense. My monies on JV or JvR and a rare outburst from CP. 

     

    Would be great to see him flattened but in reality the real revenge is in winning the game, otherwise they'll be in their rooms singing their song and we'll be doing whatever losers do

    From a source very close to the players. And yes we do have much bigger problems

    Win and we go back into finals contention and top 8.

    Lose against a depleted Collingwood and we make the journey towards September even harder. 

    Up to the players now.

    If that is the cause of last weeks performance that is as soft as butter and an absolute disgrace, surely not the cause.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
