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, like last week when we looked completely on in the first 10 mins then proceeded to [censored] the bed for the following 3.5 quarters? :P

    As mentioned previously I will bail you out WCE -don’t hold back.

     

    Glad Jvr is back. Surely Fritta is due for a bag or Kozzie?

    Come on fwds do your job. Same to Mids. Fire up 

    I suspect we will be competitive for three quarters and probably beaten in the last.

    We have certainly painted ourselves into a corner talking this one up.

    Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

    Classic Demonland.

    Lol, mate, you do the exact same thing.

    True

    hopefully the players had their pillows fluffed last night.

    Not a gambler but noticed just now Dee's firming still. 

    Fascinating

    Apparently the club took heed to last weeks issues and the boys are getting a mani and pedi as we speak. 
     

    The bookies are worried about being out of pocket after seeing the red and blue nail polish being delivered by Uber. 🤭

    No doubt all the Pies morons at the ground will be in full [censored] mode.

    Huge game.

    With our insipid performance last week we have put ourselves under huge pressure - both in terms of our effort levels being rightfully knocked all week and the need for the four points.

    But the pies also desperately need a win to keep in touch with the 8.

    We played poorly in our previous losses, but the freo game was different.

    Understanably, there has been some strong comments and condemnation on dl this week. 

    But i dont take anything from last week in terms of our game plan, sytems, personel and lines. 

    Apply that level of effort and any meaningful analysis is superfluous.

    But this is goody's 8th season as coach and that was the only time under goody that we appeared to give up. 

    They have earned the benefit of the doubt.

    But they get that benefit just once. 

    I'm super excited. 

    I am firmly of the view that in terms of method our plan is to revert to our normal method, with improvements to our turnover game, come the end of the season.

    I think we will revert to that model today. Forward half, contest based, win the inside 50 count football (and go back to a more transition based game against the roos).

    Basically the same model we employed the last time we played the pies.

    And I suspect we have long set ourselves for this game, and planned accordingly in terms of our high performance program.

    I hope I'm right. We will know if I am pretty early I reckon. 

    Dees by 27.

    From our named fwd line of Jvr, Fritta, Petty, Chandler, Kozzie and Anb we have averaged 40 points.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Tmac moved again. Something has to change 

    Don't share your optimism Binman. Wheels are off for mine. Can't see us kicking a winning score. Pies by 10 goals.

    Carlton also 2nd on the ladder playing our exact 2023 game plan but with some better forwards. Just shows it still goes alright. Will be great to see the contest and territory game back today.

    we have Turner as well. no need to stress! 😬

    for the Pies, only Schultz and Daicos bros got multiple goals last week

    Just listened to Richo on SEN.

    He didn’t say this in so many words but it felt as though there’s a concession from the club that we’ve overreacted from our 2 finals (where we dominated in either scoring shots or entries) and that we’re quite frankly struggling to adapt to a game plan focused on connectivity.

    Be interesting if we’ve drawn a line in the sand of if we persist with whatever we’re doing.

    We are a curious mob, us passionate footy fans

    Many dees fans are hoping we go back to a game plan that last year many hated and wanted to see the back of.

    This is better than listening to BT.

    One of the true highlights of following this club was this blokes post match interview.

    Please just play for each other and do this for Gus.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
