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

Slipper? SLIPPER!!!! How about hobnailed boot, whatever that is, sounds painful though. 😛

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.

A pies supporter wouldn’t be that clever

True

hopefully the players had their pillows fluffed last night.

Nowhere to hide today.

Everyone under the spotlight.

Should be interesting.

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. 🤭

I have a ticket that I’m not using today. DM me 

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.

Just get the job done Demons. Hit them hard when the opportunity is there. Real Hard 

IMG_6523.jpeg

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.

If we win by any amount, it will be a win for the ages.

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.

Not sold on Laurie.

Gets a full game today .

 

Just [censored] win. I cannot deal losing to them again after what happened last year 😡

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.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
