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

    Jeremy or Blake? 

    If Blake, I wonder Howes he'll go?

    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: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
