I agree, it’s not a good fit, get a new glass 😳😂😜🤓. 
 

I woke up confident for a win tonight, but I am losing my confidence coming on here and reading other posts. The nerves are starting to kick in already 

The reality... and it is just a 'what is' to me,  is we could be anything atm.  Bit like a punch drunk fighter we're careering about seeming with no one in the bridgehouse.

This doesn't go unnoticed by oppositions and they play to our weaknesses.

We need to get back to a simpler method. We can start by cutting down the over-handballing. This smacks of indicisive hot-potato. We just don't have enough comensurate skilled artisans presently to carry off a style that's too clever, too cute. 

We seem rather devoid of confidence , though that might possibly be more me lol, and until the belief that doing X results in Y I really think we need to just keep to the basics. We may still lose but we might start rebuilding the style into a useful game.

We need to get the Engine running again before we attempt to change up Gears or put pedal to the metal.

    Love how they gave Kynan no.41. They gave this guy the same number when he started as well 😀

    Roll up, Roll up to the Can't Win Demonland Cup.

    Lose and all the doom spiral predictions are proven correct.

    Win by anything less than 124 points and all the doom spiral predictions are proven correct.

    Geez binman, I hope we win by 125 points. I’ve gone off watching games other than the Dees, and don’t want another self imposed sabbatical from Demonland.

    this

    they've been playing some decent footy for several weeks

    This is not true.

    We all know about last week - what obviously goes unmentioned is that whilst they played brilliantly for a half, they also played poorly enough in the second half to be outscored by 10 goals. 

    The week prior they led West Coast by 33 points in the fourth before coughing up the lead, and only getting it back after a goal given from the controversial Yeo holding the ball free. They also didn’t score a goal against West Coast until halfway into the second quarter.

    Prior to that was their bye, and prior to that they lost to Port by 10 goals.

    They’ve played 4 good quarters of football in their last two weeks, and arguably they’re the only 4 all year. 

    (Don’t worry, despite that, I’m still nervous, but my nerves are due to our form, not theirs).

    I can't be bothered with another DL implosion and will definitely be taking time out if that happens.

    We'll win tonight, maybe not super comfortably but we'll win and live to fight another day.

    Or... lose...and we will give critique as to why....and where that leads.

    Win.... and we'll have a look at what we did right.

    Either way..   look at the game....the result.. and move on.

    It's not really that hard surely ?

    That's down to the players/coaching.

    Time for next gen players to step up and drive the team 

    Kozzi, Rivers, Sparrow, McVee, JVR etc

    relying on the senior guys isn’t working 

    Step up boys. make the older guys follow you

    A few months ago you would have penciled this in as a percentage booster for the Dees but alas not so now. How quickly things can change in season. Still think the Dees will get the win despite North having the capability to play some good footy at times.

    Tempted to pop into the MCG tonight, reckon it will be a good game but I have a ticket to see Radio Birdman play tonight so I would probably have to leave early ... better check the set times at the Croxton 😁

    Maybe it's time Brimbank Council adopt the same rules that Greece has. Passport and bag check at all entry points. Problem solved.

    BTW been to Greece a dozen times. Never scared. Never been to St Albans. Thanks for the heads up.

    I tend to visualise a place on how nice sounding it's name is only to find it's nothing like that in real life (eg the Canary Islands). St Albans sounds like the bucolic English commuter town it's named after but I live close enough to know that's not entirely accurate. 

    On moving to Canterbury, in Kent a while back we went for a drive to Margate on Christmas Day to find a post apocalyptic seaside town housing refugees in run down terrace houses. It now has a Turner Contemporary gallery and a thriving creative and foodie scene though. Sittingbourne is a nice sounding place that is pretty horrible. Grimsby on the north east coast however is exactly as it say's on the tin.

     Bludd oath! Been that way for a while now, regretfully, for one reason or the other we've been culled time and again including sloppiness by learning exponents.

    Let us concentrate on 'mongrel', under containment, of course. See ball, get ball before anyone else, support with strength, go for it and rebound - recoil, repeat. 'Can' those who miss goals that should have been achieved. I think it is all called 'bravery'.

    It's no worse than numerous other suburbs in Melbourne. Youth lawlessness is a big problem in the second decade of the 21st century.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
