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 😀

    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

    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.

    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 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

      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.
