Frothing to see the mighty dees run out this evening. Let's go

Itโ€™s game day baby. Pumped for three in a row!

Go Dees.

SN34

 

Got down to Casey today at 11.00 today and there were a handful of spectators in the ground and the gates were ajar. Missed all but the last minutes of the scratch match. The players then had running and some ball work drills. The players there that I picked up were Billings, Adams, Verrall, Campbell, Fullarton, Mentha, Brown, Johnson, Woey, Kentfield, Culley and a few others, Apparently ( according to a trainer) Jeffo copped a knock in the scratch match and was nowhere in sight

I think we might have a set back tonight.

If the game were at the G weโ€™d be winning our third consecutive game where we have a 6-6 record since round 11 last year. Plus weโ€™re a better team than them.

However away from the G we have a 1-8 record since that debacle in round 10 last year at Optus V WC. The stats are too obvious to ignore and itโ€™s plain to see that we canโ€™t or wonโ€™t play the style of footy and requisite pressure needed to win a game away from the G.

Hope to be proven wrong of course.

Expecting a Tim Kelly masterclass. That guy always plays well against us.

Also, I mentioned this in another thread, but I get the feeling that Harley Reid will be pumped up for tonight considering he was at the forefront of our demolition around this time last year.

Curtailing the influence of those two will go a long way towards a Demon victory.

I think Reid is playing for a change of clubs back home.

As in trying to show his credentials, or deliberately being so difficult to work with they'll trade him?

The latter.

We need to clamp down on Waterman as he could have a field day against us without May. He is the danger man for tonight.

Really liked the use of Viney in a run with role against the opposition's best over the past two weeks.

Just as an explosive game by Reid will lift WC and the crowd, multiple additions of Harley Reid to the "Jack Viney made me cry" thread will lift the Dees and deflate WC.

With Oliver out and Viney (perhaps) playing a defensive role, this is the game for Petracca - whose form has been solid - to get back to his gaming-winning best.


Letโ€™s try and kick 6 goals in the last Quarter Demons

Finish a Team offโ€ฆ.

If this plays out then Goodwin should walk tonightโ€ฆ

If we have any semblance of pride, the MFC wins by 36+

Watching Wines play ruck for Port today is there any chance we put Langford in as a backup ruck when Maxy needs a rest? Heโ€™s a tall lad and strongly built, might work? Iโ€™d prefer not put Petty in there.

No

Did May participate in the Captain's run yesterday?

No idea but I reckon he plays.

Not sure why theyโ€™d fly him over to Perth if he was under substantial enough doubt.

If he wasnโ€™t under a cloud and he injured himself at the captains run then surely he wouldโ€™ve been withdrawn from the squad from now?

See what happens.

The 1-8 wasnโ€™t against wc though, outside a repeat of last year this game shouldnโ€™t present any issues, plus if u want to talk pressure and stats just look at wc this year they would love to be us

Actually our current 1-8 record away from the MCG included the WC game of round 10 last year.

Bo Allen - certainty for the rising star nom

Demons by 3 points

Dubdee to get a stomach ulcer

WC last game at home they lost to the bombers by 2 points They are fired up big time after being hammered in the media

Bombers beat us by 40 points so iโ€™m not confident at all

Iโ€™d be delighted with a 1 pt win

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.ย

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
