Melbourne v West Coast


Melb_2009

Recommended Posts

Watching the replay right and thinking who is worse between Melbourne or West Coast? :wacko:

Melbourne.

WCE still have 3 out and out superstars in Kerr, Cox and Glass, and probably better under 21 talent as well.

I got a feeling they have their eyes on this "superdraft" and a couple of WA boys namely Naitanui & Rich - dont be surprised if Kerr is traded and they try and load up on first round picks.

They lack quality KPP and leadership at the moment but their list is a lot better then ours.

I'd say WC are playing worse, but we are a worse team, based on our list compared to theirs.

They'd beat us by 5-6 goals if we played them tomorrow, even based on current form.

The eagles form is poor, but they have a much richer list than we do. They should be able to notch up wins against sides who travel to the west. WC will win at least 3-4 games more than we will this season.

Port has bounced back, it looks like the dunce teams in the afl will be WC, Essendon,Carlton, Freo and of course, the mighty dees.

Good news for us us we still get to play 4 of those 5 teams, we may just win a few (essendon have so many injuries that they should be considered a walk over).

If i were an eagles fan i would have less to worry about than a dees fan.

I'm young, but I've seen a lot of footy and we're playing the worst of any team I can recall ever seeing. Having said that I don't think we're too far away from turning it around. We have to remember that most teams go through a crap phase at some point, its part of the cycle. Hopefully all our crap years have come at once, so that we'll only spend 1 or 2 years more down the bottom before we return to finals footy. It happens to everyone, it just so happens that we're really, really bad at the moment.

Well, I tipped it to a bunch of my friends at the start of the year. I thought West Coast would be bad and Melbourne slightly better, but we're horrible and they're even worse. Wow. We have some stiff competition.

As long as our spirit never drops to the level i just saw West Coast's in that quarter. WOW

Even when they've played "well" this game, they've still looked slow and awkward

Well I kept seeing a melbourne jumper on those west coast players, they looked horrible and make the same stupid mistakes we have been doing, but add in the players that they are missing and they would be a whole lot better, they are still rabble tonight, good thing is carltank will win again :)

What's weird is they are playing on Subi liked WE played on Subi last year. Less than twelve months ago actually.

Crashing and burning in the AFL takes no time at all... building a side takes infinitely longer.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
