  1. Continued from page 26 ...... Be warned, the content below is not suitable for MFCSS to read, walk away please. I'm Guessing Beveridge's plan for the game could be like this: 1 Keep attacking on our right side as much as they can; 2 Save the rotation for the lefties mainly; 3 Keep making some ready-made righties (who can play in different positions) swap positions between their right side and left side, in order to give their right side's righties an opportunity for a breather. This way, they can keep injecting some new energy into their left side, keep pressure on our right side, make it as an one-side energy-consumption game. You don't have to beat a team as a whole, yon can beat a part of the team to win a game. Hopefully, we have a ready-made plan for this potential situation. Go Maxy, go Dees!
  2. At the bottom was WB line-up for Prelim (vs PA), sorry for the inconvenience. The highlighted 9 players are lefties. Lefty key forward 17 Josh Bruce wasn't there because of the injury. Interchange 13 Schache is a full forward, 37 Roarke Smith is a mid/def. Check out each one of the 9 lefties' on field position. It's well known Clarkson loves lefties, Beveridge once was his assistant coach 2012--2014 (Clarkson's three-peat 2013--2015). You might like to read this article "Foot fetish that won Hawks a flag" (sorry, I failed to add the link on). It said: "If you compared all the left-footers and all the right-footers in the competition, the average kicking efficiency of left-footers was over 3 percent better."......”Coming out of defence, the Hawks almost always exited stage left.”......“Attacks were mounted from there, with Melbourne often helpless to stop the precise kicking.” Back to WB, among the 9 lefties, 7 of them are mainly attack-lefties, playing as a mid or a forward. In my view, the best way for them to launch an attack is through their left side, to get more lefties involved in a play better - which they did just like that in Prelim. I believe their lefties’ line-up for Granny will be very similar to the one displayed at the bottom. From each game’s line-up, 15 Duryea has played 24 games out of 25 this year so far, 6 games as an IC, 16 games on right side, only 2 games on left side--Rd 9 and Prelim (both vs PA). 29 Hannan has played 16 games out of 25, 4 games as an IC, 8 games on right side, one game in central, 3 games on left side--Rd7 vs Richmond; Rd19 vs Melb (he actually played on right side that night) and Prelim vs PA. What I like to say is had they used the line-up for the Prelim against us in Rd11 and Rd19, we would have had much more headaches. If you watch the replay of those 3 games--their Prelim, Rd11 and 19 against us--you could see the difference, they launched much more attacks through their left side in Prelim with good results. AFL website/Match offers the replay videos. In Rd19, a WB’s goal at 3ndQt 7:30 (replay time, not Ch7’s remaining time on screen) and another WB’s goal at 4thQt 17:59--showed you how hard it is to defend a gang of lefties in front of your goal square. The 1st one was through 33-21-29-38(a righty)-33-17, the 2nd one was through 11-21-4. 4 or 5 lefties like Viney or Kozzie type might have been able to stop that chain of play. Lefties know other lefties' tricks better. At 3ndQt 29:57 and 4thQt 9:50, Viney showed us how good a lefty he is, marvelous! Is kozzie a lefty or righty, does the answer even matter? have them in our team, just give you a wonderful feeling. Go Viney, go Kozzie, go the mighty Dees!

  4. We shall not underestimate WB by even one cent, they are the most dangerous team under coach Luke Beveridge. For a win in Grand Final, they are willing to fight you till death -- this will be their main weapon on show, do we have that same willingness ( I know Viney has got one)? If we don't have, don't want to fight at that level, there won't be a happy ending for us. At this stage, the games played between these two sides in H/A season don't count much.
  5. Tell her the government announced Stage 5 lock down starting from midnight tonight for 2 weeks, the parents have to be isolated in they home in different rooms, you are going to look after the kids.
  6. Ken Hinkley: I feel your pain. Chris Scott: I feel your pain, too. Ken Hinkley: Let's talk about it ... Chris Scott: I ... I... just want to cry ...
  7. Ken Hinkley is a good Home and Away season coach, that's just about it.
  8. Port shall not wave white flag, run hard, keep fighting, what ever the margin is, WB may run out of steam in 4th quarter.
  9. Choked in 1st quarter, unbelievable! That's why I always want us to play PA. If WB won, have 2 weeks break, they will be a force.
  10. No worries. Give him another one year extension, he could be in the Grand final team of year 2022. In past 20 years, Hawthorn was the only one team which won the minor premiership and Premiership Cup in 2012, they then went on to win their next 2 Premiership in 2013 and 2014. Are there anyone willing to say that's Hawthorn, they can but Demons can't? Most likely we are going to win this year's Premiership, we will have very good chance to win next year's as well. It's our time! By the way, why so many people all over Australia, including a few of Geelong support, PA support and WB support love to see Demons to win this year's Premiership? because many of us still in the hard time, people need fairytale.
  11. Thank you all the people who cheered Demons on in Optus Stadium tonight, wish you all have a very good weekend!
  12. I like these Mental Scars: Sat 22/9/2018 Prelim WC vs Melb Optus Stadium 121 : 55 Fri 10/9/2021 Prelim Melb vs Geel Optus Stadium 125 : 42 Go you good thing, Dees!
  13. Dawn kicked a goal after the siren . . . Dawn won the coin toss. It didn't feel like the 1st quarter of Prelim, more like the 5th quarter of Rd 23, didn't it?

  15. Just remember, our team is rising, we haven't seen the best Demons yet ...
  16. Rd 23 Geelong vs Melbourne 77 : 81 GMHBA stadium This was what they did to us in details in that 2nd quarter: From 19:59 Hawkins' goal to 28:12 Rohan's goal, there were 5 goals in 8+minutes! Our team as a whole had never experienced that kind of "burst" from our opponents before, some of our player were simply shocked and got lost ... I trust our current team, I believe they would learn the lesson, they would be able to handle the situation better, even much better next time around.
  17. No, if you don't mind. Both Demos and Port Adelaide have very good opportunities to reach the Grand final, if we happened to meet them there, I'm so confident we can, we will beat them ( I watched the replay of the whole match of Rd 17 between these 2 teams last night). By the way, I'm a little concerned Cats and Dogs, they are capable to give us some surprises.
  18. Sorry, didn't cast the vote. I don't have a clear preference. What I'd like to see is a hard-fought and hard-won, margin within 5 points game. Rohan kicked 3.3 somehow, Hawkins kicked 1.2 and superstar Cameron kicked 0.5. Captain Selwood and Co. got caught 5 times for their skillful hand ball pass -- throw -- they did it to us in Rd 23, Selwood's one resulting in Hawkin's 3rd goal.
  19. I'd say we still have room for improvement. I believe the real Demons will be coming next year. They might look like such: when they play weaker teams, game over by half time; against good teams, got total control by 3rd quarter. They'd win more1st quarters. They'd kick more goals then behinds.
  20. Great win! Thank you all Demons supporters in Adelaide Oval, thank you all Demons supporters in SA, let's all enjoin a new journey in a new season!
  21. It'd be a huge test for Demons. But not like Brisbane, we haven't been able to play a game in a "live" stadium for quite sometime ... ok, we had one in Rd21, in a "Boo ..." and " lighting strike" stadium, and we won, didn't we? The outcome of tonight's game will be all depend on how much they -- our supporters in Adelaide Oval -- want from Demons, if they really want Demons to win, you bet, Demon will just win for them! Go our supporters in Adelaide Oval, go Dees!
  22. Some of our supporters want Demons to win minor premiership. I believe if we really want it, we can and will win it. But personally, I'd prefer we play Port in Adelaide next week because they had a tough game last night. On the other hand, Brisbane should have a comfortable win over Eagles today, they might give us more hard time next week. Jackson's two years contract extension will be finished in the end of 2022. Wish our club could offer him another five years extension this year. I believe Jackson got something special, I could see two premiership cups coming our way within 5 years -- with him in our team. Go Jackson, go Dees!
