So who's making the sandwiches??

Okay, am arranging to sack work tomorrow to be there for the boys and am going to add to the social media snowball campaign now.

Let's do this.

Ill do it.

If we kick ten goals I'll be happy.

How anyone can blame any of our forwards for the last two weeks is beyond me. And a guy who spent ten minutes of the last quarter in the middle when the team was down by 120 points already has still played forward.

U think he's not trying? GTFO.

Great post.

I hope your dad takes a break from holing putts and sinking frothies on the big golf course in the sky to look down and see the night the Demons redemption began. 06/04/13.

wow this thread is a lot of garbage.

Watch the interview. Bloke said nothing wrong.

Now i remember why i never read these Jack Watts threads.

This thread simply describes players who have lost confidence.

When it is rediscovered, the players you remember will return.

We won a few in the first team but there were not many of them. It's really disapointing. It's like we're too reactionary at stoppages. Even if we get the thing we can't move it forward with any purpose.

Spoke to someone last night who is a relative of Malthouse, said that on THursday night and half time Malthouse told them to forget the game plan, take a man, and just friggin play.

We all know what happened next.

in: McDonald, Dawes, Terlich, Davey, Kent, Jetta

Out: Nicholson, GIllies, Sellar, Tapscott and Dunn

Watts gets one week to make up for that crap he dished up today.

Mark Neeld has robbed this football club of every ounce of confidence it had. Today was the most embarassing game I've ever seen the demons play (didn't see or watch 186).

I agree, the bugler has to go. It's never sat well with me.

I hate to admit it but the weight of numbers (experts) are saying the same thing, that Melbourne will finish last. I like all of you are hoping they are way off but at the end of the day I think we will all have to consider the fact that they are right and we may be disappointed once again.

People read into NAB cup form too much. We won't finish last, I guarantee it.

Yeah, I like Derm. Unlike most "experts", this guy actually knows what he's talking about.

And yes, he's arrogant, but he knows that, and is prepared to take the [censored] out of himself, which I find refreshing.

I have very little doubt we will explode out of the blocks.

Yeah coz we exploded out of the blocks so often last year!

I want to see us take the game by the scruff of the neck in the first 10-15 mins and get a few goals on the board. Like the Saints pre-season game but this time it'll be different because it will get the G going off.Get everyone on the edge of their seats. Get 25,000 people making the noise of 60,000 as Mitch Clark drags down a pack mark and converts to put us further in front.

That will breed confidence. And I honestly believe once this teams gets confidence, we are going to start being very competitive again very quickly.

C'mon boys, let's dominate early.

Sounds like Dawes and McDonald will be out

Why? Surely Gillies, McDonald, Frawley, Watts, Dunn and Garland is a feasible back 6? If a little top heavy...

I voted for Tapscott. There were a few games towards the end of last year where you could really start to see why the FD see him as a half forward type. Strong, good overhead, smart with the footy and very courageous. Now with a bigger fitness base, less injury concerns and more talent around him in the forward line, I can really see him taking a big step this year...

Best. Bump. Ever.

Stats dont tell the whole story but i would like to direct you to the link below, shows some handy info comparing the 2 players.

Wow, those stats are pretty surprising! The one most important is obviously the fact Nic Nat is about a year ahead of Jack in age and games played. So if we compare Jack at the end of this year to Nic Nat at the end of last, that will be a fairer comparison...

FB: Jetta - Frawley - Garland

HB: Watts - Gillies - Dunn

C: Terlich - N Jones - Grimes

HF: Sylvia - Pederson - Howe

FF: Clark - Sellar - Byrnes

R: Jamar - McKenzie - Viney

IC: M Jones - Rodan - Blease

Sub: Toumpas

Em: Nicholson, Tapscott, Kent

If we take more than 2 of Clark, Dawes, TMac, Trengove, Blease into the game we will not win. Clark Even rusty will command the best defender plus have others looking about. Blease can be subbed out if he runs out of puff.

Yeah I have a hunch tmac and trenners won't play. Obviously fitness will be the main factor here, but those guys can be covered.

Dawes, Clark and Blease, less so, due to the unique attributes they bring to the side.

This thread has me even more pumped for Sunday, which I didn't think was posisble. THanks guys.

Go Dees.
