Preview Changes for The Prelim

[DJMac]

Some Freo fans on the Demons board are saying they will go the game and wear Demons scarfs....Nothing better to do on their weekends?

Let Transperth know to put some early buses on.

A big Lol at Melbourne shock-jock Neil Mitchell, declaring Optus stadium prelim final an unfair advantage,
citing the travel and crowd noise..?? Welcome to what the West has been dealing with for decades?
Welcome to the Thunderdome Neil...!!

I know its not Simmo's or anyone at the clubs job to say it but seriously would love one of them to take the piss out of Mitchell and mention how we get that treatment at the MCG in finals.

No, it's not that. It's so they can go to a game without having to wear purple.

Does anyone else think that the purpose of the 'Melb have to travel' media noise is actually to incite a response from WCE supporters...?

Doesn't sound like there's any Dees supporters who are concerned about travel other than within the media. It's a slow news week for WA AFL people, and sounds like the sort of nothing story that'll get eyes on ads regardless of its truth value.

Simmo been a bit frosty lately with Basil on the TV news....

Reading between the various news articles from 'over east',
Demons aren't hiding injuries,
aren't battered and bruised from last game,
aren't affected by 3 finals weeks in a row,
aren't phased about travel,
will embrace the stadium noise factor,
and are ready to go and looking forward to the challenge....everything else is white noise?

expect a confident team to rock up and play hard ball, nothing less!
and if they're not up to the big gig on the day, or just a touch off their game,
let's hope Eagles bring home the roadkill...

I can see our forward line causing them heaps of trouble as long as they can stay unknocked out.

Reckon we’re in their heads already. Melbourne players have mentioned the crowd and the weeks break we’ve had. Negative thoughts from the outset and almost putting excuses in place already. We can rattle them if we start well

Yes we should forfeit the game because people like Robert Walls and Gary Lyon think we will lose.

we have well overachieved on walls predictions - he knows soooo much

Pity it is the GF- we could nominate Billy Brownless to present the trophy for old times sake.

 

[Chris_6678]

I feel they are being quite cocky too. Just finished listening to Angus Brayshaw on his podcast and he just talks like they got it in the bag.

I get that they have beat us twice here already but in both those games we were structurally all over the show. It is any wonder we scored so highly as we did in both those games.

Gov & Schoey down back this time allows us more seniority to handle the likes of McDonald and Wiederman. This also allows Jetta & Hurn more freedom to attack from down back then be defensive.

Also JK and Darling back allows us to have two focal points and if they dont work the likes of Rioli and Ryan to crumb at their feet and kick a few goals.

I would have Cripps sacrifice his game and tag Hibberd who is their attack backman. Cripps is fit and quick and could do the job. We have enough scoring options to allow Cripps to play this way.

If they do try to Tag Yeo that will allow Shuey to be more dynamic.

Now Hutchings HAS to play at his best here and just tag and annoy Oliver.

From recollection: constant bouts of concussion.

 

[MIKE85]

One serious concussion from ending his career wasn’t it?? I’d be wearing a helmet too if I was him, if it means allowing to keep playing and not worrying about getting knocked out (not sure how much the helmet would actually help, maybe it’s a bit of a subconscious thing too that helps him feel more confident about it all)

This is a fairly ordinary post buddy, even by your standards.

 

[Jay1986]

Should see the number of freo floggers on Melb boards.....and some have brought tickets to game (saw one at QF in floggers guernsey and magpies scarf, he got his just deserts from crowd when he left with few minutes left!!!)

Ps the amount of melb supporters spewing about cost airfares on their boards........one got a bit touchy about the lack of GF wins compared to us in ones lifetime, so that should justify a reason to complain about cost...go figure

Fair enough did you hear what he said about us? Reckons its gonna be a walk in the park

Isn't your whole shtick that it'll be a walk in the park for them too though?

To protect his ingrown toenail Id say.

If we can get supply to our forward line...
am throwing out mixed signals the closer we get to game day...nerves.

 

[Dusky]

I honestly think most Melbourne supporters are just excited to have a legitimate excuse to leave their depressing little state

Yeo is a superstar!

I'm fairly confident - the biggest threat is we shit the bed.

Don't listen to the media hype from the Vic lads - Give those Dee's hell from the moment they land, hound their team bus, wake them in their hotel, boo them onto the ground. Don't let them get comfortable.

So do we have a consensus yet on who is going to trigger the fire alarm at the hotel on Friday night?

Oliver with his hair, I'd say.
