Preview The Angus Monfries Memorial Cup (Round 4 vs Essendon)

[raman]

Pretty weird that the 39+ Essendon win that happened so easily just 15 games ago is paying that sort of price considering there has been no major change of fortunes for either team since that day. Unfortunately, it's a value bet.

Maybe the bookies know about our stupid junk time comebacks

Seriously though, last week we were up against an elite ruck in Martin feeding a pretty good midfield that can win lots of clearances and a side setup for speed forward of centre.

This week we're up against a mediocre ruck in Bellchambers feeding a slow as treacle midfield that has trouble against bigger midfields and a side setup for attack from half back.

Last week's game came at exactly the right time. Essendon might have had the fire lit under them for their performance, but so would have our players.

What’s Laverde up to these days? Thought he was gonna be a gun as a junior but now seems to have fallen into Ozzie Smith’s bottomless pit.

probably in there with the rest of our team

 

[HirdsTheWord]

After last weekend, i'm thinking this might be a painful game to watch.

for us or you?

 

[Power Raid]

for us or you?

For us

I think we’ll be smashed in the ruck and our midfield lacks pace.

Fortunately our defence has been solid, to date, and masked some of our issues. However, Daniher and Co might stretch our defence for height.

Also our forward line doesn’t feel as potent without Dixon or a tired leg Dixon. Marshall has been good but wingard, watts and Rockliff really need a spark.


Best of luck

Fingers crossed good Port shows up this week, we so often get bad Port at Etihad.

In Brazil, people say that footballers die twice; the first time is when they retire.

OP poster is highly appropriated.

So was Romario some kind of immortal?

Matthew Nicholls...

You should feel lucky. Guarantee you'll get the better end of his decisions. Have seen him pay approximately 5 free kicks to us in 8 years and about 52,565,568 against.

So was Romario some kind of immortal?

There are way worse cases (and better too). For instance, only among his contemporaries: Zé Roberto retired only last year at 42, playing great soccer until the end; while Túlio has retired at 44, but the last EIGHT YEARS were a joke.

looks a bit like iceman

 

[DonDraper]

Very concerned. Has 'unable to stop 5 goal run' and playing catch up written all over it for me. Prove me wrong, Port.

Matthew Nicholls...

LOL!

Can you see us losing a game this season?

The longer the week goes on....the less confident I am

Same. Perhaps my defensive mechanisms kicking in for one of those periodic poor losses. Has all the hallmarkings. Lets see if our list changes have truly made a difference. Inside coaches box worries me though.
