Pre Match: Pies v. Dees - all comments please

[melliot]

Nice one Dave. Hope the exams went well. Were there any AFL game preview questions? Reckon you would have aced them! LOL.

Will be interesting if we can get our defense to hold up a bit better and restrict their scoring more so than previous weeks.

We still seem to be leaking too many goals. And it seems to be done with multiples. Would like to see us control this better.

Interesting, that we've lost all the low scoring games and won all the free flowing high scoring games.

At the start of the year, you would susspect the reverse.

1 exam down, 2 to go melliot.


Yer it seems when we go into lock down mode, we really struggle to score...yet when we play to win we have far too many scoring options to contain.

We should look at playing more attacking against the Saints and Cats

Currently the Dees forward line is pretty ordinary and will be for a few more weeks, at least until Liam Jurrah returns. However, don't underestimate their midfield, which is full of very talented youngsters in Scully, Trengove, Grimes, Gysberts as well as the mercurial Aaron Davey. However, they lack the depth to back these guys up with rotations. Our forwards should be able to monster the Dees, so I predict a 10 goal plus victory.

The depth is huge, the injury list is not (touch wood everyone), a few defenders still down on form (Shaw, Maxwell), a forward-line that's still an experiment. I can't wait 'til it all clicks. Could Monday be that day?

I'm tipping the Pies by 64, but it could be 60, or 56...55...39...or as little as 26. Whatever the margin, we must hurt them, give them some mental scars.

Melbourne will once again be a huge rival of ours, and a premiership threat in the coming decade. Lets begin haunting them now.

Great read once again DaVe86 but

this

Johnson

and this

foot-speed

should never be put in the same sentence. His legs might pump like pistons but they're taking tiny steps.

I will be happy with a win with any margin. Although, I do like to relax a bit in the last Q. So a 6+ Goal lead would be nice.

Like the relaxing 7 goal lead we had against the Doggies eh Melliot

I've got no nails left from that one !!!

good point john...everyone jump on Melbourne now

[WhyPhilWhy?]

Just got to find a way to stop Davey setting them up to go through the corridor...

Mr Wellingham - over here a minute. You see that guy over there with the 70's hairdo? That's Mr Davey. I want you to consider yourself his wallet for the rest of the day.
