Preview Round 5 - Melbourne Demons v Brisbane Lions (Thursday, 11 April 2024 @ 7:30pm)

[Nunez]

Just quietly are Melbourne going as well as many of us think?

Lost to Sydney.

Have beaten Dogs, Hawks, Port and Crows.

They beat Port by 7 points, by kicking very straight. Port were very inaccurate and had half a dozen more behinds.

Melbourne are good.

Flagbane are the sleeping giant.

We have awoken.

Been going better than us to start the year. Atleast getting some wins.

They have been going consistently ok.
Where we have been going from very good to very bad and everything in between.

If we can go down there and bring our best for 4 quarters it should be a cracker of a game.

I don’t think they’re at previous years levels, very gettable.

I agree they’ve been going ok. Wasn’t meant to be a comment or comp to how we have been going. I think they’re very gettable.

Most definitely they are gettable.

Dogs are their bunnies as well

I don't really rate them at this point until they face good opposition once the sugar hit, wake up call, we'll show everyone from the drug issue has worn off and they still have the same problem.

As others have said we've played worse overall but we're due a big game here I feel.

It wouldn't matter. Rayner is going to redefine the meaning of 'Danster'' as he wipes the MCG clean with the Demons.

 

[BRAB]

This is the moment Cam Rayner will finally break out.

 

[bungalow_bill]

So the Dees current form is akin to a new coach bounce

He looks cooked after 5 mins of game time, similar to how Matho always looked.
His defensive running is an issue, he had a great period between 19 and 21 and was a good reason for our rapid rise but the speed of the current game has passed him by.

Ok - I’ll defer / concede on this one, but will cross my fingers.

Hopefully we can bring them down from their high.

 

[martinson]

This is the moment Cam Rayner will finally break out.

Fages will just say go into the centre bounce whenever you feel like it , go for your speccies , get angry and push the opposition around and trust your instincts at all times. Head to head with Petracca and bury him.

Done. 3 votes. Petracca benched. The breakout game on the big stage.

 

[martinson]

I actually don't think Cam was that bad last week. We were 10 in front so who cares.

We didn't need him then but this week we do.

[martinson]

Bailey showed a bit on the ball against North.

Hope he can do the same against this mob.

Bailey should be suited to the MCG if he gets on a roll.

This is the moment Cam Rayner will finally break out.

Someone’s going to get it right one day.

It’ll be a great day when Will goes to test

I heard a whisper that they're targeting round 9 or 10.

Which is earlier that anticipated. Anyway ,let's see.

"You Make Sure, THEY REMEMBER, the night THEY PLAYED THE TITANS !!! Cam Rayner got 30 disposals, 10 marks, 10 tackles and 3 GOALSSSS !!!!"

Posting this every week until Cameron has a 48 disposal 7 goal game.

Big chance on Thursday. Need a 4 quarter effort. No drop off this week. Dunkley tags Petracca, Berry (playing for his caree either at Brisbane or elsewhere) negates Oliver, and Lachie goes head to head with Viney. Joe goes for a big speccie early and gets the knee right into May, and Charlie get 3. Brisbane always win when he gets three. Game over. I’ll be there behind the goals, celebrating.

 

[FeastOrFamine]

We just had to put our dog down today, so I'm really hoping we manage to get the win on Thursday.

I think he's done the 7 goals hasn't he ?
