MELBOURNE is set to launch an all-out attack on the Western Bulldogs when the sides meet at the MCG on Friday night.
A week after St Kilda brought the slick Dogs undone with an ultra-defensive game plan, Demons forward Brad Green said his team would not follow the same path.
"I think tomorrow night is going to be a fast game. You've got two sides who are going to come out and play quick, attacking footy ... it's going to be exciting," Green said from Junction Oval on Thursday.
"We're certainly on the rise as a side, with the confidence and belief that we can go out there and play and be exciting.
"That's what we're about. We want to play exciting footy and [coach Dean Bailey] wants us to take the game on. Hopefully we can get people to want to come and watch us play footy."
So their priority is to entertian and not to win...??

In that case Mr Craig should seek a new form of employment - an AFL coach has 2 obligations only - develop the team and win games.SainterK wrote:It's an interesting point you make.
I heard the Adelaide CEO (?) talking on radio a couple of weeks ago, and he said Neil Craig understands he has an obligation to make the game entertaining as well as winning
Entertainment is what TV stations are supposed to try and provide.

Brad Green may regret his support for 'attacking footy' when the doggies are allowed to employ the same tactic which just happens to be their strength..degruch wrote:Should be 'good attacking footy', Doggies by 100+.

Like many on here I haven't been able to bring myself to watch the GF and doubt I ever will.Milan Faletic wrote:Yes, heard him say that...brilliant.joffaboy wrote:A great quote from Tom Harley

However I have no doubt it was a highly entertaining game for those who didn't barrack for either team. Close game between the top two teams etc etc. It was probably one of the best GFs in years.
But was it entertaining to us? Of course not!
To the serious supporter winning is absolutely everything and how we go about it - well I couldn't give a ..........
