Strange Feeling ...

Of course we can bloody win it weren't you guys watching yesterday

If the machine can stay in that gear and the boys can keep their confidence up they can give anyone a shake

You don't kick 9 goals to 2 in a quarter if you're rubbish

not being pessimistic but rarely do you lose consecutively by 100 points, or lose 6 in a row if your any good...

Guys i got a strange feeling that we might upset the crows at AAMI stadium.

Does anyone besides me feel this feeling?

I do.

Just a little, but I do.

Hmm.... reasons for feeling positive.

PJ listed to play for Sandy this week.

Ditto Whelan.

Cale Morton to get a week to rest his bones.

Bailey will understand AAMI and have a better than average familiarity with the Crows, too.

And who knows what a two-week break to think about the fact that we really can win games will do to our playing group. They might just be ready to go hard.

And unrelated but still positive - people are signing up as members. The club said "sign up, you're needed" and people are bloody well signing up.

Demons fans are legends. We sign up even when it's hell.

Edit: Here's something else that is interesting. Adelaide wins this season have been -

West Coast. (before anyone realised just how much they suck)

Port Adelaide. (at the time, they sucked)

Fremantle. (ahem)

Carlton. (whatever)

North Melbourne. (who really seemed inept last week)

I'm getting the feeling a little more, now.

Earlier on the week, Dean bailey says If the other teams aren’t training and we are, then that’s our chance to sneak up on them.

If we start off well we will get beaten by 10 goals and I would take that anything under that margin will be a miracle and they usually don't happen 2 games in a row. If we don't start off well it will be another 100 point hiding.

bailey also said he was studing their defence and thought he could break it down.. to be honest the crows were never a powerhouse at kicking goals just a damn mean defence .. i think we break even in the middle, their forwards and our backs should be about even too, so long as rivers is in charge, as for our forwards aussie is a gun by the looks of things at reading the ball off a pack.. miller is good at making packs fall over..so play him deepthen its up to ourr boys to run run and keep running..so the main difference will be the crowd and their supporters.. everyone heard the speil about how our supporters really lifted the guys in the last quarter..lets just hope we jump them early then its like a ghost town there lol..

Go Dees- 4 point winners

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
