Matchday Thread - Demons v Power

[mikeod 21]

Tips, opinions, game day analysis.

I think it'll be a very hard game to win. Needs to be low scoring for the Demons to get up, and we need to see a return to the hard tackling, high pressure side we saw against the likes of Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs.

My tip: Port by 24.

I will be at the Bentleigh club for the game-hope to see a few demonlanders there in full voice.

Grey clouds rolling in.

Might benefit us. Thought we played pretty well in the wet against the dogs. The Power are not even close to the dogs in terms of class. That's what cost us in the end... a lack of class against the ogs. Would be happy to see slippery conditions.

Having said that, been up here in Darwin for a few days and the rain has been in short sharp stints. 5-10 mins at a time. I think it will be greasy regardless of what happens (due to humidity). Rain shouldn't affect the game much unless it occurs during the game for a prolonged period, which seems unlikely considering the pattern of the last few days.

Shall see you there in that case. I love screaming at that hopeless rear-projection TV they have up in the Members' Bar.

Yeah it's great ranting at a TV screen when the action is 1,000's of km's away!! But you just have to do it.

I have never seen a win at Bentleigh so i am hoping for a change of fortune

please just go to your local pub and watch it, it seems the bentleigh club is a bad omen for you

Yes i know, but like the team our away record must improve, plus the local pub never has the sound up.

We must win tonight!!!

I really should invest in a Foxtel subscription, but I hate the idea of having to pay for television WITH advertising! Plus, the atmosphere at the social club is always better than on the couch at home.

i think the conditions will favour the team with the more mature bodies tonight, as it did with the doggies game, that was the only difference that night we were clearly the beater team against the doggies

i have never been to the bentleigh club to watch a game, how is the atmosphere there? do many dees people get there to watch a game?

Yeah, we are usually up in the Members' Bar (ie. away from the plebs) with 100% Demons. Last few times there have probably been 20 or 30 there, but I would expect maybe a few more tonight!? Apparently they will be serving fingerfood and other nibbles at half time, which is pretty good as no entry is charged.

[Eth 4]

And if anyone knows how to watch the game without foxtel send me a PM also

Just post it here, I'm in the same boat as you

[Jaded No More 68,855]

I really hope we get off to a good start. If we do, we could definitely win this.

This year we've generally come out and played well the week after a poor loss, and Bate being out is not going to be so crucial given the conditions. If ever a forwardline of Jetta, Bennell and Aussie were going to win us a game, this is the week.

I'll try and post updates as I've got Foxtel.

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

Aussie, Nev, Miller and Morton to Play

Before you Jump down my throat.

You will find Warnock was a very very very late call. Bit sore, long flight and PA have a very short forward line. This one was late decision

And dont be surprised if Spencer doesnt play and Jetta does!!!!

*From a different thread*

Good work Bails.

[Jaded No More 68,855]

Bailey said on Fox Sports that Jurrah is another 4-5 weeks away, and he again mentioned Gysberts. I reckon the kid would have played if the game was in Melbourne, and will probably play next week.

I can understand why they would want to debut him in Victoria, so he can have family and friends coming to watch him.

Oh and I laughed at the excuse Bailey was trying to come up with in regards to the late change. Spencer's back didn't come up after the long flight. LMAO. Good lies Bailey, good lies.

Yeah, I noticed all of that too. Are we the side with the most indigenous players in it this round? We have 4.
