It seems odd to me that we would have an intra-club, followed by round 1 of the NAB and then just a week off before NAB cup rd. 2. Does anyone know if there is going to be another intra-club or a scratch match against another club at Casey this weekend???

    so.... are we sure about this? Doesn't it seem weird to anyone else, I thought we are supposed to be getting warmed up not having a rest after 2 games

    No weirder than the shortened format. They can still practice on the off week, so it doesn't really matter that much at this stage of the proceedings. And if you are still not sure, I suggest you try visiting the AFL web site and following the appropriate links to the NAB Cup info.

    Yes, I'm with you C & B. I'm really mystified as to why they didn't play all the round 1 NAB Cup games on the one weekend, rather than stringing them over two weeks. Given the two week scenario, I would have thought the team would have some sort of hit out on the "off" weekend.

    there might be a few reasons for it Vagg.

    There is effectively 9 games on the one weekend - shortened games.

    number of umpires, logistics ?

    intro of GC & GWS for a saturday night launch - some focus required ?

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
