I don't think we can tell any more how they will play from just looking who is listed on the team sheet. What matters is what attitude those names bring to the game over 4 quarters. So much of our performance seems to come down to tenacity, attack on the game, gritted teeth, gut running, wild-eyed pursuits and tackling, hunger for the ball, running to space to give a team mate a kicking or handballing option, looking up quickly when we've go the ball to assess the options and finding the best one, honouring the leads into space, talking to a teammate, slapping him on the back or pulling him into line......

Which part of the roller coaster ride will we be on in any given weekend? I can't tell that any more from a team list.

I think Collingwood may use us to prove a point. We are one of the few sides to have troubled them last year, and they will look to stamp their authority on this one. I don't think we stand a chance of winning, but we can make it a close game if we play with the same attitude we showed tonight.

FFS... we man up well on them, like last year it was just that confidence...last week, yeah 65 at least...Now Imo...maybe, the boys might be back....such a difference tonight...still errors are apparent and could be exposed but hey...Pies so confident, Swan off to do yoga in South America to address his beer gut....Daisey the difference maybe...ya know, but you never know...maybe just maybe.... this is the team that was, the risk taking, down the centre....OH i would love to beat em!!

We got a lot of help tonight that we won't get against the Pies. I think it'll be, at best, a bit like the Adelaide game. We could beat them confidently for 90 minutes, and all they need to do is have Shaw, Daisy, Krakouer, Beams, Dawes, Didak, Sidebottom or Embullbummery suddenly explode and it's all over. Let's be honest though... it'll probably be Dick that kicks 4.

I think the Pies will be up for this game, as there has been a fair bit of talk about us playing so well against them, I have a feeling they will want to come out and put that talk to bed.

But sometimes certain teams just play well against other teams. Roos against Demons, Bombers against Saints, Demons against Pies........either team by under 15.

If we play like we did last night we'll give them something to think about. Tom Scully will be better for the run and Malthouse's recent spray wont hurt us. We're a chance.

There's no saying which Melbourne will turn up.

If we play like we did last night, or like we did against Adelaide, it will be a good game, as we do match up well against them.

If we play like we did against Carlton, North, West Coast or Hawthorn, they will smash us to smithereens.

Next Monday will be even better than last night.

90,000 at the G to watch the Dee's win by 30pts.

All the hype will follow, and everyone will be talking us up as contenders. Then we will lose to Freo at home the week after.;)

If we don't get al least 80k It will be a disappointing result.

Up to every MFC supporter to get themselves to this game.

Think we will have a let down after the emotion of this week.

I'm coming from Canberra, as I do every year. Love it!

Same. I might even pull the horns out.

Yeah, I'm not gonna pull the horns out.

Pies should win but I'm predicting the effort from this week (winning contested possessions, hard tackling, second and third efforts) will be followed up, and that's what I am expecting. Could be yet another very close one.

80k?

We aren't quite at the bandwagon stage I am afraid.

They are looking out through the logs, but they are still in the woodwork at this stage...

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
