The round three match up was played almost 12 months ago on 10 April 2011. The Demons gave us a scare when they fell five goals in arrears early in the game before fighting back to win thanks to some magic from Liam Jurrah who kicked five goals. Beamer was bog.

A win is a win, no matter what! :lol:

Agree bit I think Striker475 makes a stronger point.

No Power and Brown hurts them but we wont win pretty in this one either

I cant help but rate the lions list. Would love some more players on our list who have a red hot crack like Rockliff, Banfield etc.

Rich, Rockliff, Black is as strong as Trengove Jones and Moloney IMO. Throw the likes of Drummond, Adcock, Merret etc and i reckon they are better than people might like to believe.

No Jurrah hurts us - he's performed well against the lions on mroe than one occasion.

Me too DemonWA, I think this game is far from a cake walk.

Well, well.....We all remember this game don't we. The most uninspiring game of footy/win I have ever experienced. Pretty s*** really. Oh well, come Sat. we'll more than liklely see another scrappy win with our contested brand. Hopefully this week the gap between the contested and uncontested possession can be bridged. Having meat and potatoes is good, peas such as Cale Morton are a good side touch in some situations. Should win this one though; DO IT FOR JIM AND FOR THE PRIDE AND HONOUR OF OUR CLUB! The true Melbourne re-birth begins Saturday and I can't wait. GO DEES!

Yes, but having Clark who is familiar with their game plan and style of play, will hopefully negate that to some extent.

Clark's knowledge along with the fact Drummond being out injured should result in a comfortable Demon win then?

I have a really strange feeling that our forward line is going to click on Saturday and give us all an uplifting boost on here... I think with big Sauce Merritt playing forward its going to allow us to free up some of our bigger forwards... Call me optimistic but I believe we are going to see this become a path for blokes like Petterd and Howe to really show their class... If we can match it with their midfield then we will win comfortably... I have a lot of faith in our backline and am chalking this one up as a confidence boosting Rnd 1 victory!

Well, here's hoping ��

Really looking forward to seeing where we're at this weekend. Hopefully our midfield can either match that of the Lions or come out on top. I would love to see Clark kick a bag!

I would prefer he kicks a footy GTG.

Small joke there, I hope so too.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
