    I am relying on great commentary from those on Demonland today. I am in New York and have done my bit. Popped into the local church, lit a candle and put in a few requests. One was for a great win today and the other was for Dean Kent's hammy which I heard during the week from my source at Casey was not looking so good after scans early in the week.

    Go Dees.

    Look at the speed we moved the ball in 2006. Players went at the ball with real intent and look at the spirit that Daniher instilled in the team. Some of those things seem to be developing in the present team.

    If we win today we will move up to 13th on the ladder, but will still be three wins outside the eight sadly.

    14th actually, unless we belt the saints by a lot. This is a game we really need to win, we let the last one slip against them so the boys should be up for this one. We said at the start of this run of 3 games that we needed to be at least 2-1, we already dropped the essendon game.. To come out of this block of games 1-2 would be depressing. Saints are just as bad at the G as we are at etihad, if we don't win this game I'll be extremely pi$$ed off.

    Well no - if we beat St. Kilda we go ahead of them anyway because that would give us 6 wins to their 5.

    Haha my bad, not used to winning more than 4 games... Clearly can't add up

    I was at that final in 2006. McLean played a blinder; particularly in the last quarter. The highlight was just before half time. Gehrig marked at about 50 m. He went back to take the kick. Carroll was on the mark. He (Gehrig) then played on. Got caught (holding the ball) and stuffed his knee in the tackle. Off for the rest of the match. Hahaha!! Happy memories. (Not much since.) I'm going today. Not at all confident. Go Dees!!!

    Go Dees.

    If that is the case finish his season immediately and get him ready for round 1, 2016

    He is far too valuable to be stuffing around with for the sake of 6ish games at the back end of a season that holds no real meaning

    Holy hell football really has gone backwards in recent years. I'd forgotten how good that was to watch.

    The next year Daniher brought in that "run and carry" game plan and footy for me hasn't been the same since.

    Pretty worried about today, we tend to back up our wins with [censored] games

    In lieu of Bernie Vince, perhaps you could point your daughter in the direction of Dean Kent. Her hands could work magic on his hamstrings Sue.

    Doing the "big" drive from Geelong to the MCG like i do every week. Hopefully our boys come out motivated from last time, but who knows.

    I can cash out through sportsbet for my multi and snare $175, or i can wait and if the dees get up i snare $350. Haven't decided yet.

    Of course they played with intent.

    That was an Elimination Final.

    The next year they slipped to 14th with 5 wins.

    Not so much intent or spirit then.

    As for today.

    They need to redeem themselves for last debacle and smash this mob.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
