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.

Doesn't the big fella in the sky sorta side with the saints. Should have gone to some devil worshiping joint and sacrificed a baby harp seal or something cute.

    UPDATE: All parking gates at Yarra Park will be open but capacity will be heavily reduced (to around 50%). The MCG recommends taking public transport.

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

    Last week was a [censored] game but a win. Maybe today will be a great game but a loss?

    Will be motoring back from Moama as this game plays out so looking fwd to dlanders commentaries :)

    Go Dees

    If we can't get up today and turn a corner, I'm not sure where else the wins will come from.

    We need to get over this mob today. On our ground, our home. We haven't beaten them in far too long.

    Really? You're another to tread that line? You are actually going to suggest that if we can't beat St. Kilda today we can't beat Carlton in a few weeks time?

    Seriously. People here need to look past their noses and think bigger than just one week.

    we have a better list than both, losing either is an embarrassment as it was a few weeks ago

    Looked out the back this morning to see 2 beautiful red and blue king Parrotts standing in my backyard. Guess it can only mean 2 wins on the trot, or possibly we're getting both Danger and Prestia. Or possibly could mean sweet FA. I'm going with the first one

    We do have a better list than Carlton, but you could argue that the Saints are at least on par with us right now. Their mids are at least as good, if not better, than ours, they have Roo and Josh Bruce up forward as well who are always a threat. Their backline isn't flash and ours is better but, right now, we aren't really any better than them.

    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.

    Hang in there.....

    not for mine, i'ii take us in every area other the Reiwoldt, yet they keep beating us, they are better drilled & have a better game plan.

    However I'm confident Today, i don't think their style will be suited today & we will finish strongly today

    Spot on wiseblood IMO the sides are fairly evenly match.

    Roo on one leg is as good as Dawes.

    If we have improved we should win and win reasonably well. Last time we played ok against them on a ground we don't play well and lost because of an inept last play. They dont play the G well and Riewoldt is on one leg. I think we have balanced the kids this week with bringing in two mature players who should have some serious desperation to try and stay in the side. As long as we bring the right consistent intent and hold Stevens and Riewoldt we should win and win well.

    There's a pretty good Jake Niall article on this very topic here:

    http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/melbourne-demons-better-placed-for-future-title-run-than-st-kilda-saints-20150725-gikghj.html

    Interesting article.

    Four out of five list managers/recruiters from different clubs did not hesitate to nominate Melbourne when asked which club was better placed, at this early stage, of their progression. "Melbourne look like they've got some certainty," said one well-regarded recruiter. "You think Hogan will be very good player, Brayshaw will be a very good player. Petracca has great parallels to Brayshaw."

    IN-Garland,Dawes, Vanderburg, Harmes

    OUT-Neal-Bullen,Pedersen, Riley, Toumpas

    we are at least 2 players stronger, Roo may not be 100%, at the G, Should be improved by 2pts

    Harsh on Roo there, him on one leg is still better than Dawes.

    will i be able to park at the G'? I usually turn in off Punt Road but i saw that it is restricted parking today?

    Parking never really is an issue as we rarely have humongous crowds.

    Follow the MCG on Twitter, They update the parking situation regularly.

  • Quote

    Currently on a train from Surabaya...cant wait for the game to start as I have a long way to go...get up the dees, Dawes and co pull your fingers out and get us over the line....

    Sadly they dont sell much beer in this country so it will be a differnt/dull way to follow the game.

    • 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.

    • 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.
