Tragically, I wont be able to make it to the 'G... erm... sorry.. Etihad, for our final erm.. 'home' game of the season, against traditional rival Greater Western Health Service Statistical District.

I've gritted my teeth and pushed through these last few ignominious rounds but now there's the hard fact that we are done, this nothing game is all that is left for the Demons in 2015.

There's no time to recover dignity or salvage the season if we cop another casual thumping. And let's be honest, a win would be pretty hollow, against another team which has clearly packed up for the season.

Jesse Hogan has slipped out of the race to lead the league in contested marks, as well as now being out of reach of making top-10 goalkickers, so even the silly little stats watching is over.

There doesn't seem to be any prospects of a final-round farewell for any of our departing players, either, as they just haven't sustained the form to warrant selection.

Is anyone planning on going? I was thinking the best thing to do with this game would be turn up with smiley-face masks and banners.

Ugh, I'm just disgusted.

    I think the best thing to do with this game is pretend that it's a bye. See if we can break a record for the lowest attendance at Etihad. Maybe the AFL would get the hint and stop making us play home games there.

    I think it was Voltaire who said...

    "I win therefore I am" only winning makes sense

    Was it "meaningless" to beat geelong, Collingwood gc etc? Of course not!

    So play like demons take no prisoners - play like its your last afl game - and for some of you it is

    Yeah, great idea.

    Hollow? I don't care if we had to beat the Western Sydney Under 12 Irish Dancing team if that is the only way to break the Ethiad hoodoo.

    What, not just going to boo Voldermort?

    Ha ha,

    Scully has been one of the top contributors to our development in the last five years, bringing us our best player!

    He is almost emblematic of The Sarcasm Cup.

    It possibly might have escaped you but Voldemort hasn't been playing for several weeks and won't be playing on Sunday.

    It might be worth going however, to see whether there are any GWS players out there worth picking up in the trades. With the Giants signing on many of their young guns and still having the burden of the Voldemort $1m a year wage bill, they might be happy to swap some players during the trade period. We have a few prima donnas who might be comfortable going there.

    Great opportunity to win a game at Etihad. Last round go into the pre-season on a winning note. We have nothing to benefit from a loss and nothing to lose if we win (Draft pick wise).

    I'd play the best and toughest team available, instruct them to cause some pain to the opposition as opposed to the fans.

    We should expect this at the very least.

    It was a joke Jack, Goffy got it, maybe it "escaped" you?

    The ailing RoyBoys drew a crowd of only 5000 in the mid '90's at the Western Oval , their final "Home" ground . We should beat that figure but the event will be a financial meltdown for all parties . It's impossible to expect many non-members to attend , so gate receipts will be a joke . See you there....we might just be competitive in the third quarter !

    I think I will go because, hey we might just salute. And as a fall back position , there's always the casino where I can throw away some cash and learn some Mandarin. Win Win

    I actually think we'll win this week so I'll be there.

    Lol jk I'll be there but only because pain makes me wet.

    Yup.

    People will say this game means nothing. Well they are wrong. Every win is another step forward in the journey to redemption. Every loss is anther kick in the guts. And lets bury this [censored] Etihad curse once and for all.

    Around the 12,000 mark.

    There will be 8000 there on the weekend but the club/league will inflate the figure to 12,000.

    Your sense of humour is positively knee-slapping Stuie.

    The club should grab you as entertainment for the players' Mad Monday celebrations.

    They could take a leaf out of the StKilda play book and light him on fire

    Yeah, as a bad taste stripper.

    I expect several of the Giants will be putting their best foot forward in the hope of catching Paul Roos' eye.

    Surely that's not a personal attack by a moderator? Who would have thought....

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
