The Doggies were marching towards the finals while the Dees were in a bad trough. They wiped the floor of Etihad Stadium with us.

    We are playing a team chock full of talent, dash and attack. Not just Stringer despite his attributes. We will need to be at our very best and be able to respond to their attacks on the ball and the scoreline. This will mean everything working from Gawn and the midfield, to a tight defence, and a forward line that can create space and opportunities. Our attack on the ball and opponent, and reduced error/turnover rate will be critical.

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but I left that game at half time. I don't think I've ever left a game early in more that 30 years. I even sat out the 186 game.

    Listening to the radio the boundary rider (Tiffany Cherry?) made the comment that the Dogs players were coming off absolutely knackered. I predicted that they would get flogged by West Coast the following week at Subiaco, and they did (by 77 points). They had beaten West Coast by 10 points at Etihad in round one.

    Obviously, limited rotations, a heavier (probably) surface, and a larger ground do not favour their game style.

    Yes, that game was an absolute Barry Crocker.

    I dare say however, that we will probably field a team with half of its players different to the one that ran out against the Bullies last August and in addition we know that the likes of Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Heritier Lumumba were NQR in terms of fitness - all of them undergoing post season surgery.

    Also, we take a different attitude into our game most of the time these days.

    Look at that, from the Full back line to the Half Forward line only 4 players that played Saturday night. And only 13 of the 22 the same.

    For a game not too long ago, Round 20 last year, that's a significant difference!

    Like the Saints game a fortnight ago, from the first stages of this game we looked far too slow, I think being at the G this week will be a big leveller.

    I think we'd be helped by everyone getting out and doing a rain dance Sunday morning.

    Bulldogs are a very good, but young team; the venue is the biggest advantage we have.

    This is the biggest test so far this season. Give us good conditions and let's see where we're at.

    Geez, we're a different outfit this time around. Our list is getting much stronger.

    How about  "Last time they met at the MCG'    :cool:

    Just what I was thinking PA. last years corresponding game at the G we won convincingly (Hoges pointing out Boyd getting dragged to Murphy when Bob was trying to put him off kicking for goal).

    my boy was in the guard of honour for the first time. It was a great afternoon out (and 100% dry). We don't need it to rain imho.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
