GAMEDAY - Round 10

Featured Replies

Hard to believe that we're already at Round 10 and it's even harder to believe that the Demons are putting such a young team onto the field each week and yet still remain in finals contention.

The table below from what I believe was last week's round shows how young the team. With Nev Jetta and Dom Tyson coming into the team today, the average age might be slightly higher but it's good knowing that we have plenty of youth to come in and supplement the team - Angus Brayshaw, Clayton Oliver and Christian Salem for starters.

That's all good but our opponents have on average about three years in age and far more than double the numbers played over us. Can youth triumph over experience today?

Wow. Look at Carlton!

Another year and they'll be looking at a complete rebuild.

Median games is the most relevant stat there. 30 is simply a crazy number. We are winning games with a team of babies.

Nearly fell off my chair when I saw that. Wow. Thats a team of players that have played less than 1.5 seasons an average.

Makes the turnaround all the more remarkable, an I hope next loss we have the supporters put things in perspective and acknowledge we are way ahead of he curve. 

Dee's by 34, Billy Stretch RS nom, slow roasted pork belly for lunch and a few froffies.


GO DEES

He would have got the nom last week if he were eligible. 

Another must win this game, a lot of teams hovering around 4 and 5 wins. Adelaide could lose to GWS and we're a game clear in 8th.

I love pork belly and froffies..

Mentioned in the Match Preview thread that they had a few players under an injury cloud pre-match. They were Darcy Byrne-Jones, Hamish Hartlett and Jackson Trengove. Port posted this pic on facebook. No Jackson Trengove but Sam Gray (emergency) is in the photo. Assume this is the 22 they're going with. MASSIVE bonus for us if Trengove is out

Our team of boys are creating havoc.  Couldn't be more proud of them win or lose.

Couple of years and look out . Well done Paul Roos and the off field team.

Played too many games last year to be eligible, but maybe he'll be so good they make an exception?

Also, put the lid back on fellas, geez!

 

If we are to look at the game, I would say this is an opportunity for us as I don't like our chances the next week. We will be coming back from stinking hot Alice Springs against the reigning three time premiers. As much as I would like to see us roll those p****s, I'm not sure that we are there yet. 
A 7-4 record would be better but if you look at where we are at as a footy team, 6-5 would put us on track for what I would reasonably expect us to achieve as a team this year.

So who have we got left who's RS eligible?

O'mac?

Port will come out and try to be tough guys like they did against Geelong. Although young, we have a team of young, competitive brutes who won't be rattled.

Yep, out of the guys that are getting a game he's the only one.

Jones to be fined again.


I will be honest, I tipped Port to be top 4 and contend for the flag this year....

They are a rabble, completely out of form and a shadow of their 2013/14 side. 

Ive moved on from the Essendon game, a loss today would be really disappointing considering what we've shown since then. Angus, VB and Oliver are first and second year players, we have no excuses.

We will break them open early, Dees by 42.

Alice Springs weather 23c light winds. 44% humidity. Perfect for footy.

Well that's reassuring.
Still don't think we can beat the Dawks yet though. :(

Predicting and epic battle between Viney and Wines in the middle, Gawn will be the reason Viney and the Dees win.

Dees by 9 points

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • 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?
