Ahhh, 10am Gameday.

Confident, nervous, reading everything, anxious, ready, not ready, sensing a win, sensing a draw, sensing a flogging, posting on Demonland, groaning at other Demonlander's posts, too much coffee already, already thinking about my first Shiraz, cider or Dalmore 18yo scotch.... , what time is it x 100, constantly checking the pathetic AFL app for updates.

Love/hate Gameday. 

This should be pinned to the top of every weeks game day thread. GOLD.

Hey Col, the game is also on Ch 7.

That equation works well in Australia. Alas, I live overseas (though I did live close to Stud Road in Rowville at one stage).

Sam Mclure reported post game last night that JOM will be a late out for the Hawks.

Which of the Hawks emergencies Langford, Sicily and Brand played yesterday. I don't think the first two did, which could be a replacement for JOM and one held over.


I really wish this game was at Etihad, that's a real fortress for us.

This is a game we should win and be expected to win, but being melbourne this is a game they could drop. 

What I want to see is straight kicking, less handballing and proper kick outs from full back. And of course a win. Love to see Jesse play well and I do hope he is in the right headspace to play. Couldnt go last week so looking forward to see how Pederson goes as well. 

Come on melbounre just go out there and beat them.

Third game in 13 days - test will be if the fitness staff have managed to freshen squad or will there be a flat spot. 

Hawthorn are playing their 3rd game in 14 days... in fact most sides technically play 3 games in a 14 day period 

 

Massive game and opportunity for us with the other results this weekend. Hold our spot in the 8, keep us close to the top 4, statement against the Hawks.

I will only be able see first half of first qtr as the goodly has some "activity" planned for 4pm damn it.

This game has me seriously nervous... They are due to put in a reasonable performance & unfortunately a lot of sides have a bit of a mental edge on us knowing we can be mentally fragile.. They'll be up for the fight from the start, this isn't going to be a walk in the park like the saints had last week against them. This is HUGE test to see where this football club is at, Melbourne of old would drop this game... We lose this & finals is a long road. 

I haven't picked up on any mental fragility this year - rather periods of crap football.

If the Hawks come into this game thinking that way then they'll get rolled.

I just think we're gonna be far too fierce at the coal face for them to get effective first possessions.

Lewis will star today

winning each quarter by a couple of goals would be a pleasant change............ have we done it during the last ten years?

And can Oliver please square up on Rioli. Just don't get rubbed out.

Freo sniffed something soft and went for the kill.

For some reason this makes me nervous... ;)

Make no mistake the Hawks are in a corner and will come out fighting.

He'll square up on Rioli when he kicks the sealer late in the second quarter after a 25 possession first half.

Good plan but the security staff are not quite that dumb.

It would come under the heading of "suspicious bulge in the pants"

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
