Our captain will be breathing fire today!!

No one on our list deserves it more than Nathan Jones. 

No longer nervous,  just excited to see this  great man lead his men out there today.

 

There is no way I can deal with not seeing us play again until next year. Let's get her done

 

The closer it gets the more I'm shittin myself.  

A rum in the morning has never tasted so good. 

Just get it done dees. 

Working all day today unfortunately. Can't even call in sick as the better half would then demand my presence at an afternoon bbq. It seems I'm stuck with occasional score updates on the app and if we have a loss I'll be doing the same tomorrow with the Adelaide game :-(

Just get it done today boys so I can watch the replay at 2am a happy man.

absolutely packing it...

pretty confident, as per demon77, that jones will NOT allow us to lose today

Thats an interesting aspect. He needs to bring the effort/effect of that suns second half, but from the outset. We have shown we CAN be mercenary and we need to be today ( good practice ) 

Just put these filthy interlopers to the sword early...and then bury the bastards !!!!

Loved it back then and it's pumped me up so much I'm heading to the gates now!!!

I want to see watts breathing fire. After all he's copped and the team has copped. Beating the pies the team who attacked him to lock up finals

if jack can't find motivation to rip a game apart today, he never will

 

I expect the boys to play to the occasion and et the job done. Just hope all as many Melbourne fans possible turn up and cheer them on.

Dees by 30 points. 

Harmes, petracca, hogan all kick 3 

nathan jones guides us home with 35 touches and 2 goals 

Watts, Garlett & Pedersen all kick 4


I'm quietly confident. They are missing 7-8 of their best side.

Meanwhile we are basically full strength with Viney not getting up.

I think we'll come out like we did against Port & StKilda!

Nervous about Collingwood's pace among their small forwards. Clearly they brought in Kirby to try and expose Jetta, Salem aND Oscar's lack of pace. Rather than going with another tall in Reid. Hope we can keep the ball in the air and deny them midfield possessions

Don't worry about who they are missing Mud as it always seems that have the opposite affect on us. 

Its all between the ears. 

Lets hope they r switched on from the opening bounce and just keep going for 4 qrts.

Do it for jones , the lad deserves it. May not be able to watch, too nervous. Might get a tooth pulled instead! 

Go dees and a big game for petracca and watts.

Relax. We've got this.

Happy to relax at 4.30 pm.

Can't  now. 


No injuries, no stupid suspensions please...oh and a 10 goal coasting win would be nice.

Dont know why so many of you are worried. We are playing half a team whose season is already over. Dead-man-walking Coach etc etc

Have not felt this confident since the last time we played North.

 

 

 

 

 

Ahhhhh cra.p

Has to mention North didnt you :)

But seriously your first sentence summed it up pretty well. We will win, Jack will kick 2 goals and Tyson BOG.

One of the best AFL club promos ever. Still gets the Demon heart beating faster.

Yeah nervous AF right now


Had a weird dream about the game last night. So nervous with so much at stake. Remember the 1987 game at the Western Oval. Such a fine sunny day it was. 

I was at the Western Oval Match in 1987. Today doesn't have the same feel.

1987 was at a suburban  oval which Demons  had to win after a long run .of wins. And was dependent on Hawthorn beating Geelong.

If Demons lose today, they will in all likelihood still make the finals.

The last few weeks i have written we will see how much the boys want to play finals. Well today will definitely will tell us. 

21 players when running out today just need to look at the person they will be running behind today wearing the number 2 jumper. I know Jonsey has played finals for us but if anyone deserves to be there its him. He has stayed loyal to us and has led this club well. 

also it would be great for someone like watts to reap the rewards and for Jesse to at least have something go right for us this year. 

Collingwood will want to wreck it for us but I hope at the 25 minute mark at the final term we have an enjoyable lead and can sit back and smile we are playing finals footy. 

 

Will be at the Cameron Rayner Cup at the Gabba. Earphones in of course listening to our game. Very exciting times. Bring it on.

Extra motivation for both to play well.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
