Headed to the game, feeling nervous, but hope to see the Demons take the game on, play on at every opportunity.

Fingers crossed for a win any margins will suffice!

    I can honestly say I’m not expecting much from this game but an ugly affair. Not confident about our chances, it’s impossible to see how we can score lately. 

    Would really just like a scrappy win so we can get out of there and live to fight another day.

     

    No idea where everyone gets their confidence from. 

    Bombers have had a tougher run than us and in the same position  have beaten both Adelaide teams  

    Another 50-50 game  

    I’m not nervous as I’ve lost a fair bit of interest over the past few weeks

    I'm feeling very pragmatic about today.  You get what you deserve in footy.  If we play to our ability we'll win.

    If we lose I won't let the result control my emotions.  I won't be joining the plethora of senile old clueless posters, who regularly carry on like outraged victims.

    Regarding playing with more structure offensively. You could see last week that they wanted to get back to very basic football of moving the ball forward at any cost (compared to the lack thereof against the hawks). In some ways the frantic style of play seemed to startle Richmond at times. We kicked the ball long and relied on pressure to out work them around the ball to get scoring chances. It was good to see this as there will be more wet weather games ahead where that style of play will be important.

    But today I hope to see some switching of the ball and more daring movement through the corridor.

    If Daniher is a late out then it will be Essendons worst side they’ve put out all year and all the planets will be aligned to ensure an emphatic victory for them.

    Expect Hogan to play the Petracca role with more midfield time and drifting forward.

    Especially with TMac back and Weideman up forward.

    I could live with that.

    Agreee.

    His last 3 games vs us:

    1.6

    2.4

    5.0

    He is the only forward in their team capable of tearing us apart. If hes out, that can only be good for us. Irrespective of his form going into today.

    If Joe is out they will probably play McKernan at CHF and Stringer at FF or the reverse positions or Hooker goes forward if a smaller player comes in..

    Put spargo on Goddard all game and watch him crack.

    Theoretically it should help if he's out, however, as shown yesterday at the Cattery with Buddy out there are no guarantees.  

    I remember one of our great wins was against West Coast in Perth with a depleted side.  

    Some of our best wins have been sans Hogan, because we had to use the ball differently entering our 50.

    Round  14, 1998. We beat WC in Perth coming off 6 wins in a row. We lost our previous two games by close to 200 points. Turned our season around and only lost one or two games for the remainder of the H&A season. Then again it was regular feast or famine those days. We were all over the place with form.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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?

      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.
