    Wish i was at the game. Went last year thenhad a week in Alice. Everyone should get there at some point.  

    Beautiful day weather wise. We need this win to keep our top4 spot. Come on Melbourne get the job done. 

     

    I reckon we’ll open another can of:

    Don’t care how much we win by. 

    I am expecting a 4 Quarter 100% effort. 

    This “away” game is an atrocious situation, in front of how many people?

    Meanwhile our 100,000 seat home plays host to somebody else, yet again

    The only way we can bring the Demons back to Melbourne is to win, so that we simply out grow these ca$h grabs

    After lamenting how long we have to wait till the start of the game this afternoon and woundering how I was going to fill in the time, I recalled the televised curntain raiser game:

    12:00pm Springs Redtails Vs Darwin All Stars, Ch:7 (7 Mate here in Qld).

    Keen to check it out.

    We go in full strength and in hot form, against a (admittedly very good) team with several of its best players out.  I know they will really want to win this one because of the media beat up about Lever, but as far as im concerned that works in our favor. They can waste a heap of energy focusing on one player while we go about our game.

    Dees by 18 points in a tough, physical match.

     

    If the crows were at full strength they would account for us easily I’d say. 

    Today is 50-50 I reckon. Still don’t faith In us against top teams that set up well defensively so I reckon we’ll lose a close one. 

    Hoping to be proved wrong!

    Could not agree more. Myopic cash grab asgainst increased chance of home ground win. Making finals and flags is the penultimate $ boost. Plus I like to go to the footy.

    Even 1 home game in NT would be too much.

    The fact we play two each season is infuriating.

    Back in 2011-12 we were thrown this scrap. Nobody else would have given it 5 minutes. 

    To be still held to this contract, shows how highly we are valued by the AFL and the 17 other clubs. 

    Winning is the only way to break the shackles

    The G is empty today, SWYL! 

    We match up very well against the Crows, and the last few years show this.

    Bring the style of footy we have played over the last month and we win. Simple.

    Because we have been sent to play in a 5000 seat dirt bowl


    Match of the round for mine.

    Pity that in a week where we broke our membership record, this game is being played in front of max crowd of 5000.

    Got a feeling that I'll be watching through my fingers for much of it...us by 12.

    Our run of big scores will continue, Dees by 65 points. Oliver with a cheeky 36 disposals and a goal. 

    What a buzz kill. I was dreaming of 36 goals from one possession.

    I love the fact we play a game in Alice Springs and not just cause I live here, but to play a game in the heart of our country and to have the club visit and work with the communities, some of the most neglected places in our country (to a degree it shocks city folk to their core) makes me very proud of our club - long may it continue 

     

    (ps - Stuff Darwin!)

    It should be shared by all clubs. The negatives on player recovery will disadvantage the MFC every year. 

    (The difference between 4th and 5th spot come September)

    Meanwhile other clubs push for more MCG Games.

    Our Demons have been improving and building in confidence over the last four weeks, delivering four great wins and a very good percentage boost.

    While many want to say, who did we beat, I compare our efforts to how other teams went against them, Cats straight kicking got them a 28 point win over Blues, we had the biggest win over the Suns this year, Essendon have won their last two and even the Saints took it up to the Tigers for 3 quarter.

    When you go through the Demons line by line, we have class spread across the team, and a lot are still improving in Hogan, Oliver, OMac, Brayshaw, Petracca, Frischt and then add Gawn, Hibberd, Viney, TMac, Melksham, Jetta.

    Garlett, Hunt, Tyson, Bugg all can’t get a game.

    When Demons win today, people will finally see how much talent, ability and the right commitment, our team is bringing in 2018!

    Watching the Redtails game.  Good to see channel 7 have brought Gilbert McAdam in for the commentary.  Love his work on the Marngrook Footy Show.

    Disappointed to see that we will get BT for the main game though.  Easily the worst, most annoying of comentators going round at the moment.

    Confident we'll win today. Tipping about 3 goals in a tight game. Matt Crouch back is big for their midfield, he's probably their best player. They're still missing Sloane, Walker, McGovern, B Crouch, Smith though. If they were full strength I reckon they'd scrape over the line against us today. As it stands they're not full strength, this one is ours for the taking. Go Dees!

    • 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.
