    North play two games a year at the G. I reckon that one counted as having home ground advantage.

    It's also no one's fault but ours that we sold the Adelaide home game to Alice Springs.

    By home ground advantage I mean playing an interstate team in Victoria or Geelong playing at Kardinia Park two Victorian teams at the G or Etihad is 50 50  . Tassie games for north or Hawthorn are often WA teams which is a huge advantage. NT games 50 50 if we play SA or WA teams.

    Massive opportunity this Friday night to regain the momentum lost last Monday. Media blackout please - drain the bath water - lads, simply go over there and get the job done.

    In regards to Carlton. I have a close friend who’s a one-eyed Blue. He has been optimistic about his club and went as far as saying last year his team would be pushing for finals in 2019. He contacted me last night to say he’s finally conceded and can’t see a way out for his once proud club. Clearly disappointed with recruiting, coaching/game plan and just about everything else.

    No doubt a few of us had similar thoughts during our dark days but how many players on the Carlton list would you take to play at the MFC? Cripps and C Curnow would be the only 2 right now and maybe a fit Docherty but according to Gil it’s an exciting list that deserved multi prime time fixtures. I’m not sure getting rid of Bolton will fix anything down there.

    Bolton seems a very nice chap.  Not sure about his man management side but could do with an old head for assistance / support IMO.

    Had lunch with 3 Carlton tragics today and they have all conceded as well.  Some said he should go, others thought he needed the above help.  Paul Roos was mentioned on a number of occasions.  Doubt he will go back into the fire again though.

    They all said that the Demon phoenix has given them some sort of hope, given we were in a similar trough a few years back.

    They also asked if i thought we would win the premiership.  I said i have only ever taken it one week at a time supporting the MFC and was just hoping we can make finals at this point but also we have struggled against the rated / better teams in most cases but hopefully learning from those losses.

    Remind him how bad the Demons were from 2012-2014.  

    Carlton are in a much better position.. they actually have some talent to work with.

    Lose and we could be equal on points with Cats (bye), Port, Hawks and North. Win and we stay ahead of them.

    Their window started and finished when they paid for an extra seat on their return flight for the cup, before they even played the game.

    I hope Tex is enjoying all the success which Lever left.

    And there is alot more to the Crows Season (Gold Coast Pre Season camp) that meets the eye. Might have involved a situation that occured on the team bus. To see what the players would do in that situation who does that at a football club.

    Very, very unhappy Football Club i must say.

    Is it possible that Carlton's plan is to be the hardest team to play against in the league?? If so, that plan is going real well so far. Just as long as they don't surpass our record as the best team in the league for guarding space.

    Hardest team to watch play I believe is their goal.

    They drove the players to Metricon Stadium and told them they were all going to be traded there if they didn’t win this years flag.

    especially when so much of the camera work is close-up

    What a delight* it was watching the Australia v France game with the camera always distant from the pitch so you could see the play unfolding.

     

    *I'm talking about the TV production, not the result.

    Huge couple of weeks for the Dees. 

    It is going to tell the story as to whether we are the real deal or imposters.  I am hoping that our expectations have not got ahead of us. 

    The way we lost to Collingwood is a real worry.  We need to have a huge improvement from that game to beat Port. They have some of their best players back in form.

    After Port, the Cats are going to be a real test. Despite their loss they have a big upside with probably at least 6 players returning from injury that will make a major difference to their line-up. 

    Getting nervous and worried? You betcha. 

    We not only need the points but we need to regain the confidence that only winning can instill.

    It will be a real test of our ability, game plan, and, most importantly, our character.

    What annoyed me with the Pies lost was any team with half a backbone would've refused to let them beat us after what happened last year and it was evident in the first minute we didn't come to play, I blame poor leadership, no better time to fight back than after a rest in a must win game.

    This reads like we play Geelong the week after Port?

    We don't have Geelong until we've played St Kilda, Fremantle and the Dogs first.

    Correct, just thinking about the challenge of getting over the Cats. Wait, Nigel from Brunswick has just reminded me that there is also "the Fremantles" who seem to be coming into form. 

    Will need to increase all my meds.

    No, but Stockholm Syndrome might explain why Carlton have got so many Friday night games.

    6 days only you reckon? i reckon it would have been 2 weeks with the amount of friday nights they recieved.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
