    Negatives after a win??

    No i wouldn’t think that at all

    You are a very sick man

    Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation ..

    For someone who hates it when others judge his thoughts, replies and what he thinks, it seems hypocritical of you to call me a 'very sick man'. 

    Takes one to know one I guess.

    Cannot see us losing to freo ... its the next few weeks that concern me.      Hope am I am wrong but will not make finals.   Playing dogs after playing in darwin   na !!      Adelaide in adelaide   no !   Geelong at geelong  (happens once every 15 years)   West coast in perth ..  No  !!        blew it last week  and first round.   Hope I am wrong,

     

    Side note won $65 last week.  had 10 on saints.    Having watched by beloved team for decades I knew $6.50 odds for saints was  ridiculous.  Hope I was not going to collect..  but I did.

    I struggled this week, mate. If we roll over against Freo I don't think I'll be able to pull anything positive out of the bag! 

    A durry?

    People can think whatever they want on here, but for you to say i will find negatives after a win is just petty rubbish. 

    I hate losing & i hate slack performances, of which we see too many

    but i will never tire of wins

    Yes you were indeed.

    Planning on keeping your powder dry in the game day thread this week, Nash?

    Even if we'd beaten St Kilda and say Geelong, I still think we'd struggle to make the 8, the last 5-6 weeks is just a brutal run of games, coupled with teams around us having much easier draws...

    Dees by 20 goals. Freo won't score, Petty to take 22 intercept marks, Trac to have 47 disposals, Hogan to kick 11 goals. 

    I hope you did not hurt anything when you fell out of bed Wiseblood?

    Which only highlights what a shocking decision playing fixtures in Darwin is. 

    What is more important to the club, a suitcase of $$$’s or playing finals in September??

    Only my head. On reflection I should have made it 30 goals.

    Oh thank God I thought something may have happened to the most positive person on Demonland . Where I go for positive reinforcement?

    I'm not sure the decision is 'fully' ours, i think we are partially beholden to the AFL to continue this arrangement in some form, perhaps due to previous 'support' we received.

    Might as well pack up the club if the AFL are forcing our hand and retarding our fixture. 

    Clubs who plays us 2-3 weeks after Darwin get a massive free kick

    I believe you referred to St Kilda as a ‘bucket of puss’. After reading that I seriously thought there was no way we could lose.

    We lost the following two games badly though. We were then shagged out and lethargic for the remainder of the season .

    True, still I think if the arrangment is going to continue we should play the Darwin game instead of the Alice Springs game before the bye.

    If we lose to Freo it’s season over.

    And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year.

    Head coach sacked?

    New president?

    At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club.

     

    I'm curious who was he?

    Fremantle were putrid last week so it will be interesting, we should [censored] them. A couple of close losses and a big win will get our percentage up there which may be handy

    Not really. We lost to North by 4 points in rubbish conditions, then to a hot GWS, then belted StKilda for all but a lapse in the 3rd quarter. Sports science has come along way in the last few years. If we lose to Dogs next week it won’t have anything to do with the conditions on Saturday night

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
