If worst comes to worst it'll have been a good start to day with bottle top bill and Le tour replay 

Got a doggies mate who thinks they’re tanking for the no.4 pick. It would be very Melbourne to lose to a team that’s tanking ?

    That is literally the most MFC win contra indicator I've heard of.

    I've seen the Saints Vs Blues already this round plus Geelong goin' down in Adelaide. Does it get better than that? 

    Yes it does ! Dees by the length of the Flemington straight.....hard held.

    Hogan to get 7 with 10 score involvments.

    It is written.

    We are at least 2 goals better a quarter.  Boyd and Bont out.  McRae rushed back.  48 points, Maxie to own the skies.  JKH to surprise knockers.  Improved (modified) forward 50 approach to be on display.

    I have other duties and wont be there today - but perhaps that is a good thing because I have only seen one win at the G this year (Roos), and felt the Geelong, Saints and Pies games were poor give-ups.  Go Dees

    I'm actually genuinely excited, given this is the first match I have been able to attend all season. 

    Attending with a doggies fan so I hope it's me who get to gloate on the long ride home and not him.

     

    Carn the Dees!

    I don’t like it when Dubdee is this confident!

    We should have this game in the bag but at our unpredictable worst we can be as bad as Carlton. 

    Have driven down from Canberra for a Tiger supporting mate's 30th, and have convinced the boys to go to the game. Hopefully it's a good start to the evening

    Was not planning to go today for fear of extending my 0-5 live record this year. 

    But then my boss scored tickets to a sponsored corporate box in the ponsford stand level 1. It actually is important work schmooze.

    Who’s been in one before? I’m worried I’ll make a [censored] of myself. I’ll guess I’ll just keep shoving canapés in my mouth and watch quietly..

    Good pick up Deemented!

    I've had a couple of goes in the corporate boxes both for footy and cricket.

    And yes .... I made a [censored] of myself each time. With the wisdom of hindsight though, it is probably best to show a little restraint - you may get invited back!

    I believe we are maturing. I expect us not to let the dogs get more than 2 goals in a row and to control the momentum. We should be learning from our past bad games. Four quarters please and hard at it in the time on period. Plenty of marks for us in the 50 meter area on such a beautiful day. Go Dees!

    Well done Nibbler. 50th game. Has anyone ran further in their first 50 games?

    The club also acknowledges two more milestones. 

    1000 disposals for Trac ( needs two more)

    1000 disposals for Jesse (needs five more)

    Beautiful winter’s day. Go Dees!

    After the Hawthorn & Richmond losses I stopped caring so much and we went on a 6 game winning streak... The St.Kilda game crushed me again, so I've gone back to not caring so much. Can't watch tonights game which will be weird, I can't recall ever not watching a game on t.v. atleast. Dees by 23, hoping more than anything!

    Early in the week I was very apprehensive about this game (our home ground disadvantage, the doggies outside run, scars from the St Kilda game, MFCSS kicking in, etc), but after more thought, and seeing the respective teams, I'm now more confident of a win.  We are  both more talented and more experienced, and besides, I just can't bring myself to tip against Melbourne when finals are on the line. ?  Dees by 24 points.

    Simple formula. Win! No excuses etc. win by 1 point or by 100 points. Prefer 50 plus points but a win is all we need then no travel this week. 

    I think we can beat Geelong and Sydney but day is crucial 

    Flying back from Malaysia shortly, so will miss the game. Hoping for a good result, fearing a bad one.. cmon Dees begin our momentum to finals!!! 

    The Saints game was a huge setback for my confidence this side will just get the job done when it needs to, but last week went some way towards restoring it.  

    I think it was @ProDeethat the experience comparison between the two sides, which showed us fielding a vastly more experienced side.  We've got them covered in pretty much every position on the ground. This is an absolute must win and we should do comfortably.

    After the St Kilda debacle we need to win this game by a substantial margin to bring back the players’ and the supporters’ belief!  Then we need to continue and win every match between now and the end of the home and way season so as to finish Top Four! Finishing in the Final Eight is not good enough!

    I admit to a vested interest as l will be overseas for the first week of the Finals!

    Losing is simply not an option if we want to play finals. Luckily we’ll come out pumped up and show the Dogs what we’re made of. Dogs by 27.

    • 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?
