I've had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach all week about today's match. Something about our attitude before that Saints game, and playing this on the G where we've been less than impressive all year. It's like teams have found out how to exploit our game plan there.

Hopefully I'm wrong, because if we blow today then our finals chances are as good as cooked IMO. Too many other teams on the fringes with far easier runs home, like Hawthorn and North.

And almost every time this year that other teams have blown key matches and opened up a golden opportunity for us to move ahead, we've consistently blown it. And lo and behold, this week it's Geelong and Hawthorn opening the door. The Dees rarely miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity and, once again, the stage is set. 

So, please, please prove me wrong Demons.

Argh I should be there. Bloody sister in law having her dinner for her birthday tonight. Petracca has to take his game up to another level now and get into the midfield. Dam I hope Jack's toe isnt to bad. 

 Christian Petracca, Bernie Vince, Jay Kennedy Harris, Alex Neal-Bullen on the bench. 

Come on melbourne. Win and win well.

Not working out too well for Hawthorn at the moment.

    Exactly why we need to take our chances when they present themselves, especially on the oft-chance other teams drop big games.

    Otherwise this season is going to be a repeat of 2017.

    Edit: Way off.

    missing Viney for games against Adelaide and Geelong is really tough. Makes winning today even more important. Im no doctor to know how long a "stress" takes to heal. But, presuming he got to it early,  does anyone know anything about this kind of  thing? As much as I hate to say it it may even be best to just rest him til 2019. His not a player we can lose long term through mismanagement. As I said Im no doctor but Im also curious about just how much heart ache can we actually bear until we explode or catch fire?

    Bad news about Viney and even worse if it's as bad as people are saying. But right now we got a game to play

    Oh joy we have Dwayne Russell...

    And great start!


    How was that bounce not recalled. Umpire couldn't be [censored].

    Sitting in Los Angeles, Watch Afl App isn’t working. Driving me crazy trying to see the game.

    Obviously not addicted to watching the game though.   Good luck everyone!

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      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?
