If there's a single lesson to be learned from this round so far, it's that you should never rely on the results of other games. You have to get the job done yourself.

If the team hasn't learned that lesson after the Round 23 debacle last season it will be so deflating for the supporters.  Finals are non negotiable from here.

We will find out in the next 4 games if we have finally taken the next step.  The biggest month of footy for this club in a long, long time.    It all starts today.

    Yep, just woke up, the nerves kicking in already. Time to make a statement- go dees!

    I am not nervous at all. Dees by 48.

    Can look at the weekend's results two ways.  Scary as hell because we can still easily miss the 8, or as a massive opportunity to rise up the ladder.

    Go dees!

    Let’s get the job done today Dees and set up the last 3 weeks. We have a taste for it now. No fuss, no frills. Just win.

    Make other teams worry about us for a change.

    All the best Vanders and well done Bernie on your 100th in Red and Blue.

    Perfect weather is forecast, should be a great crowd and a percentage-boosting flogging.

    Exactly what I thought before the St Kilda game :(

    Us by 147. TMac to kick 11. 

    Was thinking Hogan to kick 8.

    Due for a big one.

    If we are 'on' today,  this may not be unrealistic.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Objective should be to win every quarter - one quarter at a time.

    Exactly. Win each quarter 6 goals.

    This thread is already sounding the same as the game day thread prior to every game we should have won by ten goals but managed to loose in typical Melbourne fashion!

    Having said that, am taking my 5yo to the game with the expectation that her flag waving arm will get tired from the 25+ goals we will kick and the most nervous I will get at 3/4 time will be wondering if we will win by 15 or 20 goals ??

    We are a 15 goal better side on paper, their midfield is utter trash, Jarrod Witts is their captain, and we have a top 4 spot up for grabs. 

    Watch us get rolled.

    If they are in it at 3/4 time then they will truly believe, need to blast them in the first quarter and make them despondent and go through the motions.

    It has been an incredible round.  One that should make the dopes running the AFL think twice about radical changes, such as an 18 metre goal square.

    Win today and we get to roll that top eight team (Sydney next week) people carry on about.

    A misnomer though, as every team in the top eight is vulnerable and, in my view, ordinary by historic standards.

    It’s funny how reactionary the media are.

    early every season we see high scoring free flowing games, then by about round 5 every coach ever has tightened things up defensively with the result games become tough lower scoring contests, then towards the end of the season, everything opens up again and you get ripping contests like the ones this weekend

    Unfortunately thinking is not a skill they seem to have mastered @produce. 

    Nor being humble and admit the coaches are working it out themselves and backing out of the changes.

    Go Dees let's grab this opportunity by the short and curlies 

    Can’t wait for this afternoon. I will be there - Go Dees ❤️?

    • 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?
