This has been an unusual round so far. Every game with some bearing on the 8 has gone to the wire. 5 games decided by under a goal has never happened before. Today there are two supposedĀ Ā gimmieĀ Ā games with finals implications for us and GWS.Ā Confident butĀ nervousĀ that more surprises await. I just hope Carlton offer up the surprises.

Exactly what I thought before the St Kilda game :(

Agree I went to that saints game not even having a worry. That taught me a lesson. But today surely history cannot repeat itself. Yes this Gold Coast team knocked off sydney 2 weeks ago but I would like to think we will put the perfect game together today.Ā 

If this club is serious about finals the 22 will run out today, win and win well. Today is a good day to boost our percentage.Ā 

But excited to go and looking forward to seeing Vanders back in the red and blue.Ā

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

Really? Blowing a gale and gusty here.


Reminds me of the match against Carlton, even though we were virtually level at quarter time, you could see bigger more mature bodies of Demons, it was just a matter of time before we dominated the game.

Hopefully similar type match up today, with Demons on from the first bounce could be a very big win!

Leslie on T Mac?

kolojaznie on Hogan?

sounds like a race to 50 goals for the season. It’s not being arrogant, this GC is a rabble,way worse than st Kilda. If we can’t win easily we should not thinking about finals. Therefore I am not worried

put Trac in the Trac fwd line too and bomb it in

why am i so nervous? i shouldn't be so nervous

where would one start:

Carlton..2016

Collingwood ...2017

St Kilda ... 2018

GC will out to prove a big point now their captain has officially said cyas. Danger game IMO

my main thing is it's not in gc17's best interests to get another win in 2018

they need to maximise not just their own draft pick but the compo pick for lynch

they sneak a couple of wins and a pick 2 and 3 combo could easily become a 5 and 6, which is quite a starkĀ difference

GCS lookĀ frail and undermanned, and have probably 'checked out' for 2018.Ā Ā Starting today, we should take the first step towards serious September action. Just focus on the job at hand, and get itĀ done.Ā  Start buildingĀ momentum now.

Richmond last season after a diabolical defeat at the hands of St Kilda in round 16 strung together a series of mostly solid but all unremarkable wins. However in Round 22 against a flaky Freo theyĀ destroyedĀ them by 104 points to solidify strong finals credentialsĀ though pundits still thought they were not the real deal.Ā We should do the same today hopefully.

Unless a miracle happens and Blues beat GWS.........wouldn't that be golden to see the AFL Giants crumble again.

On paper this is the weakest outfit the Suns have put out this season and we should annihilate them.

That said, I can see this playing out very differently if we are the slightest bit off.Ā 

If I was Stuart Dew, I wouldn’t even bother with any other instruction other than to play for each other and have fun.

We should remember that the Suns put away the Swans a couple of weeks ago and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Not worried by today but the real action starts next week.Ā 


is anyone else not confident? (regardless of the fact that we are home playing a 17th placedĀ team without both of their captains)Ā

MFCSS activated.

Ā 

Suns can't afford to win as they will go from 17th to 15th and give up draft picks 2 and 3 (Lynch compo) for 4 and 5.Ā  Doubt they will take the chance of Lions/Saints losing games so they can stay on 17th.

They can do some decent trades with pick 2/3, especially SA clubs as apparently this draft is stacked with top end SA players.Ā  Lesser trades with picks 4/5.Ā  Adelaide seem very keen for a top 2/top 3 pick.

...we will win and a repeat of the record i50's last time we played and much more accuracy will make for a very good result!

Edited by Lucifer's Hero

I think we should be fine and win by at least 8 goals. I rarely say that but the Suns sadly have a skeleton side out there.

Many might reckon that the Lynch confrontation will fire them up but I reckon it will have the opposite effect. A young team lacking in genuine leaders needs as few distractions as possible. That shitestorm was the last thing they needed.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark.Ā The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss.Ā The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.Ā

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    ā€œMax Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.ā€ - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • 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?
