I find that the pre-match Demonland threads lack a certain intellectual rigour and brings me no closer to deciding whether we will beat our opposition or not . . .

So, introducing Omen Watch:

I was visiting the hospital tonight, in ward C5 (Petracca?) and noticed a digital sign which read 'U4 EG afl. los'

I'm thinking it's bad.

But a duck also died next to my house the other day.

Maybe that's good?

    Was the duck killed by an eagle? If so, could be a bad sign.

    Not cryptic enough. Bring back the riddler from the draft forum a few years back!

    Yesterday I saw a woman wearing blue and yellow socks walking across the road, she tripped over the gutter and landed on her stomach. Pretty sure she was awarded a free kick. Good sign or bad sign?

    Was it you who gave her a kick? Could be a good sign.

    My girlfriend got the dead duck out of the water - but not with a Gaff.

    I visited a farmer last night.

    He had 22 dead Wedge tailed Eagles shot and strung up along a barbed wire fence.

    Inside the house a huge fire was lit.

    Out of the fire appeared 22 Tasmanian Devils who scooted out to the fence and devoured the Eagles before running into a massive laurel Bush  and murdering a nest of Magpies.

    Seems fairly positive.

    Looks like someone is trying a different brand of bathwater.

    Is it an omen that in Sydney this week I've had multiple sightings of other Demon supporters in team gear? There's clearly some pride and determination still to be found. Possibly stung by the irritation of being around Swans supporters.

    I saw a father and son today, the son was wearing a demon t-shirt and and a red and blue jacket, the father had a demon key ring.

    So for me if i see fellow dee's before the game it's good luck, how ever if i see the other team colours it's always bad.

    So all good for this week?

    When my wife was with child a few years back I was at St Vincents Hospital and noticed one of their Obstetricians was named Dr Pregs Pillay.

    Then I had a baby. (Not actually me, you understand.)

    I think we've got this one.

    • 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.

    • 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?
