I am staying off the beer until the game has finished.

I swore off the grog till the season ended for us, or we had a win in the last 3 games.... I even made sure i had nothing in the house so i couldnt sneak one "by mistake". Working an afternoon shift today that finishes at 10pm, but there is one bottle shop that is open till 11pm in town, so if we DO win, im there straight after work to buy a nice bottle of the sponsors product to celebrate with.

Sadly, im expecting to drink coffee when i get home.

After last week walking from the MCG I thought of supporters from Eagles, Swans, Hawks, Geelong.  Wow they have had so much enjoyment over many years in finals.  I ask why not us, I am a passionate and paid up supporter of the Dees and renew membership every year.  They say the competition is meant to give all a chance, but here we go, Sydney make the finals again, same with Hawthorn and Eagles, Geelongs soft draw will allow them too.  

Their supporters now sitting back waiting to buy finals tickets...but alas dees supporters do not have that luxury.

life sucks been a dees supporter.

Are any our second tier players big game performers?

Hope a few take the game on and have a big impact. Alex Neal-Bullen, Sam Frost, Aaron vandenBerg, Dom Tyson, Bailey Fritsch as possibles. It will set us well for a finals campaign (if we make it) as the A list can't do it without them.
Time for them to be accountable with a minimal error count, plenty of 1 percenters, heavy defensive pressure and some take the game apart moments.

We can't do it with passengers, all 22 with their footy brains turned on, plus the coaching staff proactively adapting our structures.

Big test today. 

Go Dees!

I just can’t see us winning this. I hope I’m  wrong but I’m going in with minimal expectations to avoid disappointment.  

Don’t worry Jaded we will win this one just so they can really ramp up the disappointment next week when they find some new an unusual way to just miss finals.

Sydney are rubbish and we should have won.

Port are rubbish and we should have won.

Geelong are rubbish and we should have won.

I can't remember another era with so many rubbish top 8 teams.  Ever

West Coast are rubbish and we should win.  I believe we will.  Time to flex a little bit of muscle and show we belong in the finals.

I've lost my positive about our Dee's but fairdinkum why call out others when we are no better? We didn't beat any of them or the Aints either, yet you bag THEM for being rubbish, sorry but i find it amusing until WE CAN beat them and become relevant.

There’s one in riversdale road Hawthorn that’s open later than that.

What we must do is start well. Plenty of pressure and put score on board early to take out crowd which in turn will take out umpires. Weid to assist Gawn with 3 goals between them and plenty of others from Tom Mac etc. and we win. SIMPLE.

Whatever we do, we CANNOT let them take intercept marks in defence. That killed us again last week . I like the idea of Weed playing on McGovern

It’s happened all year especially vs top 8 sides, we smash teams in the clearances but we have players starting off the back of the square. I don’t get it

For the third week in a row Asia misses out on watching the Dees.

Instead we have the big ones.

 

The middle game is never  on FTA there. Plenty of venues that have the footy. Where are you?

this is a must win for us. If north roll adelaide which they probably should do then have stkilda next week which again they should win then we are out of the finals. if this team wants to be part of the september action then today is the day they need to step up the pressure and win.

There’s still time for redemption!

Four cans before the game starts and you should be semi relaxed, we’re going well just a leisurely can a quarter, not so well, an extra can a quarter and a few at half time and by the end of the game you won’t care!

Slightly more difficult if it’s a close match!

What does it say about us that we can’t even beat these rubbish teams or that we might miss out on finals altogether when so many teams in the top 8 are rubbish?

We can’t be excluded from this list of “rubbish” teams presently.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
