I don't share everyone's confidence

Yes they have outs but Hawthorn are still a great outfit, coached well and have experience across the board.

We should win, but I fear we may run into a team desperate to respond who rarely lose two in a row.

Hawks by 25. Would love to be wrong

 

Forecast for the rest of Friday

    I have planned this well as I have a full knee replacement on Monday. If the Pies(puke) had won I would have left the hospital and straight to the G for the prelim but happy to watch the match from Perth on TV now.  Allow yourself plenty of time to get there and walk slowly.

    I feel a  bit more nervous today than last friday. Im expecting Clarko to have his hawks up and going. This week has been virtually all baout us. We all know how good of a coach Clarko is. There has been a reason why that team has been the best team over the past 10 years. 

    It would be great if we could get off to an awesome start like we did last friday night. 

    Come on boys get the job done and lets keep this dream going

    Hearing Hardwick to be a late out!!! 

    Edit: reported on SEN so no inside word

    Put $50 on a Hawthorn win and you can watch the game knowing either outcome will make you feel slightly happy.

    Think we can do it. Go Dees

     

    Why would you do that? $50 down the drain. Have faith you could have made money tonight my friend.

    We are primed.  No changes and confidence is sky high.   Hawks will need to do a lot of reshuffling with O Meara and Stratton out.

    We should belt them if we bring the same manic pressure as last week.

    ...and kick straight.

    Just need to bring last weeks intensity and take our chances better and will be fine. Dees by 28.

    Stay with m til half time then belt them in the second half. Losing this would be devastating. It will be harder for the boys this week than last week.

    I reckon the dream for 2018 ends tonight. We are good enough on our day, but you cant expect kids to keep getting up every week. 

    Hope to be wrong though.

    We would beat the Eagles again if we could make it past the Hawks.

    Go Dees.

    LOL.  I was reading the paper today and Ladbrokes are  saying all the money is coming in on Hawthorn which I found interesting....  I didn't realise it was from Dees supporters!

    Viney's second game back in round ten 35 possessions. Just saying. Against the team that was fourth on the ladder at the time.

    You might want to recheck that history. Before this year sure but we have won most games as Fav this year. Including the last two against top eight sides.

    Perfect weather for a night at the G!

    And no rain means we'll see all our goals with no obstruction whatsoever.

    Great way of putting it. We haven't really been in this position in a long time. We've been a little better at dealing with it in the last few weeks, and we'll continue to get better.

    Blake Hardwick "may" be a late out for the Hawks tonight. - Tim Watson SEN

    Is he the player that commentators refer to as a ‘tough nut’ purely because he has a mullet?

    I think adrenaline will be fueling some of the boys who might be getting tired. They just need to win 3 more games this year, that's doable - and it's only two weeks away!

    We've got tonight, Dees by 4 goals. Not a blowout. Just another strong performance where we take our chances.

    The boys know what to do. Confident of a reasonably comfortable victory.

    That's him! Instant tough nut, just add mullet.

    No worries, we were favourites last week too.

    This is a new Melbourne.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
