Are the Dees September 2018 better than the Tiges and Bulldogs circa 2017 and 2016?

In my view they are, as Champion Data has been saying all year, playing a superior brand of football. Their best l have no doubt is surpases all comers, the question we all have is can they deliver on the day?

 I have been madly following this football club for 50 years, and for the first time in my living memory before a big game l have an innerving calmness about the result here. Gone are the nightmares they will fall into a hole. Their brilliance is just so good, that somehow or other you feel they will get it done. It is wonderful...

Go you mighty Dees!

    Better overall team than the Bulldogs ... yes... but they had a glorious month... we may not.

    Richmond...last year... probably a bit below... Their last 5-6 weeks of the home and away season was seriously impressive which mean they finished top 4... we did not. On the other hand Richmond are probably above us by around the same margin that Adelaide were better than Richmond last year.

    Who knows what the next three weeks will bring. I am expecting a win tonight but after that ?????

    Were the sides the doggies and the tigers faced better than the ones we might face?

    You'll get your answer in 3 weeks at the latest or tonight at the earliest.

    Let's all settle down a bit. All things considered, we are still a club that has made one set of finals in 12 years and has won an elimination final. 

    This talk of us being 'a power' or being better than the Tiges or Doggies can only be entertained if we win the flag. 

    If we don't then we are just one of 17 other teams who didn't salute.

    Technically, at the end of today we might have won two finals.

    The hype on Demonland this week is ridiculous. Even from normally rational posters.

    The doggies last four victories to secure that flag were frankly outstanding. Tough opposition, interstate games. They fully deserved what they achieved

    Simple, IF we beat the Hawks tonight and then beat  WCE in WA   Assuming Richmond make the GF, then we will test the theory.

    Too soon to say, wouldn't you thing so?  Lets get through Hawthorn firstly and mostly.

    Richmond and the Dogs had played finals the previous years before they won it.
    I think we're about as good as they were the years before they won.
    We still have too many who lack composure and have skill errors during the big games.
    Like they did.
    But anyhoo ...... Lets kill these forken Dawks.

    If we don't win tonight we're barely better than Geelong circa 2018

    The whole 'fairytale' thing gives me the irrits. It makes it sound like it is rigged for us to win. I wouldn't complain if we do, but I just find it annoying.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
