Shame the Tigers aren't playing this weekend.  Injury concerns: 

  • Dusty has a corked thigh from last week. 
  • Rioli sent off for scans after hurting his finger at training. 
  • Lambert left training early and limped off.

They all seem fairly minor and will be ok for their Prelim.  Damn it!  They have been blessed with injuries to first and second string players.  Surely, lady luck needs to go elsewhere now.  She has helped the Tigers enough!

    Back to this week:  GWS vs Coll.

    Would prefer GWS to beat our arch enemy and I reckon they have a better chance of knocking off the Tigers in their Prelim!

    Looks like nothing much there. They are cautious and rightfully so with a week off.

    Returning the favour and going to the footy tomorrow night with my husband. As much as I despise GWS, it’s in my genetic material to dislike Collingwood and I am not sure that I will be able to utter the words ‘Go Pies’ regardless.

    Big dilemma....

    The idea of a Melbourne vs Filth grand final is delicious, but I think Id just rather see them go out in straight sets like the Hawks.

    A final 4 without Geelong, Hawthorn , Sydney ad Collingwood is the perfect outcome.

    The Richmond club doctor, their medical and rehab team are the best thing going around in the AFL since sliced bread. Nothing to see there.

    Changing of the guard time:  :...for the first time since 2002 next week's preliminary finals will be played without either Hawthorn, Geelong or the Sydney Swans participating".

    Isn't that a bl00dy good thing!!

    Time for the young pups to take over!  Like us, yeah!

    For all the heartache we have been through to have had a successful rebuild and be in the position we are now to take on the newcomers is awesome.

    I have a funny feeling the giants will beat both the pies and the tigers.

    Not sure this is the way the official AFL app should be promoting a game (or a specific players antics) :

    I would love this. In finals over the years we have won 19 out of 20 times against Collingwood.

    Is the 20th, the 1958 Grand Final, when they stopped us winning 5 flags in a row?  Sam's grandad, Murray Weideman was their captain and kicked the winning goal.  Our 1964 Premiership players are still filthy about missing that flag.

    Then we beat them in the our last flag in 1964.

    With that rich history and young Sam Weideman in our team there would be much symbolism if the old rivalry was relit in a GF of Dees vs Pies -   Would love to beat them again.

    yeah.. but at least you'd get  a cheap ticket and in a perverse way if we can't be there I kind of like that match up

    • 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?
