Great gesture by Max on his 100th

The inspiration for today’s game is persistence and dedication. 100 games to Max Gawn - a terrific achievement after undergoing so much hardship with injury in his early years at the club. D

I would like to think we start off like we did in the JLT game against Richmond and keep it up for four quarters rather than go into a shell as we did that day.

Of course, the real thing is all about intensity. I think we have the team to do the job.

Dees shop was doing a roaring trade this morning, helped by my sister and I both buying some merchandise. Ground looks a treat too. I’m pumped. 

 

Go DEES ?

Let's roll DEMONS

Any win is a good win today being Round 1

Could be 100 points or 2 points

Just win

Win it for Max, Win it for the Club Members, Win it for yourselves.

Believe that you can win every quarter...

Go in hard...

 

 

I feel like we can't lose when you're up and about, SWYL.

Anything could happen today. Port will go in hard, i have no doubt. 

Today will give us a good idea how much the players have matured. I saw it last night, late in the game. The Filth had 3 experienced players on the bench who couldn’t get on the ground. 

Players will now have to do some coaching on the ground, and sometimes they will have to hurt late in a quarter, like the old days. 

I like it. The runners became an obstacle on the ground

it’s round 1. An ugly scrappy win is fine by me, just win.

This will cost the teams with selfish players. Teams with team orientated players will benefit. 

Commentators on Thursday and Friday were noting that players on the ground were ignoring the bench to stay on the ground. I'm not sure if this was 100% accurate but if so it's not great from those individuals.

I can see the day coming soon when players will carry pagers to get them off the ground.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
