    biggest bummer is that mcg is now predicting a crowd of 58k

    that's at least ten, possibly twenty, short of what we'd ideally want to be achieving on what should be a fantastic night for football - 27 degrees during the day, cooling slightly in the evening

    if both teams were 2-0 and had played well to start the year then there'd be a lot more theatre goers and fans who can't be bothered coming along to it

    i can't wait, but i think it'll be peptides by 13 points in a scrapfest in front of a disappointing 54k or so crowd

    hope i'm wrong tho! i'd take a 31 point win in front of 45k that's fer sure

    First home game against Essendon since?

    Last time at the MCG was that disastrous rnd 2 game in 2016 where we lost to their VFL side. But our last actual home game against them was 2010 rnd 15 (beat them by 19 points).

    Lose this one and top 4 is gone.

    With the 80 point loss to Geelong our percentage will be a problem so we will need 14 wins to make the 8. Possible but throw in those two home games we have sold to the NT and the equation becomes unlikely.

    The upside is that we will have ample opportunity to trial the likes of Petty and Baker, get a decent draft pick and an easier draw next year.

    Big game to say the least.

    If we lose this then say hello to 2020.

    Apparently closing whole train lines for weeks at a time = intermittent construction works.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
