Here goes! About to finish up here nick off for a quick gym session, get home and swing to the sweet sounds of Buddymania. 

 

 

Thank goodness no Justin Westhoff (no goals since 5 vs us!!) clone 

Reid is a good player no shame if he plays well only that he plays few games .

We have just as much ability if not more but need to play as a team if not then it will be a very difficult assignment.

There's been a lot of gloom on Demonland of late. Although it must be said that even at the best of times, there is always a healthy miasma of despair hovering around the place. Comes with supporting the Dees I suppose.

And yes … I sat through two shockers this year and was ready to chew my own hand off. I did no such thing obviously and contented myself by giving the maid a jolly good thrashing.

Nonetheless onward and upward! Team sport is a strange beast and it only takes one special moment to turn zeroes into heroes.

Who will produce that memorable momentum changing moment tonight?

Perhaps Frosty will outmuscle Buddy in a one on one and then break away..... take a bounce or two and ….. kick a raking goal!!!!

    This is the damage that barracking for Melbourne can do. 

    (I'd say seek help, but the only remedy is to block everything out. Follow darts or international scrabble.)

    When are you thinking? Round 21?

    Hurling might be a more appropriate alternative Maze.

    There is the chance he could do that, apart from kick the raking goal. He will run to 50, stop, look around and get caught holding the ball...

    If it cheers anyone up, Buddy’s personal record against us is very poor considering he’s played for two of the best teams of the past ten years whilst we have been one of the worst.

     

    He’s never kicked more than 5 goals against us. (Equal second least)

    Hes kicked less goals against us than all but one other team (not including expansion teams and Hawthorn)

    In fact, he’s kicked more goals against Sydney than he has against the MFC.

     

    In Frost and OMac we trust.

    Jetta a late withdrawl - no reason given. ?  He hasn't looked right all year so better to let him recover than risk whatever it is getting worse. 

    Hore to replace him.

    Grateful that it is Hore not ANB to replace Jetts

    Jones to back pocket


    If dry, swans by 70+.  If wet, Swans by 50

    Buddy with 8+


    We are easily the worst team in the comp right now. Amazing given the talent on the list.

    I just don't want to see a zone in our backline where we see two players do nothing and then the oppo take an easy mark.

     

    Geez,  I don't like the look of these late changes. Jetta likely would've taken Heeney who will be a nightmare up forward. Wonder if Salem goes to him?

    Hope not. We need Salem distributing the ball off half back/wing. He’s a legitimately poor defender, and Heeney has been brilliant up forward and would kick a bag.

    Look at the team lining up is not very reassuring. This looks like season-ending stuff right here. How disappointing!

    Buddy will score more than the Dees tonight 

    Swans by 76

    Yeah yeah, I'm negative, blah blah 

    Doesn't mean I'm wrong

    It's going to happen tonight.

    I’ve just got back from 6 days of fishing and drinking beers. 

    My body is knackered. 

    I have tipped the Dees by 14 points tonight and will celebrate accordingly.

    Look I truly do commend you, I should have learnt my lesson I walked out on the Dees V Dogs game in 05 when White won us the game... Sadly I do turn the games off now I think part of me believes me watching is the problem and if I turn it off a miracle might happen....

    Lesson learnt. Left the MCG years ago v Fremantle and headed for Jolimont station. This was in the dark days. Heard a few roars from the remaining crowd as I trudged up the hill and assumed the Dockers had piled on a few more. Little did I know, Miller et al made a miraculous recovery and won the game. The lesson I should have remembered was at the Whitten oval when Robbie marked and goaled to seal it and make the finals after we looked like losing in the last quarter. Nearly got some serious aggro from the Footscray faithful as I celebrated. It's never over unless you're 20 points behind with 30 seconds to go. Now I'm older I turn to radio coverage or live scores from the AFL site. My blood pressure can't take it anymore.

    Straight into footy and beers, perfect.

    Not expecting much tonight with the extensive injury list we have. With Jetta and Lockhart out I count 10 on the injured list that would play in the 22. that is a lot of preferred players and depth missing from the list.

    While not expecting much, I think it will be close as I do not rate the Swans this season.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
