Very uninspired by these inclusions. I’d be surprised if we get within 10 goals of Richmond.

    Looking at their forward line vs our named back 6 (excluding Salem who can play) this could get incredibly ugly

    I am seriously in two minds about dragging myself out on Wednesday night. This is usually my favourite match of the season but there is only so much a supporter can take. I am still flat after Saturday nights loss so I am not sure I can put myself through that again in one week.

    Think I will decide on the night.

    bought some reserved seats but feeling the same way

    after living through Neeld, I never thought I'd see "long down the line to Jamar" as our main defensive transition "strategy". But that was all we had against StK (s/Jamar/Gawn/g).

    hugely disappointing - the losses under early Roos were ok - we could see what was happening and the defensive effort. 

    this is dross.

    Very rarely in my 28 years following this mob have I missed a game I can get to. I sat through almost ever Neeld mauling to the end, usually after a bad loss I vow not to return next week but as the week draws to a close I always give in... Short turn around has me still [censored] off so not going tomorrow night, unheard of for me. Travelled to Sydney only 2 weeks ago, they’ve lost me & will take a lot to get me back in the short term

    Which is such a shame, I suspect I am not the only one, this game at the start of the year should have been pushing 100k, club hasn’t held up there end. Be lucky to get 70k

    Going tomorrow feels like an actual chore. I’ve lost all interest. 

    Neal Bullen and Tim Smith in for us. Jack Reiwoldt in for Tigers. Life is so great when you’re a Melbourne supporter!

    Oh and Goodwin will never have the guts to drop Lewis just like he will never drop Hibbo or TMac who are both barely going. I suppose when the cupboard is bare you gotta make do with what you have.

    Not too disappointed by the ins although I’m not an ANB or a Tim Smith fan. But unless TMac plays back, we will get absolutely mauled by their forward line. If I  have to watch Hore or, heaven forbid, Hibberd pretending to be KPD on one of their guns I will vomit.

  • Quote

    Im not feeling overly enthused about going either but I better make the effort...we need a couple of fans to show up even if the players don't! Hoping for a competitive effort as we'd need an absolute miracle to win...

    I like the theme of the changes - we have brought in five blokes who can either give us some run or go hard at the contest. I think adding Jeffy is a smart move and I'm hoping to see Smith provide a couple of goals and some pressure when the ball hits the deck.

    It’s so true. His press conference comments about owing Lewis loyalty for what he’d contributed at Melbourne (and Hawthorn ffs) says it all in my opinion. He won’t make the tough calls on guys like Lewis, Jones and even Hibberd until too late.

    I was feeling the same way yesterday but I’ll be heading to the G.  The night is a great event and hopefully they put in more of an effort 

    It willl be a very satisfying victory if we can get over the line.

    I am cutting Lewis a bit of slack. Apart from The desperate Dees, who brings a player who has not played a game since September 2018 straight back into the side? Surely he should have had a few weeks in the two’s to get match fit. It least I know his trying, which is more than I can be sure of with a few others running around for us.

    Putting ANB in is a joke. Slowness and fumbles.

    Why is Smith in ahead of Kielty ?

    Should have rested TMAC and given petty a game.

    Why is lewis playing ?

    At least Stretch, Garlett and Lockard will inject some pace.

    Now, if we could just use it to advantage... ?

    I have the next 2 days off but would prefer to sit in front of the mirror and slowly insert toothpicks into my eyes than watch what promises to be a mauling live. In fact i will be doing my best to avoid watching on TV as well. Maybe the odd score-check until the game is obviously done and dusted just to save my family from my foul mood.

    Cant believe how quickly the team has turned my confidence into utter despair.

    Would actually like to see ANB played in the centre square and given the freedom to run all over the ground. Test some of the Tigers mids for fitness. I know he'll be ineffective with the ball but it's not like we are dominating clearances as is.

    Then our actual mids can all spend more time resting forward and play at a higher work rate when in the middle.

    The wings have copped a lot of the blame for the lack of transition running but if you watch the games it's actually Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney who are even further behind play. Harmes is about the only one sticking with it.

    He is a running machine, they could do a lot worse.

      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.

      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?
