And yet we were only 2 goals down early in the last 

Not saying we will win by 10 goals tonight, but the wrist slashing and hyperbole on Land of late is both ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Some posters need a big injection of positivity up their clacker. Life is too short to expect the worst every time.

 

Tigers by 90 points.

 

Luv it Mr. Shadow

$$$$$$ probably

Well that hasn't even been close to being an issue with the crowds we have attracted over the last few seasons.

No doubt tonight will be a little bit down on previous years, but it's not as if only 40,000 are turning up.  I'd say we will still get around 70,000.

I reckon I'll check the VLine App to see what time the next train leaves about 5 minutes into the 3rd.

    I never thought I'd have to go back to the bad days where I would go to the footy and it's a good day if we lose under 10 goals. But tonight I go to this game knowing we won't win. Last year we got beaten by 46 points in the same game.

    Anyway the good thing is get the game over tonight the weekend is free and by then everyone would have moved on. 

    But I am interested to see if Goody does anything different tonight. also would love to see some players get back into form who have been down.

    Not a place for a fist gamer tonight. Might ruin his career b4 he even starts. Love to see him get a decent go this year tho.

    Would need  a miracle to win tonight.    I give us  a 2% chance.

    Might be our best win ever if we can pull it off.  Cant believe the Tigers are paying 1.40 in the betting.   Easiest money anyone will ever make.

     

    My most fervent wish.....that we simply don't embarrass ourselves.....any further.

    Too much ??

    Me too WJ, and a similar result in a sporting sense will unfold tonight.

    Old Dee, you were responding to WJ's Gallipoli remembrance. Any chance the "similar result" you are expecting was meant from the perspective of the Axis powers?

    it's quite relaxing going into a game with zero expectations. 

    It's one of the advantages of being a Dees supporter for over 50 years. I don't get anywhere near as stressed about football matches as every non-Melbourne supporter I know (other than St Kilda supporters who are equally sanguine).

    Have we ever lost a game on a Wednesday?

    I was expecting a similar result to the Anzacs brave but in the end beaten badly.

    Think the dees might surprise us all tonight... not saying that means our season will turn around (though I hope it does), but I am more confident about tonight than I was about St Kilda. This is the type of game the Melbourne of old would win. 


    I think that I might take a sick day from being a MFC fan for tonight. I am down with a bad case of Demon apathy and there is a significant possibility I will become worse watching the game.

    Richmond with no Cotchin or Rance and Harmes on Dusty.

    We have to be very hard at it for four quarters as the tigers do not stop .

    I think the players are hurting and will give it everything tonight.

    Can we connect with our forwards and can we defend well enough?

    Time will tell, but I’m hoping like hell.

    You just need some Vitamin AnB and to do your stretch exercises. Not sure what you should do with Marty Hore, though.

    I know right. Puts bank term deposit interest rates to shame.

    Should really be Richmond $1.10.

    Edited by Bring-Back-Powell

    Any chance Richmond might be a bit knackered from Saturday night and won' have the energy to go on a 16 goal second half avalanche?If that's the case we must stay close with them at half time if we're any chance of a respectable result.

    Yes I know we alos played on Saturday, but we only ran one way so should have plenty in the tank...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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.
