OK, its here.  I think this is a really important one.  Have we ‘turned the corner’ or was the hawks game just a blip?  How we play and getting the chokkies is so important today.

 

Channeling 2016 and 2017:

We'll be given a run in the first half and then smash it open in the second. I will still be annoyed and mostly bored.

    Expecting a close game. GC have been pretty competitive all year. Dees by 72. 

     

    First game all season ive been confident of a win.   Called the Round  1 loss to Port unfortunately.

    We will win by 10 goals minimum today and continue our road back from 1-5 all the way to a deep finals run

    Scrappy game to the point where I’ll be wanting to gouge my eyes out with a butter knife. 

    Suns by 17 points. 

    Season red rover.

    Suns have rightly been given credit for their start to the season. However, they are 3-4 with a percentage of 76 compared to same round last year (3-4, 81%) when we played them. 

    So a loss here would demonstrate how dramatically we’ve fallen off the cliff.

    With that being said, we should be winning this one.

    Serious danger game..... should win comfortably.... either we lose by 10 or win by ? 

     

    not even game to predict which one!

     

     

     

    Always tough these games, win & it’s “oh only GC”. Lose and it’s “how bad losing to GC” We simply must just bank the 4 points to keep the season alive, try keep building on 2 wins a row and keep this season alive. A loss and it’s curtains obviously

    Well I have no idea what to expect. I don't have foxtel so can't watch it at home so will be checking the scores. I hate listening to game on the radio when you can't see what is happening. 

    But I expect to win, I hope we do and there are no injuries. 


    GC getting a few good players back and up there, it'll be tough. Think we will get done by 3-4 goals

    We should get the job done in a scrappy game by about 20 points. Similar to the Sydney game 

    I predict that if we lose watch the 'Sack Everyone...', and 'Sack X' threads be resurrected with a vengeance!

    In which case a self imposed holiday from DL for a few days to avoid the meltdowns will be a good idea.

    Dees by 10 points, perhaps. With OMac in, might have to concede the game to the GC, with runners sneaking in behind him for shots  at their goals - often. If Omac comes off for the bench, a 20 point win to the Dees. 

    As I'm confident of a  win I would have loved to escape the chill by going north to watch this game. However, as there is something of a cash flow crisis at The Manor, I shall settle for the big screen.

    For once let’s support the team regardless 56. OMac bashing 5 hours before the bounce hey? Let’s at least wait until 5 minutes into the game before it commences. 

    Not sure how many times we have to read about how useless he is to some.

    C’mon Demons!

    He’s not alone- most key forwards are struggling - ? New rules.

    Win or lose today I don't think will mean much. Wet coke, GWS, Adelaide and the filth. Given our form we would be lucky to win one of them.

    Yeah i dont know.....on paper yes but i think West Coast are not traveling all that well in 10th spot and falling, ......Pies are beatable, as are Adelaide. GWS shaping as the hardest of the 4. Today will go a ways to indicate further how we may fair...

    For next 4 weeks I'm going to be taking a uni course at RMIT and will be finishing today about 5 mins before the ball is bounced. Most likely gonna have to duck in to one of those terrible Lygon pubs..

    Anyhoo, yeah big game but let's face it they all are from here on in. Not flashing forward or jumping ahead in my mind just looking forward to finishing today and seeing me some red and blue go around.

    • 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.
