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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
