Are the Demons capable of coming out and displaying some shinboner spirit?

If they don’t I’ll be drinking some sort of spirit.

    Another game day arrives for us Demon diehards.  Another evening of:

    * Threats to smash the TV.

    * Threats to inflict pain upon an assortment of MFC players.

    * Forgetting I am at home, not at the game, and yelling abuse at players/umpires/commentators/random people.

    * The family cat giving my feet a wide berth.

    * My wife repeatedly saying “language, please!” from wherever she might be in the house.

    * Checking her whereabouts whilst sneaking to the fridge for some calming fluid.

    * Taking off my “lucky” game day Demons polo shirt off and driving it into the washing basket from 5 metres away.

    * Going to bed in a grumpy mood.

    * Waking up thinking about next weeks game.

    Viney to kick the winning goal on the run with 55 seconds left to win a high scoring affair - 6.10.46 to 4.17.41

    He's more likely to get caught trying to shrug a third tackler on the run from 30m out

    Won’t happen. He won’t get past the second.

    Still have no idea how Spargo gets a game!! I would play Weeds instead put him at CHF with Jeffy at his feet! The other thing I would do is play Clarry AT FF for periods of time. Call it madness but I would give it a try!

    Agreed, as long as the footy department wants to pick passengers, this team will really struggle to win. Perhaps that is the plan rather than tanking in games. 

    We can win this game but probably wont. As long as they don't do to us as the windies did to the pakies last night.


    Look at the teams we have beaten, and the manner in which we won.

    Then look at the teams we have been beaten by, and the manner in which we lost those games.

     

    The Crows arent a great team, but we will be lucky to still be in this match at halftime imo.

     

     

    P.S. Goody to mention "connection/s" at least 2 times in the post match presser.

    Not feeling the best today so unfortunately I won't be going to Werribee even though it is not far. What happened to VFL games on tv?

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
