Things have been a tad chilly at Romsey of late.

I intend venturing forth to the warmer clime of Melbourne and basking in a mighty Demon victory.

I think we will win today.

Come at me bros.

 

Also have a gut feeling we’ll win. Not much logic involved, just a feeling.

That forward line gets me about as pumped as a two day old party balloon. Freo by 27 points.

Clarry v Fyfe and May v Hogan head to head will be fun to watch though.


A game a half average team should win. Playing an interstate team at home after a week rest. However unless it Carlton or Suns I have zero confidence particularly as Freo unlike us has the making of a pretty good team. They knocked off Collingwood so cant see them to worried about Melbourne. Whilst you always want to win in some way it will take more losses to wake this club out of it complacency and accept major change is needed. For the long term winning more game like this will just assign this year as unlucky and once luck return we will be competitive. Essendon have fallen for this trap and with our player and coach set up irrespective of winning a few game now how can you be confident of the future. 

Watch out for the New Rules........... run as far as you like, push the nearest opposition player into crowd whenever the opportunity arises, talk lovingly to opposition and  the judiciary.

Cannot fail....

Best of luck to Jade Rawlings in his first game back as forward line coach.

Heres hoping his influence has us kick 15+ goals and win by at least 4.

    I don’t believe we will win today. That said, I’m that far behind in my tipping comp I’ve gone for us. 

    Strategy. 

    I’m fully expecting a great game from No 11.........and I’m sure Max will also play a blinder....

    We’ve gone from $1.85 to $1.67 over night.

    Firstly why are we favourites?

    Secondly who had a big nibble on us last night and does he have some insider trading?

    I have no idea what to expect today.  A good start and kicking straight would help.

    So are people going to boo jesse today? I'm annoyed he left but with what he has been through i get it. I won't boo but I'm hoping he has a shocking day. May and hogan will be a good matchup.  

    I also don't think it will be a great crowd

    My thoughts too.

    Hope he doesn’t get booed but hope he has a dirty and undisciplined day.

    Expecting not much more than we delivered against GWS but will be happy if wrong.

    The three outs have certainly deflated the interest in this match.

    Why would anyone boo Hogan... infantile to say the least for those who do.

    Crowd wise if we crack 20k we will do well.. certainly won't have to worry about having less than half a section to myself in the AFL members.

    If your as bitter as you are optimistic then I pity your friendship circle

    No way we will win this. MCG is turning out to be a jinx of a ground for us these days.

    It's part of the theatre of the sport. Don't take yourself too seriously.

    $1.65 now, some punters probably still think Jesse plays for us.

    “Friendship circle” ? Got me on that one Josh!

    However, I must be lucky today. Dropped into the club for a pre game warmup. The moment I entered the spa everyone else chose to leave. Same with the sauna. 

    Go figure!

    Today’s crowd number  will be the perfect example of why we play games in Darwin

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
