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

Or why we will end up playing at Marvel.

Or why we should not play in Darwin, recruit better, coach our talent better and win games on our home dung hill. That’s how you build a winning organisation. Not by flogging off parcels of your land.

    Your plan is admirable but has failed for fifty years. I doubt I will hang my hat on it. Whereas Darwin works.

    Fighting 6 goal loss kicking 7 goals 20 points... Hogan to collect 25 and kick 4... 

    Probably a more likely result tbh.

    I would agree Bbo. However this year is not new to us. Most seasons are over by the end of May.

    I’m tossing up whether I should watch it on the tele or head to Bunnings, buy a snag and wander around their store aimlessly for the 3 hours.

    Never been less excited about a game, but a big win would be welcomed of course.

    Interested to see how our forward line goes with Jade back at the helm.  Actually , the entire team and style should be a lot different with the coaching reshuffle during the week.

    Ahh [censored] it,   Melbourne by 37.

    I’m off to Bunnings Steve. Guaranteed to see a snag

    Respect to anyone who is going today. [censored] that

    I'll be there. Top of the ponsford. With the same feeling I have had for 90% of the time i have supported the dees. Wanting to watch us win a game of footy. A game that stands by itself, disconnected from concepts such as ladder position and finals.

    I want to see us win. 

    God i hope we win today ,tired of not having a hangover on sunday morning

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

    I'm backing Brayshaw to play a blinder . . . hope Angus gets a few touches as well.

    Im afraid it would take 3 or 4 wins in a row for me to get interested again , been let down far too many times.

    Im going to the game of course, but not feeling exited. 

    Really looking forward to a hot pie.

    • 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.
