    Surreal as the umpires walk out.

    I really want to see Langdon stop and prop to assess his options today. Brad Hill is someone who does this well and when you have that acceleration you don't need to just run off the moment you get the pill.

    Cue the trade-in May vs. pick King comparisons 

    There is no comparison. King will be a star for the next 10 years. May was what we needed at the time. 
     

    Tmac to toe a behind for a 4th qtr last play victory that catapults our season!

    Yep his ball use has been trash and a major disappointment. Because other than his ball use, I’ve loved his run and spread and his speed on the wing. But he lets himself down with execution and decision making time and time again. 

    Melksham needs a big game today if he wants to retain his spot. When he plays well we play well forward of the Centre so fingers crossed he can pull a finger out today.

    I'll preface this by saying yes, I know, all that stuff since 1964 and over the past 18 months. But even before the media pile-on I detected something different in the players as they walked from the field after our last match, heads hanging lower than usual, and then also in the post-match presser with Goody. They are frustrated with themselves. Relocating operations interstate is undoubtedly difficult, but I think this week is a character test. Line in the sand stuff. If they don't come out firing then I'm not sure what hope we have.  

    Carn the Demons!!

    Big games expected from Viney, Oliver and Melksham

    As long as we continue to look to draw a ‘line in the sand’ we’ll continue on with the mediocrity mentality. 
    We need to be at peak mentality at all times.

    get ready for stress and excitement for 3 hours

    I've got a cherry coke to keep me happy if we lose  

    Was Lockhart practicing his [censored] golf swing during the warmup? Is this under 10s?

    but the game only goes for about an hour and a half!


    I have no expectation of winning this, but here we go.

    I miss watching the set shot kicks for goal before a game while I eat a four n twenty pie. 

    They will miss it when they count

    I feel that it's reasonable to resort to cliches while trying to amp myself up for a game I've been pretending all week not to care about.

    Can we assess, hold up when needed,  look around and pick the right options.  Then hit them up particularly up forward?

     

    Do we play that ridiculous front half zone tonight as per the Cats and last year against the Tigers?  Hopefully that's well behind us and we bring the pressure intensity on our oppenent through the corridor.

    Can the Weid take a few grabs, get involved and hit the scoreboard?

    How does Harley go?

    Do Salem and Melk finally show "SOMETHING"!??

    Good luck fellas and lets hope we pull a finger or two out.

     

    Visible change in game style so far. Let's see if it continues.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • 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?
