This Thursday night game day seems strange but heres hoping we get the job done.

Go Dees.

As much as I thought I wouldnt enjoy this season its interesting the emotional pull footy can have. Must be some strange tribal thing.

    Game day, bit weird. Getting through the border checkpoint tomorrow is gonna be a bit dicey...?

    Magnificent morning here in East Brisbane just 600 metres from the Gabba. Blue skies and not a cloud in sight. It has been sunny and breezy the past few days so the conditions should be conducive to good football. I am looking forward to seeing the boys live and up close tonight.

    If we can bring our best game, Port is certainly beatable. Westhoff is my concern. He seems to save himself for games against us. Harmes to lock down Boak would be good to see.  Wishing the young bull Tommy Sparrow all the best. I think we will find that we have unearthed another good one.

    Seems I’ve only just responsibly recycled the empty Shiraz bottles after last Sunday’s disappointment- and here we go again 

    We’ve had a couple of near misses so we need to win this one to stay in the contenders column 

    The side looks good but it is a pity we couldn’t pick Vanders    I reckon it will be a physical affair. You would hope mids learnt a bit from the Brisbane game and ..... surely Weid couldn’t kick so shizen again

    Tmac was showing a bit prior to his injury so I reckon he’ll be hungry to make a contribution  

    Jackson looks the goods and is growing in confidence  If he could snag one early it would give Port’s defence an ugly moment 

    One good thing to come out of this Corolla business 

    Demons by a couple of goals

    He has been dreadful this year, but as you say, he always seems to kill us.

    Enjoy PD!

    Seems like only yesterday that I'm heading into the bar at the MCG at the 22 minute mark of the 1st quarter because we are 3 goals down...

    Big Thursday night audience on the TV - opportunity here.   Traditionally we flop on these occasions but I’m optimistic.  
     

    Perfect conditions for footy. 
    24c and sunny. Overnight low of 11c. Clear skies. 


    If we kick the first few goals then stay in front from there, we should win.

    Does anyone else find it amazing that we went with the four smallest forwards on our list in Rd 1 against a tall Eagles side, reverted to a one-pronged tall attack against Richmond (Rd 5, game four I think)  and now we are going with three talls up forward for a night game. Does that sound like Goody has clarity about what structure to go with to you?

    Thankfully the weather forecast for Brissy is great for tonight so our bigs should be able to hold on to their marks, unlike last week when the greasy conditions spelt disaster for them.

    Let’s hope it’s not the last game we get to see live given those 2 imbeciles that have Covid decided to go on a tour of all parts of Brisbane rather than self isolating. 
     

    Make it a good win Dees, we need it.

    Apart from ANZAC Eve, have we ever previously played a Thursday night game broadcast on free-to-air TV?

    Twice.

    We got flogged by WC in 2011 in Perth by 8 goals.

    We beat Sydney last year by 20 odd points.

    Both times we were fixtured on Thursday nights as the AFL backed us in to be something special for both years.

    Who and how do we deal with big Charlie? 

     

    Gawn should dominate again but can we take advantage?

     

    Three big forwards can this work?

     

    Anyone can help me? Or should I just wait.

    You should be right mate. It's only 2 people. 

    If SE Queensland starts having tons of cases, it's season over considering VIC and NSW are now off the table.

    Melbourne by 55.

    May will dominate that big Ned Kelly wannabe.

    Thanks for that BBP but unfortunately they have been all over the place and a 3rd person now affected  

    I am still annoyed that people can be so selfish and put communities at risk after all the good work we have done up here. 
     

    It really does astound me and not in a good way. I can only hope it doesn’t spread that much and can be contained.

    With the horrible new in Victoria just keeping on keeping on, I for one am looking forward to 2 hours of being angry at something other than Covid.

    Surely May has to take Dixon. If Oscar is on him Charlie will just dominate. 

    I have no idea what to expect tonight, but if the players target Gawn like they did last year then I hope the boys are ready to defend him. 

    By the way serious question, where is watts. I know he had that leg injury but what has happened to him? 

     

    So is the Gabba our new home ground? For now??...Im a bit confused......

    • 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.

      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?
