Go Saints.   We would pull even on points with Geelong if they lose tonight and we beat the Pies.

And Im sure we all wanna see Geelong miss the finals in general anyway.

 

I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

pies have rested moore and reid for the crows, lost four more to injury and brought bad the great man lynden dunn for his first game in two seasons

Go the Crows !!!


I reckon the saints are more likely to slide down the ladder. So I’m ok with the cats winning. 
 

Saints are majorly overrated 

Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

Time to mow down the Saints.


Saints getting belted. Lovely. Wouldn't surprise me to see them tumble out of the 8 with the run home they have. 

Hawkins 5 goals straight

Saints dropped 12% and are now only 2% above us.

Saints total pus tonight. Great to see.

Who knows what to make of this season.

Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

“Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
 After siren.
“your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

No reply yet. 


Have saints played West Coast yet??

Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

 

This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
 

Stuff St.Kilda. Inconsistent at best.

Hope Freo beat the hawks.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
