Sportsbet Demons $1.90  Doggies $1.90.

Genuine 50/50 match. Result depends on which side is switched on ...

Demons ... please don't cough up a goal in the first minute or 2 ... it could be the margin at the end.

    Huge drift.  I wonder what's making the punters jump on the bulldogs?

    Yeh it's a bit concerning. You don't generally see a drift like that in a head to head market which makes me think that there might be a significant late change or MFCSS has kicked in and we're all laying off on the dogs too

    We've drifted in the betting last 2 quite a bit, so i'm happy with this.

    We usually lose when we are favourites in these games anyway.

    I think Collingwood started favourite last week, so today probably based on Max missing. Dogs been very inconsistent this year.

    Recall Demons cleaning up the Dogs in 2018 at Marvel/Etihad, am hoping we do the same today.

    Feels like tough game to call, we need to keep pressure on for four quarters and keep running! The last few weeks, mids and Even Jones have run both ways, plus mids also breaking free going forward with Much better decision making!
    These few breakthroughs in how we are playing make us a much better team, and provided we perform at same level today, I think we’ve got the Dogs!!

    Loaded up last week and got stiffed. North Pacific into Showmanship into Dees under 39.5. Never been happier to do my money!

    I think the Hawks were favourites too and we pumped them.  Demons 40+ it is.

    All dates from team selection last night.  Dogs ins are good, Gawn didn't get up, English did.  Hitherto nervous Dogs fans piled in.

    Been a while since we were in a game of relevance like this. We have what it takes now go get it done! 

    Time for this team to show they can be a consistent winning side, no excuses today, get it done.

    FWIW, its a mild, quite windy and overcast day here on the Goldy.  Very slight chance of a shower but the ground will be dry and conducive to good footy.  Will suit the speedsters like Langdon and Kozi but also Johannisen.

    Probably best Dogs team this year. It will be very tough.

    Dogs have some good running ball users in Daniel, Hunter, Smith, Macrae etc. We need to apply lots of pressure all over the ground or those types will cut is up on the outside.

    Keen to see Spargo vs Daniel - battle of the AFL midgets!

    Not sure how the wind effects us today

    Pro: We have more avenues to goal so that's a plus, could be a high turnover day

    Con: Our kicking skills may desert us and could be very costly on turnover.

    i'm confident and nervous at the same time, felt like this vs Port.....

     

    Oliver ,  Petracca  Brayshaw  Viney   and the help of  Langdon    .... All over the Doggies!    Game over.

    Another great 'Before The Bounce' by Gibbo today. If you haven't watched it; jump on even to just to hear Jones talk about his support of the Indigenous boys, speaks really really well on it. I might be reading into it, but you just get the feeling that Bennell is already a bit of a leader in a way at the club.

    Another 4 quarter effort like last week and we’ll get this done.

    Unless their score is larger than ours at the end (channeling @Ethan Tremblay)

    Spot on. Four quarter effort, kick more points than them and we should win.

    Full strength highly talented Dogs line up will be our toughest test for the rest of the season IMO.

    My thoughts,    very even game,  both sides at their best, fantastic,  I think we shade them in the midfield overall,  our backs at least equal to their forwards.

    and I think our forwards can shine on a dry day,  about 10 points a quarter better side Demons,   

    if we are switched on and play the four quarters.    Betting shifting has no effect on what happens ob the field, unkless you are playing Carlton or Collingwood and they  are betting their trip away money,

    Go Dees

    Can Bartlett please come and give the boys a quick spray?

    • 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?
