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.

    what is cutoff time for late changes?

    Usually 90 minutes before the bounce. So about 12.15pm today.

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
