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?

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
