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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
