NON MFC: Rd 01 2021


Demonland

Recommended Posts


Wouldn't IT be nice if we could open the season with two hot sides such as Brisbane and Port at the GABBA or Adelaide Oval. Or a West Coast V Richmond or Geelong game at Optus Stadium. Something different to the same old same old Richmond/Carlton predictable yawn fest.

The GWS V St Kilda, Essendon V Hawthorn, Collingwood V Dogs games (and our game) should all be worth watching due to those games being hard to tip a winner.

The rest of the games on paper appear to be a yawn.

definitely hoping for a big win by the Toiges.... couldn't stand a Blues team on the way up

Draw between the dogs and the Pies

Giants and Saints is the other one that interests me... Go the Orange

They won't beat the Tigers DJ but they are on the way up.

Hopefully GWS soften up the saints before we play them next week.

Pies and doggies will be interesting. Wouldn't mind seeing the pies take a pasting and the pressure comes on buckley right from the get go.

Haven’t made the finals in 7 years - haven’t even been close. 

I guess the only way is up. 

looking at their line up, I doubt they will make it again.

So on the basis we have made it  1 year in ten years means they are  close to us.

No doubt we have been seller dwellers also over the past decade or so. But in the last four years we have won two finals and missed finals by one game twice. 

carlton have been 16th, 18th, 16th and 11th on the same time period.
So not close to us

It’s going to be sad when they beat us this year.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
