One Flag and I am cured of MFCSS . The MFC army IS mustering after a long furlough . The members was packed . As the season goes on more will join and other teams supporters will jump on for the finals . We are 4 games ahead of Richmond in 8th . Pinching myself so often to make sure I am not dreaming that I am red and blue on the outside .

    Looking at the season from afar and if all lists are healthy coming into september.TO me it's a race out of 5 teams this year

    Dees,dogs,port, tigers and cats

    Just all comes down to the top 4 and where everyone plays 

    Anyone can knock anyone off on the day ATM but if the interstate teams don't make the top 4 it's going to be tough for them 

    The only real smokey at the g is the Swans it suits there game but I think the kids will run out of legs in a long season

    Just hope like hell we keep doing what where doing

    go demons

    I would drop the Tigers ( said after 2nd round they would be lucky to make the 8 ) and put in Brisbane . Hoping Lions also  tire at season .

    The only significance of 9 wins in a row is that it is one more than 8 wins in a row.

    One week at a time. First make the eight, then the four, then the two.

    Have been through too many false projections.

    Sadly I agree with you tiers however I do enjoy 9 zero more than any other result at this point. And we still haven’t beaten anyone above us!

    I've always had the view that it's not a bad thing if you’re not playing your best football this time of year.  I just worry that we've peaked too early.

    Already won as many as last season.

    I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.

    We need to finish top 2 to give us the best chance of winning the flag.  This season it is likely that 16 wins will secure top 2.  As such the only significance of our 9 - 0 start is that we now required just 7 wins from the last 13 games to achieve this.

    I don't think we've peaked at all.  Working out what is our optimal forward set-up is very much work-in-progress.

    Just taking it one game at a time, no point in stressing ahead of time, enjoying the serenity of it all and we still haven’t played our best Footy yet. Each win puts us that much closer to Finals footy and how we all loved 2018 and we are now a better team. 2021 roll on and on.!!!!

    Go Dee’s...!!!!

    was intending to go on Saturday but the weather and drive put me off.

    Bulldogs is a real possibility.

    Would love a game at Preston/Windy Hill/Coburg or Port.

    Seems that the VFL draw pits the AFL related teams against each other.

    The streak is challenging for mental state. Increasingly I've found myself going to the footy hoping not to lose rather than to win. Makes it slightly less enjoyable when we do inevitably grind out our predictable 4-5 goal win.

    Such strange times! Loving it though, can't wait to see how we go in the Bulldogs game. Every chance they get roadblocked by our impenetrable defensive walls and our big boys turn on up the offensive hurt factor.

    I’d like to know the significance of 9-0 for other teams in recent history i.e. last 20 years. How many teams that went 9-0 ended up winning the premiership?

    we keep saying this but starting to wonder if they can improve greatly.

    You don't improve forward delivery overnight for example. 

    Goals v Behinds is 50% luck... just ask Dusty

    The fringe players are contributing well

    Probably LJ has the greatest upside

    Sure there is scope for improvement but not sure it will come.

    Of course our present standard has been good enough so far

    I think there is a case to be made, OD, that we have beaten everyone above us ...

    just noticed we have a VFL game against the Swans on Sunday at 1pm at Casey.

    Assuming the sub and the emergency are back from Adelaide it could be a strong Casey side.

    Sunday weather looking not too bad.. 18 fine and a medium breeze

    Sadly Casey is the other end of the earth from me in the north west DJ. Hopefully that game is on tv.

    • 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?
