    Was always going to travel up unless his wife was in active labor. So unless Jon knows the schedule of Tom’s wife’s uterus, I think we will need to wait until tomorrow lunchtime.

    Just checked the Sydney metro forecast for tomorrow. Max 19 degrees, partly cloudy, light winds. Chance of rain 10%. I'll take that any day.

    Thanks Jaded, now I'm picturing Jon Ralph giving us live tweets of the time of ruptured membranes and dilation progress.

    Melksham at his best is walk up start. Unfortunately, I just don't think he can get back to that any more. He's still valuable to play multiple roles throughout the game to keep the team balanced. His kicking is still an absolute weapon and I think the discipline and effort issues are behind him. He just doesn't seem able to cover the ground any more - when he chases, he looks to be running up and down on the spot.

    Agree.

    The football Melksham played in 2018 would make us even better than we currently are in 2021. His 45-degree angle field passes from half-back through to half-forward can rip sides open.

    But he's not getting enough of the ball to make that side of his game stand out, and his defensive efforts just haven't been good enough.

    I'm happy Sparrow held his spot.

    Happy to see Langdon back. 

    Just saw on ch 7 sport that both teams were on the same flight together and the captain of the plane played the pies theme song obviously for bucks. Seriously I hope our boys covered there ears.

    If it's John Ralph he'll probably tell us how many centimeters apart the contractions are, and probably monitor the wrong woman.

    At least it would be better than Robbo... that scene doesn't bear thinking about.

    2018 Melksham and Hogan are the only 2 players from that year I'd take over our current list I reckon.

    And BT would in all seriousness ask - “is that where babies come from?”

    And we’re the umpires on the same flight?

    If so sitting with whom?

    And were they singing along with Dolly Grey?

    I think that’s fair given that it’s the only time they’ll hear it this weekend… I hope for their sakes that they sung along with it.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      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?
