    Well your good old Uncle Bitter is back after a spell of enforced rehab. ...... and a better man for it no doubt. I'm positively uplifted at the moment.

    Very [censored] that the game is in Sydley - the Olympic city as I had big plans for the footy  (and after) today! 

    As has been said elsewhere, the filth will come out hard right from the start. I expect they will stay in it until about halfway through the second and then our class should start to tell.

    We've suffered some costly losses to the filth at times and now it's time to put the boots in and give Bucks an unhappy send off.

    Dees to win by 38 points and sit happily atop the ladder going into the bye.

    Good to have you back Uncle.

    Lets smash the Pies and go 2 x games clear on top of the ladder for the first time since god knows when...

    1993, 1996, 1999, 2001-2019.

    Some of the senior citizens around here may recall if some Queens birthday games actually occurred between the two sides prior to 1990.

    The supposedly Queens-birthday game in 2000 when Farmer went nuts with 9 second half goals actually occurred on the Saturday afternoon of the q’Bday weekend of 2000.

    My memory is that it was around for a long time before that, at least back to the 1950s. I recall going to the game in the 1970s, and at some point moved away from the QB date (no doubt mirroring our fortunes as a club), probably in the late 70s or 80s. Reviving it sporadically in the 1990s, as above, seems consistent with my memories.

    I reckon our 9 goal win against the pies last year was our best.

    Lets do it again.

    Bagels, another coffee to do nothing for my rising anxiety about this match, and a pray to the uterus of Mrs McDonald to remain inactive for another 10-12 hours.

    Well we should win but I'm a tad worried with this being Buck's last game and suddenly the team want to send him out a winner. Funny enough if they tried to do that all season he wouldn't be in this situation. 

    Glad Langdon is back and Max should be able to dominate the ruck. We should have a good win today. 

    To all the lucky demons fans who get to go to the game barrack hard and have fun.

    Day’s festivities commenced with a lovely ensemble of asparagus mushroom and zucchini on toasted sour dough, followed by golf with the kids in the front paddock teaching them how to chip into a wheelbarrow - short game makes mo money.

    Funnily enough the fact this is Buck’s last game makes me think our guys will take this match more seriously as they know the Pies will come out swinging. Maybe that works in our favor. We won’t be caught off guard like we did against Adelaide. To go into the bye 12-1 sets us up beautifully for a strong tilt at a top 2 finish and guaranteeing ourselves a run of MCG finals*

    My ladyfriend (also a Dees' supporter) is bringing round quiche to enjoy during the match. I'll be putting together a simple salad. No cheese platter though. Too fattening.

    I bought tea cake for afternoon tea.

    As for beverages, I have beer. But was more thinking of a light red, such as temporanillo or pinot noir. 

    And, like other posters, I'm suffering from MFCSS. FFS Dees, get off to a good start!!!

    Pumping a club with an outgoing coach will add another layer of ruthlessness about the team. 
     

    Exterminate.

    My tip?

    We smash them by 50 plus points.

    We will bring the full heat today and give some of their younguns a right fright.

    And their two best mids, pendles (did you know he has a basketball background - so much time) and number 22 are slow as so will get caught all day.

    Pies will surely look to attack like they did last week given its buck's last game.

    If they do our pressure will cause them to turn it over all day. 

    If they go slow we will press up and cause turnovers in our front half.

    Gawn will have a field day and our three big 3 defenders will love the lack of pies height.

    Smashing coming up.

    I know that we are a much better team than the pies and we should smash them out of the park but this little voice keeps popping into my head and filling me with dread. Come on you mighty Demons please put my fears to rest, be the hunters, kick straight and show them all that we are the Best.

    Go DEES….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Any idea what sort of cheque Gladys B  will be writing to us after the game?

    Hopefully this is the last of the relocated games this year.

    She's dipping into the state pork barrelling fund. Yankalilla Bowling Club will just have to wait a little longer for their upgrade.

    We are surely the only supporter base in the country who on game day discuss what we are eating and drinking and it’s not VB and a servo pie, but smoked meat and aged whiskey and salad and cheese ?

    Stand alone game on national TV.
    The boys will take this seriously regardless.
    They're enjoying making statements with the football world watching these days.
    I know I'm enjoying watching them do it.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
