Am really interested to see how our forward line goes tonight.

    I'll be interested in the analysis of the game by those who know - how will Clarkson approach this. Of course, he's not got the cattle he used to, and therefore his approach will be different. How will a team down the bottom of the ladder (but brilliantly coached) approach the task?

     

    I’m not really worried, just mindful that we have been off against lower ranked teams. I really want the player to bring a huge amount of pressure early to overwhelm them and get early scores on the board. 

    I’m also excited, I arrived from the UK yesterday and am watching the game from quarantine. Great to watch a game at a normal time, and great to be home.

    AVB is the right man at the right time to step things up a notch for us with his hard as nails defensive intent and attacking attitude.

    Tear the Hawks a new one Vanders. 

    Vanders reminds me of your namesake.

    Rain easing, a few light showers during the evening. It's rained a bit during the last few hours so condition of the ground will depend on how fast it soaks it up. It'll be slippery nonetheless.

    Also can confirm cold as balls

    Sent the husband out to BBQ the steaks. Shiraz has been downed. We are ready.

    Big day. The boy's U-11 side played in the most atrocious conditions this morning...suffered a gallant loss at the hands of the evil Marist College. Since Marist were top and the Dees are top (I don't count Geelong) then that's the omen for a Demon win.

    Also, been at the pub all afternoon trying to warm up.

    Go Dees!

    When do we start booing Frosty again?

    Personally I'm not one for booing Frosty.

    Always respected that he had a fair dinkum crack at it, when he played for us.

    I hardly think he went chasing the big bucks, just a guy trying to give himself a reasonable chance of consistently playing at the top level, when he could see the writing on the wall with the stocks of defensive thoroughbreds we now have with May, Lever and Co.

    Agreed - in all serious, besides ‘he who shall not be named (who has now retired anyways)’ is there anybody we actively boo?

    I can’t think of anybody

    My lucky socks are on. I do need to note that they are Oliver socks I got as a present and while they’ve served me well, Oliver has not kicked a goal in any game I’ve worn them. So it is 100% my fault.

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
