Did anyone else notice that Brayshaw let this slip in the post match interview? Seems like its almost a done deal…

Yeah I did but thought it was just a slip up until the news today

    To be fair, we will comfortably account for the dogs if the current pattern continues.

    We are so bloody schizophrenic.

    More like bipolar, up and then down.

    Schizophrenia is living in delusional states, creating non realities. Which, is not true, we are a good side and have proven our credentials with some great wins.  We have not imagined them.

    Reality is, we are a hard side to beat.

    Though, our problems are in our head, we need mental strength and agility

    Well that sucks. I have been hanging to watch the dogs game, especially after missing the earlier game. We’ll still be lockdown next weekend I’d say

    PD's (personality disorders), are a degree of associated problems, we all exhibit some behaviour of each. So it comes down to how dysfunctional we are, not the behaviour.  

    I would suggest OCD (obsessive, compulsive disorder), is a more likely diagnosis within this threads topic and Demonlanders.  

    Look how we get thrown out by change to the schedule and our weekly rituals during the season for our march to the grail.

    Switching round 19 and 20 games still has a few border closure and exemption issues. 

    Just let us play GCS next week in Qld!!  If Brisb can come and go to Melb to play the Hawks next week then we can come and go to Qld to play GCS. 

    Have a horrible feeling the AFL is hell bent on us playing in Darwin.

    I don't get why we have to move games around? Just play them where they can be played, we will end up being screwed having to travel to Darwin then Perth in consecutive weeks ?

    I think we might be in for a beating, worse luck.

    I don’t understand this thinking. So if we played them in two weeks we could beat them but playing them next week means we lose? We aren’t carrying significant injuries. Nothing will be different next week to the week after, except for perhaps a small-ish crowd.

    Well, if they do play this week, and limit the crowd to 25,000 then 80% need to be Dees fans, as it is our home game!

    You'd hope that next season the mathematical genius who develops the AFL Fixture might let each team play each other once before any repeat games are scheduled.  That way, if the season needs to be shortened it can be done fairly.  I've never understood why we play some sides twice before we complete a match against all sides.

    They will tackle and hunt us like no tomorrow. 

    Our ball movement will be a thing of beauty.

    Our ability to get the ball will hurt anyone in the way.

    Fight, get it and control it.

    They will chase us all day.

    Did we have a VFL match this weekend?

    no... cancelled unfortunately

    Ironically Sydney and GWS seconds played yesterday and 3 from each team had to go around again today due to the covid exposures at the rugby.

    I believe there was a practice game with a few Victorian clubs and we were involved as well. Not sure who played.

    I just hope the boys come to Perf to play and smash the Eagles.

    My only game I can attend all year.

    I hope, however unlikely, that the AFL put some thought into our finishing with three away games in a row, with two of those on opposite sides of the country. I’m happy to play the teams, a rethink of the venues is warranted.

    I will eat my hat if we are allowed crowds at games in Victoria in the next 2-3 weeks. Given the spread at the MCG the argument to allow crowds becomes ever harder to make while we still have cases and while NSW is still a clusterfudge.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
