Game day already? It’s 6:45pm on Friday here.
I’ll have to eat dinner, watch TV, sleep, have breakfast and vacuum the pool in my Demons scarf.

    The best side in the comp or a team that is 50/50 over the past month. Melbourne will prove themselves to be one of these things before the day is done.

    We will know tonight whether we really are contenders for a flag this year. Surprisingly feeling bullish about this game…

    A. We’ll match the intensity of Footscray. 

    B. The game will be played in wet conditions.

    Dees by 16 points.

    I have two requests of Maxy and co.

    1.     Kick straight

    2.     Bring the heat and intensity

    If we bring our A game nothing Bevo or the doggies do will make a difference

    The boys have delivered when it matters most all season. I expect them to deliver again tonight

    Dees by 5 goals

     

     

    Message to BB. Now would be a great time to clunk and slot 3-4 goals

    Bevo playing a taller forward set up is already admittance that their best playing their way cant beat ours. The question is whether we still have any of our best in us. Gawn needs to be aggressive at the stoppages with his ruckwork. Viney, Harmes and Jordon need to play defensively well and let Oliver and Trac off the leash and get back to brilliant basics not Hollywood footy. Brayshaw back to the wingers club to assist with hard defensive run. Our half backs rebounding fast and aggressive when we have the ball and forwards who separate and take advantage of players lowering their eyes to hit them. Most importantly for the love of god take your chances. Our speed forwards need to back to Port style inside 50 pressure to contain and turn it over in our half.

    Not much to ask really. Get back to doing all these well and it wont matter what set up the bulldogs play. Our best is the best in the comp we are just the least trusted to bring it every week.

    Looking at the lineups our bottom 6 is far better and to be honest our bottom 6 is very hard to identify these days which is a great sign. I know we are full strength and they are missing 2-3 but still. 

    Just need a solid team effort. Playing at the same time and same empty stadium as last week will help us. Dees by 19

    That appears to be true, be it by the media or Demonlanders.

    Mind you, not one other top 4  team has brought 'it' as consistently as us either... 

    So I guess it depends if you don't want to look beyond Melbourne FC and include other clubs in that conversation.

    It's just a lovely little narrative, and I suspect the team would call it Fugazi, whilst still working on remedying it.

    I concur with Leppitsch. I'd rather be in Melbourne position losing to bottom 4 teams, than losing to top 8 teams.

    No, Mate, your Mate got it correct first time, Mate and allegedly, Mate, it is on 7 Mate so sit down with your mates to enjoy a few cans whilst watching the game, Mate, on 7Mate with all your mates, Mate. Seeya, Mate and don't forget: Carna Demons, Mate.

    Hate to be a wet blanket but I reckon we’ll lose tonight. Beveridge and his coaches will outsmart us this second time around.

    I wish i could agree, the main issue with losing to the Hawks was that we probably only won 1 quarter the first. That means even when our leads were being eroded our players did not stand up and turn it around.

    A bit rich that criticism of a premiership coach and a forensic accountant. Deserves a bit of respect.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
