I had a dream that we kicked 87 goals and 21 points which equates to 543. The odd thing was that in my dream I saw the scoreboard and that’s exactly what it said, 87 goals 21 points: 543. Apparently I’m a maths wizard but only in my sleep. Anyway, I think we’ll actually win this one easily. Bulldogs hero Ugly-Hogan to be held to just the one possession. Brown will kick 52 of the 87 goals.

I definitely don’t want us to lose. But I also don’t think that if we lose a close hard fought game it’s the end of the world. 
 

It could very much impact our chances of finishing top 4, which in the current climate could make life very difficult. Need to absolutely maximise the games we play in Melbourne, could get quite challenging afterwards travel wise.

Plus, we desperately need to turn around and solidify our form IMO. It's been shaky at best over the last 5 weeks and I'd much rather us head towards finals with a full head of steam (and a settled forward line) than continuing our up and down performances.

Can't just expect things will get better later on, have to make it happen, starting tonight.

 

Got the feeling bb is going to remind us all of what he can really do.

If we win tonight I’m booking my flights for the GF. 
Tonight we’ve got our best chance to seal away the minor premiership and at the same time put our firm credentials on the league premiership and to really hush the naysayers who still think we’re brittle and will eventually cave. 
Gotta put some work into Bont and Naughty if we’re to have a comfortable win but I’m still going into this one pretty confident.

Sure but who will kick the first goal. Thinking of putting a bet on. Is it Brown. 

I didn’t see that in my dream. But if I were a betting man, which I am, I’d put it on Tom Sparrow.

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.

Footscray is a VFL side. I'd rather we match the intensity of a top-tier AFL side.?(tongue-in-cheek emoji hidden by a mask)

Nevertheless, I agree about the intention of the first point. And the rain radar shows a lot of rain heading our way. Currently in the far west of the State. Not sure if it will be here in time to affect the game, though. If it does get here, yep, very wet.)

Surely some fine french wine for the occasion as well

I was going to mention that (and the obligatory apéros) but thought it might sound a bit snobby. ? GO DEMONS!

I hope BB can have a big game

In terms of the game I have little confidence - our mids have been poor and I think we're going to get exposed there tonight 

Just want us to play 4 quarters to be honest 

I dont like to get political but hell i dont care im getting older.

Am sitting in the gong hospital after my vacination and appreciating all the hard working health workers.

And then i think about those protesters....geez.

Good thing for footy.

Bring it home dees....dogs have had their moment... thus years ours.

Tx for the forecast. Not sure but it may favor us.

In my view we are yet to be so considered  but win tonight I may begin to believe

We're top of the ladder. We've been top of the ladder for 10 rounds, in the top 2 for 15 rounds, and in the top 4 for the entire season.

We're 9-0 against the top 11.

Two weeks ago we comprehensively outplayed the side sitting 4th on their home deck with a vocal opposition crowd.

But in your view we've never been a legitimate contender?

Should be a good close game. I reckon the Dogs will get up. Our form has been average in the past 2months despite beating some good teams 

2 wins from our last 6 games. We need to turn out form around quick

It's 3 from 6, and a 3-1-2 record overall.

It will be 2 from our last 6 if we lose tonight, though.


Im glad the % monkey is off our backs.

The BOM may have got its original forecast a bit wrong. There's rain a'coming for sure but it's light to medium according to the current radar images. And no mega front by any stretch. Fingers crossed for reasonable conditions tonight.

Another response needed by MFC.

The two frontrunners, have we learned anything from the two games we have already played against them. Could be a good strategic game. Will Bevo or Goods throw all their stuff into the mix?

Hoping we play an attacking game and not a dour affair. Let our defence stand up without all the mids flooding back and exhausting themselves. 

Want accuracy in-front of goals. It has been our achilles heal. Hoping the forward structure is developing quickly. 

Tackles need to stick and can't let them have easy or uncontested disposals. 

We won't jump them again in the first (though would like a repeat). So we need to stick close and not let them blow us away early and play for the 4 quarters. 

It will be a spirited game.

Come out angry Dees.

Reset the season after some loses. Good chance to win the ones that matter.

Go Dees.

Curious, if we lose tonight, do most posters on here,  interpret it that we are not 'legitimate contenders'?

Of course they will! You know how it goes… Win, and it’s all, I’m glad I’ve got my GFG, this is our year etc. Lose, and it’s all, ima run a hot bath, slide on in, and open a vein. ?

Wrong picket, if they work out a system on how to deliver the ball into the forward line that will go down as the great efforts of the season.

Really need to win tonight.

Dont want us playing port in our first final on their turf.

Then the hawks draw and cwood....crows fiasco losses come back and could cost us a flag before we get a look in.

Gee credit given for our wins against top teams but those losses really stand out at this end of the season and they were as monumental as our wins. We dont make it easy for ourselves.

Im sorry but its true.

It's an interesting psychological study to see some supporters almost hoping we lose purely to buck the trend of us beating good teams and losing to poor ones...

 

Which logically doesn’t make sense since it’s the top sides we’ll meet in September and not the cellar dwellers. 

Let's not kid ourselves. We have played 1 good game in the last 5

The way we play will be very important tonight. We need to be switched on the word go.

Not Goodwins strong suit though...

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • 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?
