And now he can go home and smash 4 Scotch fillets to get himself ready for the big game

Got to watch the trampolining and now the diving in the Olympics and because of no footy can get all our friends together for dinner out tonight. 
Silver linings all around!

    Reckon we would have been better served with the late game. Nearly in a plane all of today but at least a game will go ahead and can watch up here on TV. Must win this.

    I don't know if this is good or bad ?

    no doubt that it's an early game as we'll be on a flight to perth straight after

    Coll upset of Eagles brewing ?

    So hope Eagles win - last thing I want is to play them at Optus on the rebound after being humiliated on the east coast again.

    Interesting how it's only other teams that 'get up and are hungry' after a loss, never the Dees.

    Each game is an individual entity - and has no baring on the next.

    Unless you believe that the only way to win, is permanently having  no confidence the week before playing the Dees, unless you win and in which case, you're supremely confident? [censored], it's even confusing for me to make sense of this logic.

    Surely we have been the most interrupted by CoVID:

    One of only 2 teams to play a game knowing the rest of the season is postponed.

    The only team to have had a game postponed because an opposition player tested positive to CoVID.

    The only team to travel for no reason, because a lockdown was called mid flight.

    And the only reason we can’t lose our [censored] about it to headquarters is because of CoVID we’ll need to put our hand out for the 800k+ we’ve lost in gate revenue.

    We have had a few games in the last two years where after a poor game/loss we have rebounded.  Not sure why you say 'never the Dees'.

    The Eagles have made an art form of rebounding from east coast losses then win at home this year.  Each game may be a 'separate entity' but don't underestimate what wounded pride can do when a team is back on its own turf.  

    Yes, couldn't make much sense of your last para...

    I'd argue it's not an artform - they play worse over here, and more consistent at home. Is it merely some CBF's for them when they're here? Maybe... 

    It'd be great to get some stats, on teams, or interstate teams that win back home after losing interstate. Debatable if it has a thing to do with pride/emotions.

    Fox listed the game as Gold Coast subs vs MFC. What does that mean?

    Eagles are a soft downhill skiing team. Would rather they lose and have their confidence down going into next week, as opposed to winning on the road and getting some momentum trying to sure up a spot in the 8.

    We didn't play finals last year, so we're behind every team that did.

    They will wait till we are half way there, then put us a 14 day hotel quarantine.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
