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.

    Finally some luck for us. From Darwin to an away game in GC to a home game.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
