Nothing else to do so let's watch footy!

I was hoping we might be a chance to be top by the end of this round but Giants who should be desperate for a spot in the finals have made 6 changes including 2 key players as 'managed'.  are they tanking? what a joke.  the Cats will smash them

Bombers might be a chance against the dags if they have an off day

Punting wise, I reckon North as worth a go, at least at the line.  Freo always tough to beat at home and will give the bears a run for their money

Artistic group swimming is on at the Olympics tonight.

Beats the hell out of watching Geelong beat GWS! 

Hoping Adelaide can cause an upset in the showdown, but now their [censored] ex- captain is suspended due to being a racist loser, it's going to be tough.

Also hoping Essendon can cause an upset over the Dogs.

I give St Kilda absolutely no chance to beat Sydney. 

The rest of the games are boring and irrelevant. Thank god for the Olympics and several hundred streaming services during lockdown. 

Besides our game I think Richmond VS North and Freo Vs Brisbane are the most interesting. 

Freo can keep their top 8 spot whilst Brisbane have been struggling. Who will take their opportunity?

North have been competitive and building well, Richmond are getting some names back.
Prestia was back to his usual last week and they really need McIntosh and Vlaustin back into that line up. 

Geelong should take care of GWS easily (PS: How is Quintin Narkle not a regular in that team? would love to pick him up)

Port should take care of Adelaide easily without their racist captain. Wont win another game for the year. 

Carlton should beat the suns easily if they play with pressure, but its Carlton so :shrug:

Too many outs for St Kilda, No Marshall no Billings, No Howard. Buddy could get off the chain here

Hawthorn V Collingwood should be a competitive match, whoever wins the contested ball will win, I think Hawthorn just have the better midfield.

Bulldogs with Trelor back in will take care of the Heppell-less dons. Dons just aren't good enough for long enough and their forward line is the worst in the comp.
 
And then theres us, going up against West Coast which has been absoletly smashed in the media all week and Had DV retire. They should be fired up to compete against us, and we want our last top 8 scalp. 



 

 

Unfortunately not much chance of any other top 4 team losing.

It's up to us.

For most teams the Eagles in present form are an easy scalp... still seeing 1 goal 6 from the last quarter when we were almost 100 points up

We’ll knock off the [censored] down at KP.

The Blues will be in the 8 if they beat the Suns tomorrow 😳

for about an hour but still 😂

Sydney are due a loss after 5 straight wins.

They wouldn't admit it but they could probably do with a late season slip up. Otherwise they'll need to go 12-0  if they want the flag. That hasn't happened in years.

That will be worth a giggle seeing Carlton in the 8, for 5 minutes.

Most things that Geelong do personnel wise confuse me, this is no exception.

But what about the notion that success breeds success that people bang on about on here...

GWS will provide more evidence tonight to justify their moniker, Great Waste of Space

Can't see any surprises. Sydney Port Doggies Cats will all win comfortably. Don't care about the other games

Fair comment.

It's just that if Sydney are winning the flag this year they're probably going to have to go 12-0  (from round 16 onwards) which is extremely rare in not just the AFL but in all sports. 

Going full pelt for the entirety of July and August isn't a recipe for success.

I'm hoping some patchy form by the Dees in June/July might re-ignite some hunger, which was on show for most of last week.

  • Demonland changed the title to NON MFC: Rd 21 2021

Extraordinary situation at the GWS Giants with injuries. Josh Kelly has now withdrawn with a quad injury which means they’ve made eight changes from last week's loss to Port Adelaide - Phil Davis (concussion), Jacob Hopper (concussion), Shane Mumford (back), Jesse Hogan (soreness), Tom Green (hamstring) Daniel Lloyd (ankle) and Sam Reid (ankle) already ruled out during the week.

Would have been handy a month ago when we played them.

Already got it done in round 4. I hope we can do it again, and I think we can! 

Different game at fortress kardinia unless its crowd free i spose. Should be a cracker.

Absolutely! Plus finals and grand finals aren't played at Kardinia so if we happen to come up short that game it isn't the end of the world :) 
 

Nup olympics for me tonight. But gws need a miracle tonight and I hope they get one. 

I just want the dogs to win and just snuff out the bummers chances.

Giants coming off a 5 day break. Cats off 6.5

fair as always. 


If i could take one player from another team to play for the Dees it would be Toby Greene. Perfect combination of silk and mongrel

Giants have pulled the pin on 2021. Can’t blame them. Feel the same way.

tips for the round ahead

  • puddy tatts
  • bluebaggers
  • tiggas?
  • pear
  • swans
  • hawks?
  • footscray
  • bears?

as per usual, almost half i'm pretty much in two minds regarding possible outcomes - it seems to be that it has been a very even year

Exceptionally gifted but a tad too much mongrel for mine.

Ps Bt is an [censored].

Edited by leave it to deever

 

Take the umpiring not being influenced by the mob and a team has a sporting chance at kardinia. Toby g helps too.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
