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.

Exceptionally gifted but a tad too much mongrel for mine.

Ps Bt is an [censored].

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

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
