    We haven’t had a good run at the G without crowds. Boys need to find a way to get themselves up regardless of the lack of atmosphere. 
    At least it’s a beautiful dry day.

    Our first 100 point win of the year.

    Then we send shockwaves through the comp by rolling Geelong at Kardinia Park next week to hit the finals as the in form team.

     

    We then go on to win the flag.

     

    [censored] it, I'm in.

    Well I have to work so will be checking the scores. 

    We won't lose this will we? Like we wouldn't stuff up our  top of the ladder opportunity surely

    To me we are going in a tall forward short but I assume the brains trust think that Gawn/Jackson will fill that hole.

    Perfect day for football and everything to play for.

    What could possibly go wrong this time.

    It feels like the season has turned the final bend and we’re now looking down the final straight.

    Our players will know quality performances will ensure a place in our finals team and nothing is guaranteed. Coaches have us peaking with a couple of final touches to add next week in TMac and Viney.

    Expect us to be on today.

    We’re in a position to make history. 

    Go Demons.

    Not a lot of incentive for Adelaide to win and go from draft pick 2 to pick 4 or 5 and push out later round picks.

    Walker did most of the damage last time and he is out.  Lever and co won't fall for the same trap again - he will make sure we 'block the corridor'!  Keep their small fwds under control and we will win.

    And hopefully, we have learnt how to defend a lead in the last minutes of a game.  Hawthorn gave a masterclass in that yesterday.

    One thing’s for sure, no matter how we win today, the media pundits (they aren’t analysts) will spin it in some way as to underrate our Premiership chances………..and I love it.

    If this club truly has changed its culture it will beat Adelaide by 10 goals+. It’s time to get our revenge on these [censored] for beating us in round 10.

    Alarm went off at 05:00, went and got Covid test (have to get 2 a week for work) back in my bed at 05:26 and slept until 9. Bacon and eggs done and dusted, got a few jobs to do around the house before resuming my position on the couch at 2pm.

    That's it. Loss coming up. Ruined my morning.

    A real danger game. A position like 17th on the ladder proposes a huge problem for the MFC. If thy were 4th or 5th I would say we would win no worries.

    Has there been a game this year when this hasn't been posted by somebody?

    Relax Demonlanders, we'll win easily.

    Would love a win of (vs) GCS proportions, but will be more than happy with a routine 4 or 5 goal win, a nice ‘tune up’ and no injuries.

    Why do I have an uneasy feeling?

    One team has a big prize if they win, the other team has key outs and their season is done and dusted = Rnd 23 2017. 

    Bring the standard pressure we’ve had in the last two weeks and we win. It’s been a curious week with top teams either losing or being challenged at certain point so it’s a good lesson in staying focused and in the game. 

    I’m personally a little disappointed they didn’t take this opportunity to give Weid a crack but Brown’s getting into some good form so hopefully it continues today!

    • 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?
