    I don't post much on gameday threads. Wow you're a negative bunch!

    A lot of people don't seem to understand that after the match starts this topic is as much about expressing frustration at the poor play as applauding the good.

    Imagine if Clarry cleaned up his goal kicking, both set shots and on the run! With his talent level it’s hard to fathom why he misses and often by a long way.

    Think everyone is getting a bit carried away. The boys would be knackered, again had to isolate this week after the GC fiasco and then quarantine in Perth. They would be physically and mentally wrecked, just need the 4 points and I don’t care how. It’s another north at Blundstone game.

    Clarry is a great footballer in the heat of the battle, amazing reflexes,  however give him time to think and he stuffs up. Thinking without pressure is not his strong suit

    And he'd jhave locked the 3 (or 2 due to Seedsman) brownlow votes today...

    Joel Smith being a late in and randomly playing the best game of his career is exactly the kind of thing that would happen against us in years gone by. I’m starting to believe.

    Gawn and Jackson. Only 1 mark between them.

    Are we just exhausted? Because these sloppy skills are a big worry. 

    I would think yes, given the events of the last fortnight.

    This would be the textbook “flat week” if ever there’s one.

    In the end it’s why separates Bont from Trac and Oliver. Hate to say it but they are both average kicks. 
     

    I do like the darts coming from Bowey and Salem off HB though. I look forward  to that part of our game blossoming in the coming years.

    Cudos to Joel Smith- has done well. Pleased for him

    He’s playing to his strong suits, keeping separation and the using his athleticism to nullify contests or his leap to take some grabs.

    What does Angus Brayshaw add to our team?

    A bit like Adelaide’s let down after their biggest game of the year. Oh, hang on…..

    Percentage is still matters, what if we had a draw with jeelong and Port smashed Dogs next week?

    Plays on the quiet wing and runs all day to allow Langdon to dominate

    Kudos to the coaching team. Looks like they've turned Smith into solid defensive depth

    They're taking it easy and winning by 22 points.

    Just get the win and no injuries and I'll be happy.

    Then we still finish 2nd and get a home final. 1 or 2 is the key.

    Two way running, courage in the air, smart ball use (though at times this goes missing), and he's very important culturally to the players.

    Aside from that, nothing.

    J Smith playing his role so far. Hope he keeps it up. 

     

    Not sure why should be any more tired than any other team. Adelaide played a showdown last weekend 

    So we play last game Geelong MCG??!!!!

    ..fixture rd 23 was just on screen..

      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?

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
