 The waiting game is over. There’s one more win to go before we reach the summit.

Bring it on!

It's 4 by my count.

    Some of our supporters want Demons to win minor premiership. I believe if we really want it, we can and will win it.

    But personally, I'd prefer we play Port in Adelaide next week because they had a tough game last night. On the other hand, Brisbane should have a comfortable win over Eagles today, they might give us more hard time next week.

    Jackson's two years contract extension will be finished in the end of 2022. Wish our club could offer him another five years extension this year. I believe Jackson got something special, I could see two premiership cups coming our way within 5 years -- with him in our team. Go Jackson, go Dees!

    A win tonight would be a great confidence boost heading into the finals ,a top three spot is good but top of the tree  finish is the best.Who would have thought at the start of the season we would be in this posistion.Go DEES

    I’ve kept quiet on here since I joined - the nuances of the modern game are so far removed from what I grew up with in early 60’s Melbourne that I feel under-qualified  to comment in depth - but I truly believe our time has come. I fell in love with the Demons back then, I was there in ‘64 and I’ll be shouting at my tv with the rest of you here in England.  Finals start tomorrow and it’s our time folks.

    Commentator: “The Dees kick their 2nd and are … 24 points up still?!”

    Special Comments: ”Yeah, it’s been that way from the start, Joe. Weird game this one, Joe. Weird game.

    Well Dangermouse is playing! 


    I think both teams will be going hard for the win.

    Our defence has a better chance of holding Hawkins, Cameron and Rohan than their defence has of holding BB, Fritsch and TMac

    Smith on Cameron a crucial match-up. If Joel can halve it we’ll win

    Dees by 25 points

    Smith played well on him last time they played. Smith was kissed on the [censored] by the umpires though. A lot of non calls went his way.

    It will be interesting to see if he goes to him again. If he does.. who does Petty play on? 

    Should be a cracking game hopefully 

    so we either finish first or third Geelong if they win will be first Who would have thought?

    A lot of pressure on our boys

    Should be a cracker

    Mate. ...this is the perfect post.

    Something special is happening.

    I do so hope you are correct.

    If we win tonight we will be on the way for sure.

    Its unusual to have top four teams play each other in the last round.

    It could have been close to the finals first week a repeat of the previous round.

    I am hoping kozzie and nibbler kick three each with bb kicking six.

    4 wins = flag. Think like Jordan.

    Sitting in the sun drinking coffee looking down on Bourke St this morning makes me wonder why people think Melbourne supporters spend their winters at Mt Buller. It's like spring! It's not like we can go to the footy. Anyway, I will be watching tonight with all of you. Dees by 7 (goals)

    All year the team has set mini goals and delivered. 

     

    This will be their new goal for sure


    *Hypothetical*

    When we beat Geelong tonight I expect the MFC to push hard for Adelaide Oval to be our neutral venue!  With the current state of play in Victoria the chance of any crowds in September are basically gone 😞

    The venue holds no fear for us and if the SA Govt allow it then I can see a finals hub in SA.  Port flipped the script last night IMHO 🤷

    I don't think our boys will fear any club or concern themselves about the permutations of other games, ground selection or anything else out of their control. One game at time, one week at a time, we can take all comers and that's what it means to win a flag..you need to beat the best to be the best!!

    My MFCSS is not playing up this morning. The more I think about it it does not matter who we play next week. What a lot of people don't realise is the home town pressure that port will be under next week.

    To me, this is an absolute dead rubber. We have the double chance regardless and we are going to be playing interstate regardless. We’ve proven we can beat anyone in the top eight, there is nothing more to prove, we’re ready. The only thing in front of us is confidence and form going into the finals. I think we’ll get it done and I think BB and TMac Will start to click.

     Come on Dees, let’s get this done and move on to the big stage.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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.
