    4 wins Demons 

    that is the mindset

    Whoever it is, wherever it is played 

    It’s 4 wins, get the job done

    Work with each other. Challenge each other 

    Yep 1 week at a time, but basically that is it.

    I really think port are not as good as their ladder possie indicates.

    Even though we did a great job v them at their gome, a finals prospect is different.

    So I really hope we can avoid that.

    Also think the dogs are a good side but in all honesty rely on a few players more than most teams. Lets be honest they get a lot of free kicks.

    The real contenders are playing tonight and i believe one of them will hold up a cup.

    So an emphatic win would be great.

    It gives us a home final and would put fear into other teams.

    Great to have Tmac and May back in.

    Also our fwd line has started to click.

    This really is a mini gf tonight.

    Dees by 33.

    We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
    that’s the options?

    It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better. 

    No doubt this is the best Melbourne team in over 50 years and they will get better. Only older players are Gawn, May, TMac & BBB who hopefully all have 2-3 decent years left, then you go Trac, Oliver, Salem, Langdon & Lever will be at their peak over next 5 years, look at youngsters in Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Bowey, Petty, it certainly is exciting times. 
    Now is the time to be a Demon supporter, only major issue is I’ve suffered through over 50 years of losses to get here!

    Go Demons.

    A win for me today would be no injuries.

    They have 2 of their mainstays missing in Tuohy and Stewart, no crowd support. I also reckon their narrow ground could help our defensive structures. Think we've got this.

    A few pundits claim this is the best fwd line going up against the best backline(ours).

    I think our forward line is now pretty potent as well so i think we will win.

    or dogs at a neutral venue if the lions lose to the eagles or win but don't make up the percentage to the dogs

    I feel physically sick. Between this game and Covid my anxiety is off the charts.
    Need to finish the domestic chores so I can relax with a calming glass of Shiraz.

    Somewhat nervous but not too bad yet. Nothing like a good bottle of Red to help calm the nerves.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
