    I’m gonna say it now… if we lose to Geelong next week I’m calling time on the year 2021.

    Geelong hold no fears. Expecting a 5 goal + result.

    The Cats had us covered until they started resting their stars at 3/4 time last time we met. It's going to be a huge test. They've definitely improved their side with their changes this week as well. 

    Sounds like our boys had a good first week in the hub, getting some much deserved rest, but it has to be all business from here.

    Ok to all WA demons fans. We implore you to get to Optus next week, drown out the cats fans and get our boys over the line into the big one. Do it for all of us dees fans that are stuck in other states in particular here in Victoria where we cannot move.

    I agree. If that's the best Geelong can dish up we win comfortably.

    Goody cracked a bottle of red at halftime tonight.

    This is rubbish, propaganda driven by Geelong people.

    The only time they "had us covered" was the 20 minute patch in the second quarter where they dominated stoppages and kicked 6 goals.

    If anyone had anyone covered the rest of the game, it was us covering them.

    And they didn't rest anyone. Dangerfield was (allegedly) sick and spent time on the bench in the fourth but that was it.

    Why do people have to minimise our win?

    Did not want to play Geelong again but if we play at our best we will win and win big.

    With the Rat brought in by the Cats, I think Smith will stay in to release Lever.

    I have just watched a pathetic semi final so why is my MFCSS running so hot ?

    Not worried, Geelong were average tonight.

    If we cant beat them comfortably (4-5 goals) then we wont win the flag.

    Are we not forgetting they played with basically their full squad against the Giants who were missing, Toby Greene, Tom Green, Jessie Hogan, Sam Reid, Xavier O’Halloran, Brent Daniels, Nick Shipley and Braydon Preuss.

    Yes my MFCSS is in overdrive right now but having said that the Cats were lucky not to face a fully fit Giants outfit and it’s not surprising they won by 35.

    I'm trying to slap myself out of the feeling that we're going to win this easily and put ourselves in a Grand Final. Surely, surely not?

    Yep, full strength minus Stewart (and Parfitt going down early). Plus had the extra day break, and didn't exactly exert themselves last week whereas GWS played a hugely intense game vs Sydney.

    My MFCSS is also strong right now, but objectively there are plenty of reasons we can/should be confident.

    Definitely a huge worry game for me.

    Last time they didn't have Touhy, Duncan and Rata. 

    Joel Smith will stay now especially Big sav down there. Bowey for me is still the vulnerable one down back. I said Hibbo last week but if Jayden Hunt is ready then I'd bring him to give us some speed out of the back half.

    Our defence and mids have to be really switched on from get go.

    so they'll definitely lose parfitt and bring back...higgins? simpson?

    losing parfitt is massive for their mids as he's starting rotation

    can't see stewart or o'connor being a threat

    they spent a fair bit of timing just bombing it forward with those foursome of talls - hawkins, cameron, ratugolea, rohan - up front but i think that plays right into our hands, particularly if rohan pushes up the ground to use his pace and allows lever to zone off

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
