    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: 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
