    The main reason we lost to them last year was we had heavy legs due to training loads and the brilliance of Toby Greene.

    No Toby Greene this time. Another regulation 4-5 goal win coming up

    We missed plenty of opportunities to win this one in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but didn't execute well.Ā 

    We'd only lose one more game for the year after that one tooĀ Ā

    Agree, no Toby Greene, no training loads, and no Mummy who definitely made Giants walk taller!

    Be interesting to see Pruess against Max, followed by Jackson!

    Expecting a solid 5 goal win - even though would love to see a big win, but hard to argue with Demon game philosophy after last years ultimate success!

    Go Demons!

    It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didnā€™t get to see much action up close. We were lethargic and made a lot of errors whereas they made every opportunity stick. Looking forward to a good win and seeing Max show Preuss whoā€™s the boss.

    As others have said a very frustrating game we had plenty of chances to win but did look tiredā€¦should get them this timeĀ

    They have a very, very good midfield, and then no other real strengths. Some individual players have real skill but our defence mindset should cover them.Ā

    You are correct. The result is left resting with the umpires; their obvious preference(s) lie time and again with GWS.

    What a day this was, thought we might have blown our top 4 chance and it also turned out to be the last time we could go to the G that year. What happened next speaks for itself and it's time to atone for it this Sat.Ā

    When going through the replays one by one during the off season I thought that last quarter was one of our best until that time.

    We didn't score but we did everything else extremely well

      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?

      Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead ā€” facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourneā€™s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
