Very slim pickings this week.

From bf:

  • ...and please be gentle Demons.
  • Maybe I'll break out the rum instead of gin
  • 3 new umps .... please
  • Apart from cloning Tom Green a few times, there's probably not much we can do that would make a difference.
  • I don't care what the game plan is I just want to see us score 100+ points. I wouldn't care if we list by 10 goals doing so. It is better than watching the rubbish they are dishing up at the moment.
  • With Ash we recruited a line breaking half back and we have turned him into a tagging mode who doesn’t know what to with it when he gets [it}. Watching him get on the wing in a canter in space and get run down and tackled is infuriating.
  • Looks like VFL HQ is getting ready to stitch-up Preuss again as a scapegoat to cover up, and deflect attention away from, the umpiring crime scene.
  • ...its onwards to the MCG against the Demons. Oh dear god please stand up and make a game of it.

Don't blame them for wanting 3 new umps!

Each week ops supporters dread playing the Demons.  Never much optimism from them.  Only occasionally is there some hope, albeit futile.

It feels good to be feared by them.

    I’m on no hurry to underestimate GWS this weekend.  They’re out of form but they have some genuine weapons in their team.  They troubled us twice last year.

     

    (With that said… they’re a franchise, not a club and they have no real supporters)

    G Dub Ya S are top 4 quality at their best, but with Leon with the keys only play accordingly every once in a while.

    Ironically enough we sorely missed Ben Brown in the late season defeat against them.

    I thought that last week was going to be a close game and came out looking like a goose, so i wont be making any bold predictions this week.

    Dees by only 80 points.

    1000 point thrashing coming up unless Darth Vader manipulates that umpires pay 10 free kicks Greater Western Shizen to our 1 just to make a game of it

    I was at the game at the MCG last year when GWS beat us. Melbourne were listless, flat and seemed disinterested. About a week later I went to an MND fundraiser night where David Schwarz spoke, and he categorically stated that Melbourne would win the premiership. When I said that I had been at the game on the weekend against GWS and they looked far from premiership contenders, he said that Burgess had really upped their training loads and that was why they were so flat. He said that barring injuries they would win and he was right!! I would like them to smash the orange maggots.

    After the rush of playing finals and winning the flag I heard Gawn say that now he understands why Dustin Martin always looked bored in rd4 😜

    GWS is one of two teams in the comp who currently have a winning record against us.

    We al thought we'd beat them last year, and we didn't.

    Surely we haven't forgotten that game.

    I think you mean GWS is one of 2 teams who currently have a losing record against us, the other being GC. Unless you mean since the day before the queens birthday last year. Then you’d be correct.

    I thought he got 5 weeks? That would mean he is back.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — 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 Melbourne’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?
