As WJ alludes to above, the other Syney mob has given us some nasty moments recently.

Not tonight though, the Demon juggernaut will roll over GWS by a comfortable 30 points easing up. We are just too settled, too organised and too good.

Good to see how Petty goes tonight. He will likely find himself on HH who I recall kicking a few on us on this past. Speaking of recall, and taking the Corolla virus into account, I can't remember whether I've actually seen Petty play live as it were. 

Hope Jesse kicks a couple in a losing side.

Circumstances force me to leave The Manor quite early today so I shall have the opportunity to attempt one of life's great adventures - finding The Demon Shop. 

I have attempted the Demon Shop quest in the past and failed, so any hints or information will gain my appreciation.

Morning 'Landers. It's looking like a glorious autumn day out there that will culminate with the reigning premiers running out at the home of football. Before then I've got lunch planned at Alemantari on Smith Street followed by a wander round the Collingwood Yards arts precinct where they have a rooftop bar. Here's hoping we don't give the oppo a sniff at any point and run out comfortable winners.

  • Demonland changed the title to GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs GWS

I think our stingy team defence will get us across the line regardless of what they throw at us.  If we can improve our delivery inside 50, and straighten up our goal kicking a tad, we could punish them severely on the turnover.  I’ll split the difference, and go for a comfortable, 30 point, win.

The great thing about our team at the moment is you know exactly what you’re going to get. No other team in the league has an answer.

gws super inconsistent but even if they have an “on” night the dees will weather the storm to post a regulation win

dees by 25 points

Trac rumoured to be doing a fitness test this morning, so potential definitely there for a late change.

 

Hmmm, could well be the reason for the subtle placement of Tom Sparrow on the ball in the selected side. Luke Dunstan to come into the side to replace Trac if the fitness test goes wrong.

Or jordon to the middle. Gus back to the wing and Smith at hb.

I wasn't super impressed with Dunstan in the willy game, and he is more a viney type.

But if tracc does come out it is a good chance to give him a shot I suppose.

If Trac is not playing it will be the first game since 2018 he’s missed.

Possibly, but I never read too much into Goody's team sheet placements. It's more a list of players rather than exact positions they'll play.

The Giants have a few elite players who could give us a hard time if they’re on tonight. Beware the sleeping giants.

I noticed last time we played how big their midfielders are. Tom Green is playing some amazing football this year and is 192cm as an inside mid.

Hopper out is good for us as he really cracks in.

Ward, Cogs, Toronto De Boer are all hard at the contest. Whitfield, Ash, Kelly and Kennedy with complementary outside run. The midfield battle will be great to watch.

We should have them covered forward and back.

Yep we owe the giants. Tonight we can't let them beat us on our turf. 

Love to see weid clunk them again but kick a bit straighter tonight. 

But it's a beautiful day and lets hope for another dees victory. 

I hope we don't hear any boos for Jesse tonight.

Regardless of how many if any TMac and Weid kick tonight BBB is an automatic inclusion next week.

Worried about the forward line without BBB. We lost against them last year because we dominated the last quarter but couldn't convert.

I really think this is a HUGE game for both TMac and Weeds and depending on how that transpires into GOALS unless injury intercedes, I reckon one of them will be suiting up at CASEY next week!

I mean ..... just because I didn't know the location of The Demon Shop.

Brunton Avenue, near gate 7 on the entry to the car park.  Small door, few windows.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
