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. 

 

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

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

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

 


Weid to bag another 4 goals, keeping up the trend of his feast or famine type performances

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

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.

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.

 

 

My MFCSS is in full swing. The giants are a pain in the khyber so we will have to play well to win.

GWS are a dangerous side but they generally have a bad quarter (see vs Tigers and Dockers), so we need to capitalise on that then our defence will do the rest 


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!

...this qualifies as a danger game.

Is someone going to say this every time we play a lowly or average team?

Probably. And they won't be wrong either.

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

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
