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.

    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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
