Excited to have BBB and Weid in the same forward line - could be the dawn of a very destructive duo if aggressive Weid comes to play.

Interested to see what Dunstan can do and looking forward to seeing sparrow in the middle for a whole game.

    Really looking forward to this game.

    Im tipping a 40 point win going away in the last as that seems to be our style.

    Great to be on prime-time again.

    Go Us!!

    I reckon this will be a close one - for about 15 minutes.

    It's pretty good to be our shoes at the moment. Two of the best defenders going around are out of  our side yet we can bring in quality like Petty and Smith and still have Tommo waiting for a shot. I can't see geriatric Jack doing much damage and Lynch is a frontrunner.

    Without their main man Dusty they lack both fire power and muscle.

    Really keen to watch Dunstan in the middle and also Sparrow with extra responsibility.

    Hope Weid and BBB don't run into each other but I reckon Kozzie will thrive on the big stage and  clean up.

    In a moment of rare generosity I've given The Manor's domestic staff the weekend off! I even shouted them a camping site (non powered) in the hills.

    I imagine they've well and truly pitched their tents by now!

    The Tigs will be fired up for this one, but I just don’t see the firepower in their arsenal.  I expect them to match us early, but when we pull the trigger for our 3rd quarter onslaught, the battle will be over in the blink of an eye. Dees by around 6 goals.

    Missed this game last year, which was a ripper, and cannot wait to head in for ceremony & spectacle.

    Hoping to see a huge crowd but the town seems strangely vacated again, like last weekend. 

    Figure Dunstan shouldn't be too out of his depth given Tiggers faultering midfield.

    Get along if you're able 'landers & go us.

    Really like reading Gameday thread when we are premiers and the side others aspire to be,

    the positive vibes are good to feel.

    we will lose unexpectedly but not tonight. The game will be hard therefor we expect to have to play to win.

    we should power away after the main break, Go Dees.  B2B in 22

    We go in favourite, and rightly so, but the Tiges are very well coached and their smaller players are in great form. It is their ageing stars that are letting them down, and I think they might struggle to score. I am hoping to see Langdon, Jordon, Hunt and Brayshaw tear them apart with gut running and relentless transition footy. And like many others, I have been waiting for an extended stint of seeing Weid and BB play together. 

    For me, into the train with 3 family members at 3.30pm and down to the game I go. Could be a late-ish night home - approx 12.30am - but worth it in anticipation of a great win.

    Since this one is an away game, will the cheer squad be at the ponsford stand end or the regular spot in the Warne stand?

    Such generosity is unheard of in Romsey, Uncle, I'm sure other townfolk and peasantry must look up in Awe and Envy of the Benevolence of the Master of the Manor.

    Shout-out to Hunty today playing his 100th game. He's been one of my favourites outside the plethora of stars we have in our side. He always takes the game on and plays with courage and dare. Let's hope we can get the win for you today mate. Congrats!

    I think it will be a pretty close game today and the Tigers will be up for the fight but we will prevail by 3-5 goals

    Ambition - day was planned, pub lunch with a couple of other Dees, arvo ferry from Portarlington staying in town overnight, dining room dinner on 2nd level AFL Members area, celebrate the night after watching the Dees, back on ferry in morning with probable hangover

    Reality - came down with Covid 2 days ago, will spend the day coughing and sneezing while watching the game instead !!

    Go Dees

    Our system is water tight. I expect Smith and Dunstan to slot in seamlessly

    The only Tiges player that concerns me is Shai Bolton. He's a gun. Overall though we have the better players

    Looking forward to a big crowd and a few celebratory beers on swan St post game

    Forward marking will be the key along with accuracy.

    If we limit their marking in the forward 50 and take a few ourselves... game over.

    Expecting a heavy defensive press from the Tigers

    A Hawthorn supporting workmate said “you’ll be going down to Launceston this weekend Marty”

    ”No and Why” I said.

    ”To watch the greatest team of our generation play of course”

    ”I’ve already seen them live once this year” I replied 

    “When did you see them?”

    ”1st game of the season at the G” I waited for the raucous laughter and retorts, but only got

    ”I see what your doing” then he changed the subject 

    What a time to be a Dees supporter. A lazy 30 point victory today and the tigers kept below 70 points from the greatest defence of any generation!

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
