    I spent a bit of time over west in the past few weeks. My first post Covid trip. They're a weird mob over there, to be sure.

    I was chatting last Sat morning with the lady that ran the local cafe, out the side of a caravan parked near the beach, she had her Freo jumper on ready to go to the game. I said the Pies travel ok you know. She replied that her 11 yo daughter had told her that Freo were no good in the wet, as we knocked back a coffee watching a sea of storm clouds roll in. Mum, they need to turn the sprinklers on at training, she had apparently said that very morning. My response (after immediately txting a few mates back east to get onto Collingwood) was to tell her don't worry, you've got Melbourne next week!

    The look of utter despondence on her face......priceless.

    Go Dees by 25.

    Demonland early birds or late night insomniacs? Caught the last rites of last evening’s SCG clash on AFL online. Back on home soil to get the big picture. Maintain the rage Demons let the winning run continue.

    We have Fremantle today and the Swans next week.

    What happened last time that the Demons played that combination in consecutive games?

    Since Cairns we have 32 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses and a premiership!

    I see Freo as a bunch of B graders playing an A grade system. They will be hard to beat, but we should prevail on talent so long as we bring the required intensity.

    Excited to see us put another team of pretenders to the sword. Had a quick word to the big fella this morning and he tells me it's "...in the bag!"

    I'm catching a supporters bus up from the coast. In two minds to take my 6yo, leave at 1.45 - home by 10.30. Big day and I don't know who'll be more emotional! 😀

    Let’s all wish Melksy the very best for his 200th!!! Let’s give him the love he deserves! Make some noise for him!

    PS: y’all don’t forget to check out the awesome banner today. I broke a fingernail making that thing! And sacrificed a substantial amount of hair since: sticky tape + long hair + static electricity = hair loss. 🤣

    Edit: just don’t look too closely. I may or may not have cut a lil chunk outta the K in Melksham. 😬

    Nice work WCW

    what happens to banners after they are used?

    have a feeling this one might end up at your house? Imagine having it in your driveway and driving through it everyday 😂

    I see today going this way:

    freo bring manic pressure and two way running, which we match.

    they break first

    we come home over the top for a reasonable win.

    the game wont be won by the stars, but by the system and skills.  Our pressure will eventually be too much.

    Big call mate. I have a 6yo too

    If you get your first ‘are we there yet’ at 2:05 you’re in for a long one!

    chips for the kid and beers for you should get you through

    Hopefully we can get a decent crowd, a lot of talk going around that we’re not turning up to games and our lack of support is pathetic supporters coming after a premiership

    Interesting stat! Very young talented team

    they will be a force in 2 years or so especially if they trade a couple of players in

     

    A few beers pre game at The Duke with some Demon buddies, stroll down to the G and have another beer in the Betty Cuthbert bar, then sit down to watch another Dees win.

    Jeez, I love autumn footy at the G

    It should be a genuinely good contest and I expect it to be very close all day. 
    Langdon is a massive out for us. 
    Hopefully the home ground advantage and our ability to never move away from our game style will help us win. 
    If we do win, Bowey is tied for all time wins from debut.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
