Sportsbet odds   Demons $1.22 Swans $4.15. 

Very juicy odds on Swans. They are ridiculous odds .... match is way tighter than that.

    Pumped for this game. 

    Viney to set the tone early with some crunching tackles

    Swans will tag Langdon and Clarry will dominate with 40

    Demons by 18pts

    Rain predicted.  Whose game holds up better in the wet?

    Think we will bounce back.  Swans will try Freo method, then revert to their usual style, then simply not keep up.  28 points.

    Crazy odds. I'm tempted to back the Swans

    Our form hasn't been great. The Swans record at the G is very good

    It'll be a tough tight arm-wrestle in the wet

    I'm back our boys in because they've been brilliant when we've needed a response

    Dees by 7 but jeez could go either way

    Ours.

    Because in the ladt couple of seasons the swans have moved away from a contest and territory game plan, to a move it quickly by hands and running from the back half plan.

    Which is a style similar to the dogs. And similarly at risk of breaking down under pressure - or in wet slippery conditions.

    Plus they simply don't have enough strong, seasoned bulls in their midfield.

    I suspect they will bring at least one, probably two extras to stoppages and look to win tge clearance battle. We won't match them so lets hope tracc is fit and firing.

    Look for maxy to take more ruck tonight

    Don’t wanna go all Mike Larkin on you but it’s 0-2mm predicted and mostly outer east so we’ll hopefully be right

    Swans have as much chance of winning as smith has of getting less than 4 weeks for headbutting

    Betting on the Swans?? Their form is 3-3. Lost to the Suns at home and went very close to losing to North. They are not the same team as last year and Buddy is out. We will smash them on the inside. With Kennedy done, Parker has to do most of the heavy lifting at the coalface

    Would like to see us back to our brutal best tonight eg: first half against St Kilda. No more toying with these teams it’s statement time.

    Not sure on this.

    Pretty even match up for team v opponent averages in clearances and centre clearances. We've got them covered for contested possessions, but that's more a reflection of our lack of spread lately IMO.

    They have us covered comfortably for tackles, and that would be a concern if it's wet.

    Kennedy out doesn't make a massive difference as he's not highly ranked for them in those stats this year.

    Their forward efficiency is also a fair bit better than ours so not having May and Buddy will be an interesting watch I reckon.

    Kennedy is ranked 8th at the Swans for average clearances.

    9th for centre clearances.

    11th for contested possessions.

    14th for tackles.

    Swans midfield is far more than Kennedy and Parker.

    • Demonland changed the title to GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Sydney

    Kennedy and Buddy out - huge loss for the Swans.

    Swans are brilliantly coached so Lever will not be free to intercept all day, and the stoppages will probably be 50/50.

    We are close to our best 22, but Salem will be very rusty.

    Having Gawn, Oliver, Viney, Petracca, Langdon and Brayshaw across the middle gives us grunt and class that the Swans can't match.

    Close most of the day, real dog fight. Dees will have a 10 minute patch where they kick 5 straight, and we win by 20 points.

    Anyone who can’t make it to the main game tonight, come to the Casey game (curtain-raiser) beforehand!!! 

    Gates open at 3:30pm, match starts at 3:45pm.

    After the ‘downer’ against Freo, there have been a few very early signs of the re-emergence of MFCSS amongst some Demonland colleagues.  It’s a horrible ailment, and extremely contagious, but fortunately, a win against the Swans will put that to rest. Dees in a hard-fought 19 point win, to curtail an epidemic for at least another week.

    With the ‘ins’ we have this week and the improved health of players from last weeks game I simply can’t see us losing by less than 1 point.

    That’s the spirit! 🤣

    Rumour that TMac won't play .. MBrown in. 

    Queries on fitness of Salem and Langdon ....

    Lever out of form.

    Will be a tough match.

    Langdon is literally the fittest guy in the AFL. You think two weeks off will mean he has lost his ability to run 15km? I doubt it.

    I have no idea what will happen. But I like our ins if they all play.

    Just hope we do win & win well. Straight kicking as usual is the key & would love to see Ben brown kick a few

    I will be Flying above the Earth whilst the Game is on. We should win, but the Swannettes are never easy 

    I hope i see a happy Demonland site in Thailand at about 2am. 
    hoping to run into “Bitter But Optimistic” :)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
