Pumped for this game. 

Viney to set the tone early with some crunching tackles

Swans will tag Langdon and Clarry will dominate with 40

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
