Geelong have a big home ground advantage in narrow long ground and they have an amazing winning record at the ground in the last decade, hasn’t translated to a flag. They also get the umpiring in their favour at Cat Park!

Teams don’t win premierships in July, maybe lose them if you drop 4 or 5 games in July!

Tigers best year 2018 and they didn’t win the flag, they didn’t even lose to the premier - thank goodness!

Demons need to play well enough to be top 4 and come into final series in good form, minimal injuries, then fingers crossed.

Yes feels like we are not playing as well as last year, probably shorter pre season, more injuries, TMac out once he got going, but last year we also had our struggles. Still we sit equal top, so still a bit of time to find some form!

September is when it really counts!!

    Geelong is the side I least fear in finals (except Brisbane), because I truly believe that if you take away their home ground advantage, they would not have made top 4 for the past few seasons. Just as I don't think we win that round 23 game last year if there is a crowd down there. 

    They know how to play that skinny narrow dump like nobody else does. They gave away all their cards by playing us how they thought they could beat us. What else have they got left come finals? How do they stop Gawn when fit and firing? 

    I would far rather meet Geelong in finals at the MCG than Carlton or Freo. 

    Still doesn't make losing to that disgusting bunch of knobs any more palatable. But we will get ours in finals. Of that I am sure.

    • 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.
