Posted July 16, 20223 yr

Bit of a different pre game for me this week as I am away from Homebase.

Spending the weekend in the Champagne area in a luxury hotel in the hills above Epernay to celebrate my birthday. Champagne tasting and buying, Michelin starred eating, spa treatments etc. I will be watching live with a hangover.

Dees in The Alice by 6 goals.

First time I have started a GAMEDAY thread. Hope I have not stood on any toes.

No Clarrie so it’s time for the Captain Jacks to make their stand

July 16, 20223 yr

He always makes a stand, just sometimes it’s the Alamo and sometimes Rorke’s Drift. Will never die wondering will our Jack!

Win or lose this one against Port, I'd suggest that no matter what the opposition's form and talent may produce, Viney will give it his all. The challenge for him is a big one, playing his role with less selfishness that previously, replacing the drive of Clarrie, blending with Trac and Kozzie whilst exploiting what hopefully will be a re-energised Gawn and Jackson combination - in all roles that he must play and under such pressure, Viney usually does produce those special games ticking off all the boxes for which he is notoriously famous and admired. Step up, Jack, and annihilate those Port misfits.

Good morning my fellow supporters of the best footy club in the known universe.

A big win today by 80 points may get us back on top we where belong.

Will be tough with some of the outs but I get the feeling a few Fwds will kick a few big bags.

Come on Dees.

Gf not too far away now.

I'm not greedy but we deserve back to back flags especially one at our home fans can actually go and see.

Enjoy folks.

At least Viney has been great of late.

Jack Viney is having a great year. I've no doubts about him at all today

It's the foot soldiers who need to lift. Spargs, Sprarrow, Bedford must give us more. Nibbler hasn't been great either. We need May to get back to his towering best.

Hope Tommo can slot in seamlessly. He was fantastic playing Petty's role before the knee injury last year

I'm hoping against hope that Melks can find the ball and deliver some gold platter service to our forwards. If he improves our connection today he will have justified his selection.

I'm not confident. Port are resurgent. Every remaining game a final for them if they want to make the 8.

Just hoping for the win tbh. Any sort of a scrappy, ugly win will do

Go Dees

I hope Weid takes some angry tablets and nicely pushes around a few opponents.

Centre of attention we are today. A few teams around the bottom and outside the 8 cheering for us, a few teams up the top hoping Port do the dirty. Such is the logjam, but the most important part is, let’s do this for ourselves and remind everyone why we are the reigning premiers. 🔴🔵

We will be too big and strong.

Tracca will step up and perhaps Gus who like Viney is having a stellar season can spend time in the guts.

Relax we have this ....we will storm home this season with our spinniker up like last year.

You mean ‘opposition supporters’ as he watches from the stands?

July 16, 20223 yr

I'm apprehensive. Port are in good form and have to win to stay in touch of the eight.

Life without Clarrie will be a challenge too.

July 16, 20223 yr

With no recognised ruck for Port, I’m expecting Luke Jackson to step up massively today and put in an imposing career best performance.

I also expect us to come out fresh and firing off our equal longest break for the year.

July 16, 20223 yr

Interesting to listen to Goody’s presser this week. A lot of repetition re the challenge is in front of us and 6 weeks to go. I have a feeling this is when we start our run to the finals. We might be a bit rusty, but I can see us squeezing the life out of Port today, being better through half forward and creating space for forwards by faster ball movement.

Port are no slouch, so we will have to play well. We were within a kick mid way through the last quarter against the cats, then got run over, Can’t see them applying that level of pressure, but we will! Dees to kick 80+, port to kick under 60. That’s a 4-6 goal win.

July 16, 20223 yr

I thought last weeks dude was pretty good leading into September. This one as well apart from Carrie out. Thought Bedford and Melky were a bit “lucky”. But it’s still a very strong side. We can overcome the opposition Go Dees.
wish I could watch it never mind I will hear it and there is the replay.

I liked goody's presser too. I think we are set for these next six weeks.

I'm intensely jealous!! Well, not the hangover part...

Happy Birthday 🥂, CHF!

If you plan on having a hangover I hope it isn't top shelf champagne!

Reckon you will get your birthday wish of a Dees win!

THE TIME IS NOW!!

Goody is fired up and has set us for this one and the next 10 weeks

I might have a few Carlton draughts in my trackies so I guess we both have a pretty solid day planned

July 16, 20223 yr

Am hoping after a nine day break can perform similarly to after our last nine day break against the Lions!

Will happily accept any winning margin!

Go Demons!

I’m nervous but hopeful. Mild MFCSS.

We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

REPORT: Hawthorn
REPORT: Hawthorn

The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
