The day of reckoning has come for last year’s premier on the very same ground where they triumphed in 2021.

3.12am and I can't sleep - and the Gameday thread is already up! Gotta love Demonland!

Go Dees - get the job done and the remaining games will look a whole lot less formidable!

July 28, 20223 yr

Confident going into this.

The key focus over the week would have been defence and pressure!

Dees by 24 points.

If ever there was a season defining game it would be this.

An AFL game played on an oval which will have an extremely dangerous surface! MADNESS!

Win or lose, It might be season defining for both teams, if it's an epic tussle that proves Freo (and us) have very strong premiership credentials.

It would be awesome to smash them and begin a campaign of demolition again, but the neutral in me kind of wants an epic match of the year contest where both clubs play a brand of ruthless defensive pressure to the death, that makes Geelong and their media sycophants [censored] themselves about another prelim disappointment. Carn the Doggies at GMHBA too!

I’m bizarrely confident about tonight’s game although I could sleep much.

Only 14 hours til first (recalled) bounce!

😬🤪

I want to see pressure, intensity and desperation. A return to our 2021 brand

And some inside F50 tackles please

The march to the flag starts tonight

Dees by 25 points

I'm buoyed by the news of Brayshaw's re-signing and hope the players have had a similar boost.

With no evidence at all to back me up, I just feel that a corner has been turned and we'll win tonight in the first step towards a strong finals run.

Let's get it on!

I appreciate the invitation layzie, but I'm really not into that sort of thing.

That first line says it all. Bring that, and we win this and it sets us up for the next 3. If we don't, then it says a lot about our chances from here.

I was confident until other people said they were confident. Is this a symptom of MFCSS?

Does that help?

We've got this!😎

Boys will go BANG tonight. Top 2 spot maintained.

Come on 56, big game for the club...back them all in.

Odds watch.

Opened 1.90 equal favs, which seemed fair enough given the form lines of both sides, the relative ladder positions and the fact the game is on freo's home deck. And surely no-one would be keen to trust us with their money given we are apparently not hungry or ruthless enough

Into 1.86 soon after.

Into 1.80 by Tuesday (even after it was announced bb wasn't playing).

Into 1.77 on Wednesday.

Remarkably, on game day, now into 1.72.

The weather might be a factor, but today's forecast is that whilst plenty of rain will fall today, and so the ground will be slippery, it will clear by the arvo.

I wonder if Lobb is going to be late out?

May drift, but unlikely to get into anything shorter than 1.80.

The pros must really think we will magically rediscover our 'hunger'.

Because being people who make a living out of punting by being hard nosed, unemotional realists put a lot of stock in such nebulous concepts.

Pretty confident today. Reckon Brayshaw will play his [censored] off.

Thought I'd randomly check weather radar. Wet deck on a dodgy ground that recently had turf changed.

What could go wrong.

Pros must believe we will suddenly remember how to pressure, run both ways, be sharper with skills, be mentally more ruthless, have greater inside 50 connection. Can’t think of any other factors :))

Play well Demons and lets get a much needed win - if we are to really challenge and go back to back this is the game we need to win

AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond
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.

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.

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
