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!

    Confident going into this.

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

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

    Jeepers! Weideman?


    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

    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.

    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. 


    Boys will go BANG tonight. Top 2 spot maintained.

    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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
