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

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
