It's really hard to forget how much they really kicked out behind last time. Mason Cox played a game for the ages, Howe was brilliant, Sidebottom and Pendles brilliant. I really worry how we are going to be able to combat all this.

Sure it's hard to forget, but that doesn't mean you have to talk about it!

    Good Post

    Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

    This game is on the coaches

    Pretty confident we will find a way.

    Plenty of punters agree it would appear given we are currently 1.45 favourites - which is pretty remarkable given they have won their last 10 games and it is second v third.

    Remind me

    How many times since 2017 have they beaten us

    The talk before the last game was by how much we would bury them.

    When we were down we always performed well against Essendon. Perhaps they have our measure.

    Not by me it wasn't.

    I said we would struggle.

    You might remember the reason why. Rhymes with foreboding.

    Which is appropriate, given the pies fans will be approaching this game with a sense of foreboding, which is defined as 'a feeling that something bad will happen'.

    We will smash them.

    I will be surprised if Brown plays and I expect Sam to play. Put simply there is no one else. JVR played well but against the worst team in comp. 

    You can only beat who you play against. van Rooyen should definitely get a game ahead of Weideman.

    were we loading in all the other games

    They have our game plan down pat

    Sure we might win but percentage wise they have proved themselves superior

    They’re the only team we haven’t beaten in two years…

    Correct but I still believe you need to consider that element before we put him into one of the biggest games of the year. One hell of a step up from Preston at the bottom of the vfl to Collingwood at the G.

    Young Tigers player with only a handful of games kicked 5 goals against Brisbane on the weekend, you never know unless you give it a go

    A handful vs zero!

    Huge difference not 

    I really really hope the Ginnivan incident with Gawn coming off the ground last time is one of those 'You don't forget' moments for the guys.

    I like the kid and think he can play but I think the rest of Australia would like to see him get some just desserts on national television.

    The Pies fans are insufferable, the talk im hearing on radio is how easily they will just waltz over us.

    This is their Grand Final :)

     

    Last time we were hamstrung with injuries to Gawn Petty, May was out  no TMac. We kicked the first 5. We were still ahead 5g to 2g early in the 3rd when Petracca fumbled in the goal square and a few other fumbles cost is big time. Umpiring was shiite as per usual. Cox feasted on our lack of talls. Even MBrown was shifted to defence.

     

    We have got this.

    It takes a strong personality to front for your first game at the  G in front of 70k+ and against the pies who will target him. Let's hope he is that good.

    Ben Brown in at least one photo from today's training gallery. Doesn't really tell us anything.

    Harmes for Neal-Bullen. Hunt's speed is required.

    Brown (if fit) or Van Rooyen for Weid. If its Van Rooyen tell him all we are expecting is a contest in the air.

    We can't keep playing Weid. Its like playing one short.

    Do you also forget that May wasn’t playing …Petty of and on…lost Turner early to concussion & Max had done his ankle  and probably should have been off. QB always seems to be in a loading phase as well. It’s very hard to replace players in real game time.  Think we have the players this time to give us the win .

    What are you going to lose when compared to he'd be replacing

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
