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 .

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      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

      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.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      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.
