Yeah, was more referring to where someone said they had the group cheer in the middle similar to when it's announced someone will debut.

I reckon you're spot on. Good detective work!

    Yeh well I think part of the reason Melk has come in to play that role is because of the trouble we've had with our own key talls either being outmarked or positioned by key defenders so his inclusion was born out of necessity. 

    Harmes is just too vanilla for me. And if he doesn't have a lock down role, I'd much rather us explore a more dynamic mid to take his place at season's end. A player with composure and great ball use. 

    Have you identified the tree this player grows on?

    Gates open at 415 Dub, so I'm guessing the sheilas start shortly thereafter.

    FFS mate. It's not 1973.

    And best of all, $2 pies from 4.15 until the start of the main game. When was the last time you could buy a pie at the footy for $2? Another very good reason to attend. It almost convinced me to book a flight to the G.

    $2 Rat Coffin is a pretty sick deal.

    You occasionally remind me of Range Rover, who was a particularly heinous and nauseating poser on here years ago.

    Ahh good old Rangey..

    I had my suspicion he came back as Olisik, but I think even big O was still kicking around when Rangey was active.

    Surely he's come back under another name?

    It is a worry that Carlton has 4 tall backs against our 1 tall forward ready to take many marks in the last quarter.

    Yes.

    No changes.

    Same old same old.

    But here's hoping this ossified selection comes out and belts the blues ...the team that is.

    Let us show that we are a true finals threat by not just winning, but demolishing Carlton that he game that will become known as the August Massacre.

    I am seriously worried about not winning the gf this year or even being in it and it ain't a flare up of Mfcss.

    I'm not alone. Too many players a fair way off their best.

    This game needs to be won by us by a huge margin.

    We the faithful have been finally rewarded a flag and although won in Perth it doesn't detract or taint any of its glory or merit.

    Buy how wonderful to see us win one on our home ground, so many can go and see it rather than a digital version.

     

    Go Dees.

     

    Enjoy  the game Mr DS and company.

    Can someone give us the consensus view on final teams?

    Casey team article suggests Harmes playing, not sure if that's std or he's actually confirmed?

    Others thought Laurie would debut, potentially in place of Pickett, does that leave Tomlinson as Sub?

    Just a compilation of rumours and Demonland posts...

    Kozzy may miss with a sore knee.

    Chandler and Bedford have COVID.

    Some discussion whether the excited little crowd of players was excited enough to indicate a Laurie debut.

    Then it gets intriguing because if Kozzy was to miss Laurie seems a better replacement than Harmes, but should it be Harmes then you wouldn't think we'd debut Laurie (or JVR) as sub... Which then leaves Tommo as likely sub.

    It's a bit like an episode of Bold and the Beautiful this week...

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      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.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      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.
