Carlton fans are boasting that their team will make a statement tonight by upsetting the reigning premiers to cement their return to finals football.

That’s right folks. According to them, we’re chopped liver!

Time to prove that the Demons are still premiership contenders!

    Just win boys!

    What crowd numbers are we expecting today? 50k or 70k ? 

    Our form has been very good despite losing 2/3. They won’t get near us if we can go up another level, which is what I expect.

    We usually get up for big games. Think the games against Brisbane after the bye and after the dogs game against Freo.

    We play well when we’re under pressure. But from now on it needs to be fullthrottle every game.

    Low 50’s IMO

    The blues usually get home crowds in the 40-50s even against interstate so it seems low especially when you consider the importance of the game for both teams.

    One should expect a decent crowd but who knows

    Bloos more concerned with getting Cripps off than the playing of the game itself

    It has to start now.


    👉🏽Do not entertain a shoot out
                                                                         👉🏽Match Viney’s intensity

    👉🏽Shut down Curnow and McKay

    👉🏽 Kick straight / give off to someone in better position 

    👉🏽Tackles / defensive pressure inside our 50

    If we can do this, we’ll win by 8 goals. 
     

    Go Dees🔴🔵

    Not really, the dogs game was after a win against port and the pies after a really good game against freo, hardly backs to the wall like the other two.

    I’m saying in games where we absolutely needed the wins, we got the job done.

    If we aspire the Holy Grail in 2022, we should easily account for Carlton tonight, and I think we will.  A margin of 7 or 8 goals will give us a handy percentage boost, so just get it done Dees.

    Can't remember which season it was, but about 7 so years ago, Carlton won only 4 games for the season. 2 of their wins were against Melbourne, who weren't far off making the finals.

    MFCSS has set in, particularly in view of the fiasco regarding Cripps which Carlton will see as a victory.

    Demons were short priced favourites v filth (first time round), Freo (first time round),, Swans, . None of these matches ended well.

    Will definitely be another tough match, hope the boys don’t go to sleep in the 2nd half AGAIN, as Carlton finished full of running last week

    A rock solid team defensive game will get us over the line by about six goals I reckon

    Expect the back six to be ruthless tonight

    Different team they're coming up against now though... If Melb are serious about making it to the end we are winning this. Last two weeks are proof of that, have played pretty good footy

    I remember 2006 where they were absolute pox. They only won like 3 games? Two of those win came against us and pretty much cost us a top 4 chance. 

    Had we even won one of those games we would have gotten the double chance.

    We should win this comfortably but we are teetering on the edge.

    A loss today will see my confidence in defending the flag in tatters.

    Trac to run riot tonight.

    In 2021 we stepped up sure, but this year we’ve folded at the sight of pressure and lost 6 games against top 8 sides. I’d consider games against our main competition as big games, like the two against the Pies in front of huge crowds at the MCG as a prime example. 

    I’m still hopeful we can get going and hit out straps again in finals, but evidence says 2022 demons don’t handle pressure well.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
