I have no idea who will win tonight.  At our best we can smash any team in the comp, but as we've seen too often there seems to be an inability to finish games off, where half the team goes missing for a half of football.  I can only hope that something has clicked during the week and there truly is a hunger to win.  If we're up by 30 points and Carlton come back and win I'll be guttered.

Maybe we should let the Blues get out to a 4 goal lead at halftime then run them down as was happening to them earlier in the year. Psychologically it's easier to get on a roll chasing a lead than defending one 😜

 

On the way.   Come on Dees 

slow drive to Melbourne   No police please

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

I wouldn’t read too much into Carlton getting close to the Lions in the last quarter sisso. Brisbane well and truly packed up shop by then, too busy thinking about their 5 day break heading into the Saints game.

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.

Hard to get excited about the game.The team is firing on four cylinders out of 6 at best.

If we win tonight which we should it all  comes down to a 50/50 Brisbane game.

The Pies loss last week with our dominance inside 50 shows we are simply not clicking

Hoping our ball getters have more of an impact. I want lots of goal assist and smart plays.

Our handballs have to be to players with more freedom. 

Score well, when if we are dominating, otherwise we give them a sniff.

I want us to hit the scoreboard hard in the third and to keep the momentum going into the last quarter. 

Would love to see some stab passes into the forward 50.

Can't let Carlton out mark us, the talls need to be there at each aerial contest.

Pressure, pressure and take it on when it is our time.

Need us to play as a team, do the roles, the one percenters and some magic.

Time for our best.

Go Dees.

Blues odds are way too juicy

 

gut instinct this will be closer than many think 

Odds on Cripps first goal or Cripps pass to a forward for first goal?

Time is now dees, Blues missing all their midfield depth. 

Foot on the throat and remind the competition we're still a force in 2022 

 

They have their best 3 in Cripps, Walsh and Cerra. Our midfield depth is nothing to write home about anyway.

Wouldnt let Cerra carry Tracs boots he is no champ


The Dees will heading into the finals winning these last two games easily as their goal kicking clicks into 'finals' gear. We are playing ourselves into impressive form in the middle. Brisbane was lucky to win last night. A sad display of King's goal kicking yips a reminder to us the importance of a healthy mindset.

But we know how these "no champs" seem to turn it on against us.

JUH kicks 5 straight against us, then kicks 4 points in his next game.

Johnson gets 4 straight against us, 3rd or 4th game.

Reid and McDonald 3 each and Reid BOG.

Been going on for years, where players start their careers, or have their best game against us. A classic example was Warren Ralph for Carlton. He played 21 games for them and 2 against us, scoring 8 goals in the first and 4 in the next. You could find loads of examples if you searched through the records.We seem to be that team where a player can have a day out against us.

Two teams who have shown real weakness in the 2nd half. The last quarter of the game will be either a fierce battle or a skills-and-intensity fade out. Our best is far better than theirs, but they are good enough if we don't bring our best. 

I hate Carlton but I honestly don't know who will win.

The problem is we’ve folded so many times this season now that all the other sides are going to believe they can win if they keep on coming…..no way I think tonight is going to be a walkover

Sad but true

Half cranky, half nervous, half resigned to fate

Go Dees by 22 points

I’m tipping an annihilation tonight. Last year wasn’t a fluke, all things considered we’ve been playing some good footy the last 4-5 weeks even though we’ve had the three losses. We know what’s at stake, whilst the 4 points is the priority we will be fully aware of how much % will decide the top 4.

Just win boys!

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

It's our last H&A game at the G this year. Looks like it'll be perfect weather. No excuses for Dees fans not to show up to this one. With Carlton pushing for finals I expect it to be at least 70k, hopefully nudge 80k

Message to the players:  You may be aware that you did untold damage to the good humour and well-being of all of us Demonlanders last weekend.  Please understand that there is a huge onus of responsibility on you to make it up to us this evening.  We are mostly forgiving people.  You know what’s required ……….. just get it done!  Thanks

We couldn’t drop this, surely? Anyway, I’m into my last few days in Bali. I have given up on Seminyak. Too many Bintang singlet wearing Aussies. And no-one recognised my MFC cap! I’ll be watching in Sanur. Go Demons!!

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • 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.
