Because the Lions are so hard to beat on their own deck, this would be the first time this year when the Demons aren’t favourites with the bookies.

This is the best time for us to defy the odds, to prove the doubters wrong and to earn our spot in the top four!

    I want to see a really strong all team defensive game, especially from our back 6, no leaky goals please.

    Keep the Lions to 70 points or below, Fritsch to kick 4 and Melksham and BBB to combine for 6.

    Dees by 37 points.

    Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads headland and then a dip. Geez I'm glad to be out of the miserable sodding Victorian weather.

    I'll be sitting in the members tonight, it'll be a blast. Let's get it done... and if we don't,  I still think we're the only team within the finals that can win from anywhere. ❤️💙

    Feeling very confident about this game

    Our away record is exemplary, the manner of the Carlton win will give the boys real belief and we have champions players who will rise to the occasion

    Snuff out the threat from Neale and Cameron and we're half way there

    I reckon Kossie will light up the Gabba tonight

    Dees by 25 points

    Hugely important game for our flag chances and whether our home and away season could be considered a success.

    Not many clubs win a flag with their most recently consecutive win coming in round 16.

    Would be disappointed to end the season in an “also ran” position of 6th after starting 10-0.

    A win and the sky is the limit for us!

    Had a listen to SEN this morning, they played a bit of Fagan's media conference from yesterday. When asked about Neale and possibly Harmes tagging him I'm sure I heard he said we used questionable tactics to nullify Neale last time we played them. He then mentioned it's up to the umps to watch that sort of stuff. Just what the ump lovers on this forum wanted to hear.

    Go Dees!!!

    It will be a bit difficult to deal with being in the top 4 since about Rd 2 and not making it. Get it done Dees!

    I'll be in the Lions members as well Onion.

    This is it, we have to take the next step up tonight.

    I'll be there with my wonderful dees supporting wife and my lions supporting father in law and some old friends who are lions supporters.

    I hope we clobber them.

    Nice one Brownie, a bit of locals knowledge please - I used to hit up ‘Ze Germahn Klub’ pre match when I lived up here 10 years ago, alas it’s booked out- any other recommendations? (Not the🍍!!) 
     

    I’m expecting a tight error riddled match with the Dees pulling away in the third and for Brisbane to ride the crowd a bit in the final.

    Stuck in a hospital bed after a (minor) mishap yesterday.  A win tonight, by a big enough margin to grab 2nd spot, will be just the tonic I need.  Go Dees!

    Was rewatching highlights from our GF and it’s been a while since we played with such confidence, strength and speed. 

    If there is ever a H&A game to treat like a final this is it.

    As usual against Brisbane, Hipwood, Daniher and every other mug to bash up Gawn and the forward line. Dees must stand up and make a statement.

    I believe in this team. We have lifted for high stakes interstate matches without fail for the best part of the past 2 years and I don't expect tonight to be any different 👿

    When I boarded the plane to Brisbane yesterday and saw the boys I walked past Max on the plane and said good luck tomorrow night & please don't stuff up our top 4 chance.

    He said thanks and we'll try not to.

    Also wanted to say to May come up with a better strategy for your kick ins but didn't have the guts to do so.

    The home deck record is pretty misleading.  Yes they've won all 10 there this year, but only 2 have been against top 8 teams (Collingwood in Rd 5 when they were a bit his and miss, then Carlton in Rd 21).

    Did he add what they and other teams do to Oliver...

    He has played that 'poor Neale' card a few times now this year.  Probably trying to get the umps on side.  He should show more public belief in his team rather than sook.

    So what if the Lions have won 18 of their last 20 at the Gabba? The Dees have one of the best away records of the comp and everything to play for.

    Cmon Dees - no fake motorbikes tonight please.

    Wonder what he would say about Oliver if he was a Lion.

    He is in a wresting match nearly every contest to get free to go after the ball and rarely free kicked.

      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.
