All the more reason why we need to fill the G and be very loud from the very start. We need to take advantage of every advantage we have.

Agreed. Need to make the G sound like the 2018 finals series again and let Sydney feel the raucous and intimidation that we copped in the Perth 2018 prelim.

We most certainly won't get this luxury if/when we play Collingwood in a prelim or a GF.

The last quarter of the round 12 game V's Sydney felt like a Dees away game, particularly in the AFL members. Even when we got on top at stages throughout the night, I thought our crowd was a bit lackluster.

    Yep, that night was a joke. I cracked it at so many friends that night that favoured Kayo. 

    Everyone just get on board,

    Anyone think the same as what I do in regard to Marcus Adams. I think that he was concussed alright but it wasn't that incident.It was actually the incident from the week before against Cats I think and he was cleared to play.Pretty poor if that is what happened in my book..

    Sounds like Sydney are backing in their 10-2-1 record against us at the MCG since 2002 and then get their prelim at home.

    Last three years:

    2022: Swans won by 12
    2021: Demons won by 9
    2020: Didn't play them at the MCG (Swans won 67-46 at the SCG)

    The swans will be a very hard match. I would rather we were playing the other 2 top 4s.

    How so dl4e? Hibba takes Papley, Heeney and Florent. The rest you raffle.

    And as a reward for finishing first, Geelong get to play away to the fourth placed Collingwood.

    FMD

    Um . . . sorry mrtwister. Just checking. You mean the club that plays poor drawing, weak sides, eight times a year on a pocket handkerchief shaped like a triangle, effectively gifting them 32 premiership points, is being hard done by? The current draw is virtually a handicapper event with Jeelong deemed to be on one leg with a blindfold on.

    Poor bloke. The one thing you want is to have a crack but to be continually let down by your body is just unfair. The end is near I suspect.

    Freo’s last 6

    Lost to swans by 17 at home.
    Draw against the tigers at G.
    Bent Over by Melbourne at home.
    Beat the dogs by 17 at Marvel.
    Beat the Eagles big deal.
    Struggled to beat the Giants who didn’t want to win.

    By comparison the Dogs last 6 wasn’t much better, however they did beat us and they have a good recent finals record. This is an each way game for me.

    Dwights tips for this weekend 

    RD 1 

    Tigers by 22 - Better side in better form, Brisbane will be shaken by what happened vs the Dees 

    Dees by 34 - we're a different team than they played last time, will rise for Finals and jump them and carry the lead 

    Pies by 14 - Cats are going to get jumped, mental scars will show and the Pies will win a close one 

    Dogs by 2 - Love the dockers contested style, but i am much more confident in the Dogs ability to kick a winning score than the dockers, even in Perth

    Lions and Dockers for me.

    What I would like to see is Geelong get jumped in the first quarter again in a final. I heard today they are 1W 7L in Qualifying finals.

    I don't.

    The lions are a good team, who ran into a Demon juggernaut. 

    At home they will be too strong for the tigers.

    For punters, the 2.18 for the lions to win is brilliant value.

    They should be fired up after the suggestion they were faux tough guys however with Rayner and Adams out and Dusty back as well as Zorko being Zorko I think the Tigers will have their measure. Would love to see Brisbane boot them out though.

    Was gonna say if they were playing the Dogs this would have been a real doozie.

    Fagan is under incredible pressure to keep his role i'd say. if the Lions bomb week 1 i wouldn't be surprised if they make a change. 

    Selwood meets Viney, I am so looking forward to us playing Geelong. There is a reason why the cats have them as a sponsor, they need a large supply of tidy whiteys before a Demons game.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
