Do or Die Today!

The boys have gotten up and performed every time this year when we were questioned and the pressure was on. We smashed Brisbane coming off a 3 game losing streak, smashed Freo in Perth when we needed to after 3 mediocre games, got over the line against Carlton to keep our top 4 dream alive and lastly beat Brisbane in Brisbane to secure top 4.

Yes we didn't beat Sydney for an easy Prelim spot but today is different, we lose and it's over, so we need to win and I think the boys will get it done. After that, Geelong won't seem like such a massive challenge and we can beat them. Before you know it we're in another GF.

Let's go dees!

I hope your right.

Last week the Buddy free and 100m penalty and then Reid 50m in the 3rd both gave Sydney goals when we were on top and changed the game. However it did feel like Swans really owned the 2nd half of the game.

while May & Clarrie were great Fritsch ok and the player on Henry did a solid job, the rest of the team were below average or poor, so getting back to at least average across the board, with a few players going well and that should be enough against the Lions!

 

It doesn’t feel real that our season could be over in less than 24 hours, there is so much unfinished business.

All of the player interviews this week don’t feel like it’s a possibility either. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not…


We'll win. The Lions are total bottle jobs and will fold again tonight

Performance wise we need to lift. Get some sharpness and rhythm back into our game. No more fumbling

Forward pressure please. If i see the ball rebounding out of our forward 50 i'll lose my [censored]

ANB to find some kind of form. HE has not been good recently. Salem likewise. We need his accurate disposal off half back if we're to win a prelim or granny

I hope Trac's guardian angel let's nothing further happen to his injured leg

Need some real momentum before we take on the cats. That'll be a tough ask playing as we are 

Come on Dees. Produce your best in a final before the faithful. Remind the Cats and Swans what we're capable of

See you all at the G later

Not sure tonight is the right time to give back the cup.

Give 'em he'll.

 

The horror of last week has passed. Today is going to be a GOOD day!

We own the lions.

Go Dees!

I have a sense this game will go to the wire. 

Only if our defence has a shocker like against the Bulldogs. It shouldn’t be close at all. If we played the way we did last week without improvement we still win tonight comfortably.

Yeah, let's give them he will.  Go Demons!

The Lions will be fired up for this one, after the embarrassment of the past few years. And they will come out hard but I expect them to play the ball more than the man this time 

Demons by 9 points in a cracker

Gawn BOG

Seems kinda fitting, and may be the last time we can sing it for a while…

Lovely 20oC day predicted. Hardly any rain in Victoria at the moment. Maybe a bit of drizzle tonight but who gives AF!?

put on your shorts and thongs and get on down. *To quote my Layzie friend

Age this morning has Dees winning by tipsters 14 to nil.

Max is the back page article. Its all about us.

Brenton Sanderson on Whateley yesterday said Dees win by 30 plus and a potential blowout, and Goody needs to be thinking who he rests for final quarter.

David King "...can't make any case for a Lions win tomorrow..."

I refuse to believe Oliver , Viney, May....... will leave anything on the field.

That's what I'm going with until proven wrong. 


AS TRADITION DEMANDS

FOR KING AND COUNTRY

FOR KITH AND KIN

FOR ALL THOSE BOYS AND GIRLS

WITH DREAMS OF DEMON

DO AND DARE

DO IT DEES

AT THE 'G

NINE O' NINE

Your Layzie friend has us getting on down AND getting on up AND getting on board. And he’s totally right! @layzie is a one-man pep team! 😁


GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!!!

GIVE ‘EM HELL!!!!

 

I hope to see a lot more of the swashbuckling, fun-loving Demons that we saw last year.

Couple of Geelong supporting friends absolutely [censored] themselves at the thought of playing us in the Prelim. HQ would love last year's game happening again. They would prefer a different result though.

Pretty confident about tonight. 30 points or so.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
