Hope the coach gives Kozzy the occasional short run on the ball (particularly the occasional centre bounce) to get him up and about.

Why, when he has he does nothing he ain't a midfielder..

    Hoping the battle hardened way will prevail over the easy way. I know we’re carrying injuries but I live in hope.

    Not thinking ahead too much but by the time prelim day hits Geelong will have played 1 game in a month and 1 competitive game in 6 weeks. 
     

    Agree, one game at a time

    Pretty sure it comes from english slang.  to 'bottle it', is to choke or lose your nerve. not only in sporting terms. ie. didn't have the nerve to ask a girl out

    Funnily enough, when I hear the expression "bottle it" it's being used in a positive sense, meaning that whatever is being praised is good enough to put into bottles and sell, just like a good wine.

    We always have a secret weapon when we play Brisbane. That weapon is Joe Daniher.

    Hoping for some more slapstick magic and hand on hips second efforts from him tonight.

    Weather wise things looking good.  Only one forecast, Access G3 (which draws data from BOM and unfortunately tends to be the most accurate) predicts a small shower (0.2mm) at around 8pm.

    So no excuses, rock up and be very loud!

    I got Melbourne on my mind. Though the story of royalty makes it hard to be 100%.

    Pressure, run, transition well from attack and defence, get over the nerves quickly, play in the moment and take the opportunities. 

    It will be a tough game, fighting for everything.

    We are a proven big game team and must go in with plenty of confidence. 

    I want our leaders and best, to take it up to them and have great games. They will drag the rest with them.

    C'mon coaches, make the decisions quickly about our style and structure during the game. Get them up and successful. 

    Go Dees!

    Time to get fair dinkum. No picking and choosing to play our best.  I want to see our run of success continue.

    I am hoping if it's close  he'll do a Rohan with 2 minutes on the clock and kick the goal to seal it.

    He's been trying for mark of the year for two seasons now so it's time he actually catches one. 

    Mind you his block to let Trac do his Daicos snr goal last year was pretty snazzy   much unrecognised and gave a needed boost to Tracs goal kicking reputation (!!!)

    I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better.

    Tonight’s banner has a stunning pic of Lever, Maxy, Dogga and Tracc. It will look spectacular when raised. (I’m sure other teams’ cheer squads must be envious of our banners. We’re blessed to have in the DA a rusted-on Dees diehard who runs a printing company, and the quality of his work is next level.)

    And to the left of the pic there’s written in huge letters: 

    WE’RE NOT DONE YET!

    I can’t remember exactly the wording on the flip side (even though I cut the letters out 🤭) but I do know it includes the words ‘unbeatable’ and ‘repeatable’ so one gets the gist of it. ❤️💙

    i can see 2, maybe 3 gingers in that pic, wcw. so, which one is the famous wcw?

    They still control the reigns on game day. Now the squad is selected the aspects of going in unchanged is irrelevant. 

    Would prefer them to make actions then sit on their hands (which they have done in the past), if Brissy starts taking control or we need to get rolling.

    You want them to be non proactive or reactive?

    Maybe you misinterpreted my intentions, or you are holding onto something about the coaches?  

    In style, the tempo, take it on, play percentages, 

    In structure, extra players at the contest, or in defence,  push up the field from defense, crowd the ball, play one on one.

    I could keep going, I hope you get my gist.

    The coaches have to make quick decisions during the game and not just let it roll on. 

    That is my opinion (seriously), if joking I would have said bring Yze on as our med sub.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
