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

Agreed, it was 13 goals to 2 at half time 3 weeks ago, a similar score is desirable.

    Daniher out means they will play fast corridor football instead of their slow high marking game.

    What game style do we fail against most often?

    They have to win the ball first and they’re not as skilled as other sides that have beaten us that way.

    Dud Sportsbet have the Dee's as unbackable favourites for the first 10 rounds this year?

    That's right! Or at least half of that will be acceptable!

    If we are too tall back maybe an opportunity, to shift Petty forward to help out BB?

    I'm surprised and shocked on two counts.

    1. Someone found Daniher attractive enough to do the deed

    2. Daniher was accurate enough to "kick a goal."

    Never a problem for AFL players no matter their looks. 
    But yeah, can’t dispute your 2nd point 😂

    Hearing that we also might have a late out for Smith or Bedford either of which will play or supersub

    Might want to send this through to the coaches at MFC, doubt they will catch on

    Sounds a bit Spargo-ish.

    Last week i was anxious as all heck, today i am very much "what will be will be". Would be a waste of a season to go out in straight sets, particularly starting 10-0.

    It's all up to the boys now. I'll be there cheering them on tonight, and hopefully get to next week as well. 🤞

    Agree. But that’s how the Dees mess with your head. Flat this week. Smash the Lions

    have a week of getting your hopes up then Hawkins kicks 6 and we are crushed!

    good times!

    Yep


    No matter what anyone says, there is huge pressure on us tonight. 

    We haven't had enough go wrong out of our control to mean that a straight sets exit after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd is acceptable. It isn't.

    I put very little weight in the margin of the two H&A games. Finals are different. We won't blow Brisbane apart (if we do, that says way more about them than us). We are better than them, we should find it easier to score against them than Sydney given their leaky defence, and we should have a point to prove and a burning desire to right the ship.

    I don't mind if it's a slog, or if it's close, or if we're behind at points. I just want a win. I want a shot at Geelong in a prelim, where for the first time in a long time we'll be significant underdogs.

    funny thing is, if we win tonight, I think we will beat Geelong next week. go figure

    Things were certainly different last week. We just need to get the job done tonight, that is all. Not particularly fussed about the perfect performance. Win and go again.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
