    They really phoned that one in didn't they? 

    • Where are the dees at? Haven't made my mind up
    • Gawn, Grundy how is that going to work. Don't know.
    • Forward line could be an issue. Might be fine. Dees fans excited about JVR.
    • Off field issues last year. i'm sure they have been sorted
    • Straight sets losses last year in finals. Will that leave scars? Probably not.

    Makes me wonder what kind of microscope Barrett has.

    I get the feeling that I shouldn’t bother listening to this podcast.

    It is low effort content, but there's a very simple part of my brain that releases dopamine's when I listen to or read MFC related news, regardless of quality! 🤪

    But our forward line could be a major problem again this year.  McDonald has been poor since the middle of 2021.  Brown appears at the end and ANB and Spargo can't score.

    Great article. As is another (by the same journo) linked with that one titled, “Brothers in arms: will the Gawn and Grundy experiment work?” In particular, this…

    Definitely agree that in the second half of last year we played not to lose instead of daring to win. We need to get back to being ruthless.

    Barrett was commentating and standing next to Cornes who was wearing a Dees scarf after the 2021 GF. Cornes put one over Barrett who angrly pulled it off and tossed it on the ground.

    I wouldnt take much notice of him.

    Thanks for sharing. 
     

    I’m surprised fitness was summarily dismissed by Richardson. For me, we just couldn’t physical run out games in the later half of the season including the finals.

    as he says, kpis measured against other clubs don't support that

    this sort of article is great for the non-demonland user or non-mfc fan as it says a lot of the things being said on here last year throughout the season

    Interesting that Richardson said that van Rooyen was unlikely to debut in the round 1.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
