I reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?  

The media have hyped the hell out of it. Mostly because they are both AA and neither is a notable forward. I agree, it is not going to be the most significant factor. Based on what I saw against Richmond it is going to be out ball movement. I do think trying to take the 45 kick will open it up for us to use Gawn and Grundy more effectively as outlets.

 

Tomlinson won’t be the difference if we win or lose, he’s one part of a team defence. 
Go Demons!!!

If we let Bulldogs in with a few easy goals i dont think our forwards minus Fritsch can kick a winning score.

Geelong kicked over 100 p and still lost comfortably in the end.

Are you suggesting if we let in a few easy goals it will be due to Tomlinson?

Due to 'Melbourne Air' I cant smell anything.  Sinuses are totally blocked.  Feeels like a pencil rubber up each nostril.

I can still yell Go Dees.

Dontchya know, DZ… If a meteor collided with Earth tonight it would be due to Tomlinson. 

Great now I have to take a bulldog supporter with me and a cocky 14 year old boy at that fml

I remember a lot of h8 for Lever as when he was returning from his knee.....lot of knockers. I dont think ppl understand the confidence side of injury rehab. Can take a while.

Clearly he should have taken an intercepting mark

Disagree. We've all seen what Pickett can do when he's at his best. And 2021 showed that Brown and Tmac can be very damaging when they're both fit.

Not to mention some cameos from the Gawndy factor

This is so true, WWS! This is oftentimes more important than the physical healing. The power of confidence is immeasurable. So it’s also why we all need to get behind Tommo. Give him all the love he deserves and NEEDS.

I've got the same issue. A lot of the time I can't smell anything.

Apart from the sweet smell of victory of course!

I'm taking a Dogs fan too. Hope tonight doesn't become a pharmaceutical nightmare.

I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

Before Tomlinson went down the knee on 2021 he was playing CHB with aplomb!

We know he’s only in the team due to injuries but let’s give the support tonight because trying to contain Naughton is going to take a Herculean effort. 

 

The weather is wild. It’s like 9000 degrees with a gale force wind. Good luck kicking goals 🫠

Well if it's windy the Dogs might have issues with all the set shots they'll be expected to take on our 'no name' backline.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • 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.
