He taunted Harry by pretending to cry. 

You're thinking Lincoln McCarthy with that one.

But yes, hoping there's some fire in the guts from last year's finals.

    I hope we just play them off the park. Couldn't really give a stuff about drama from last year.

    Anyone know if the boys are having a light run at Gosch’s tomorrow prior to flying up to Brisbane?

    Oh you’re right. They’re both chumps so they’re easily confused. 🤣

    Actually, I just remembered how Jarrod Berry was involved to an extent in this whole deplorable thing. Not worth talking about.

    Would be surprised if May plays so soon, Salem will need a game in the VFL to get some touch. I have from time to time overactive Thyroid, takes quite a few weeks to normalise and running even 500m can cause exhaustion with elevated heart rate.

    Hope he has either done radioactive iodine, or cut it out, as a long term fix.

    I'm fine with this.

    There is honestly no rush in getting these guys back. Take all the time they need so that it sets them up well for the year.

    Just arrived in Brisbane. 
     

    80% humidity hit me as soon as we walked down the stairs off the Virgin flight 

    (ps. Virgin - wonderful!!? What a joke !!!! - delayed 40 minutes arrival ). 
     

    Dees will need good rotations through the midfield 

    Having a sub will help !

    Yep, me too 


    If it’s 31C, will there be extra breaks? What’s the AFL heat policy? I realise it’s a night game, but that’s a ridiculous temperature to be playing AFL football in

    According to BOM it'll be 25 degrees from about 7 pm onwards.  Don't know about humidity though!

    My phone weather predicts humidity between 70 to 80% from 8 to 11 p.m. ice vests and fans needed I suspect.

    Do the Richmond players still money grab these nights years after there flags???

    Dunno. But I must say 2021 was the subject of discourse for the majority of the night. 🏆❤️💙

    BTW, two thirds of the night was great. The other third, Clarrie spoke.  😁

    Seriously, I couldn’t understand a word he said apart from “hello” at the start.

    I live in Brisbane. It’s cooled down quite a bit after a heat wave. Last weekend was absolutely stinking hot, so looks like we will be fairly fortunate with the weather. It will be relatively temperate and the real hot edge to days and nights has eased this week.

    Have it on good authority that it has been an unhappy team at the Brisbane Lions over the offseason.  Not sure of the cause, or if it was a factor in them starting poorly v Port.  But just passing on what I’ve heard.

    So I assume May will be suiting up for Casey in that case?

    On Tuesday Goodwin doubled down from the post game presser saying all four players (May, Salem, Fritta, Viney) will be available for selection at either MFC or Casey.

    (on a serious note, if your mail is solid, then they obviously don’t want to risk May so early in the season.

     

    pressure is already on the Lions. could be 0-2. then play the dogs away and the Pies

    they will be fired up for friday! pity we might not have our brutes in viney may kozzi

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
