    No surprises is a bit of a surprise...

    May and Hibberd looked tender and Chandler ??

    So much for managing the quick turnaround

    Hi DJ. As much as that concerns me my response related to the inclusion of No.19 up front. I guess their best defender goes to JVR then?

    That line up is a joke. Only a few named were in their real positions. 

    That's the whole point - Goody's having a joke with us. He does this so 'Landers go insane. Laugh along I say. He's probably watching on laughing with the way he's #%&*!#@ with our brains. It's his secret weekly indulgence.

    I was hoping that Daniel Turner would have got a run in the backline, really surprised that Hibbo got up he looked in a bit of trouble late in the game skying kicks. He is a tough customer.!!

    I recon Hibbo perpetually looks in a state of trouble. Love him.

    Lever was calling out a nickname to Schache.

    "Weasel",  I was taken a back.

    Perhaps he has weaseled his way into the team, or his bonding with deep and meaningful discussions.

    The selection mirrors the kind of week on DL.

    I resemble that remark!

    I was hoping some of the old codgers would be managed this week with the short turnaround - May and Hibberd. Similarly, I hope the mids are rotated out of the centre a little more for Kozzie, JJ and Sparrow.

    Of course we won't take Norf lightly!

    I smell some late outs.

    Just something in the air.

    Didn't Rivers have a knock as well? Maybe just cramp 

    Yeah, just cramp.  Was stretching it out for a while before he totally missed that kick and was subbed immediately after.

    They’ll look to stretch us for height, especially after the Essendon approach last week.

    typically we’d just run all over them but with the short break and injuries to some of our smalls, there is more risk in this game than I’m comfortable with.

    Maybe Fritter at centre half back is a thing.

    A few posters have expressed doubts and concerns about the game against Norf.

    I don't get it! 

    We will [censored] on Norf from a great height!

    I don’t agree. We are in very mediocre form and bottom sides come out with great intent against us while we often come out napping. 
    5 day break on top of that and this could end in tears.

    I’m not outraged. I just think it’s stupid. 

    Less stupid or more stupid than telling the opposition exactly how we're going to line up?

    Correct Jaded, I expect they will come out hard. They may well hang around until half time .... but after that ....

    I just realised it. The Deez media division ^%&*@#-!p the media release. They reversed the lines. Should have read:

    B: J Jordon, J.van Rooyen, J.McVee

    HB: J.Viney, J.Schache, M.Hibberd

    C: E.Langdon, C.Oliver, T.Sparrow

    HF: A.Brayshaw, B.Fritsch, T.Rivers

    F: J.Bowey, S.May, J.Lever

    Makes much more sense this way.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
