NON-MFC: Rd 09 2023


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I think the best thing about monitoring Fremantle's ladder position is the contrast it provides with the feeling that our own destiny is in our own hands. Thinking about the Demons, I think only of our game and maybe take a glance at how the top-4 is progressing. Thinking about Fremantle requires tipping half the round!

Gold Coast over West Coast (Death ride +1)

Richmond to upset Geelong (Death ride +2)

Sydney to splatter Fremantle (Death ride +3)

Port over North (dreams have limits)

Melbourne over Hawthorn (by >20 goals)

Brisbane over Essendon (meh)

Carlton over the Bulldogs (but really, coin toss here)

Adelaide over St Kilda (high drama!)

Collingwood over West Sydney (Death ride -1)

Other than the Carlton Dogs game, Saturday is going to be a day of one sided thrashings IMO.

And yes I am backing Sydney to smash Freo. Season on the line for both, but Freo have Swans, Cats and then Us. They are done already.

Would love to see the Cats beaten tonight. It's unlikely though.

Dogs will easily account for Carlton i reckon. doggies form much better the last few weeks.

No chance GWS beat the pies.

the Cats have named their worst midfield for 20 years. 

aside from Duncan who’s going to win the ball?

Taranto will go nuts. if Tigers can kick a decent score they can win this

Cats are 2-2 at the G. 

Am i convincing anyone?!?

Tigers dropped Cumberland who’s actually been kicking a few. The last 2 weeks they’ve been woeful. Last week early in the 3/4 the Eagles were up by 3.  Yes Geelong’s mids look weakened but surely too much up fwd and down back.

Tigers best is very good. They’ve just only brought it for a half against Carlton, against us and now for one quarter against Geelong so far this season. If they keep this going Geelong will be in for a big fight.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
