Obviously, like everyone on here I think we’ll win, however I don’t think it’ll be as big as the North win. I’m expecting an 8-10 goal win.

    Hopefully trac can continue his good form and keep kicking goals and also hopefully Clayton uses the ball well today and hits our fowards up.

    I was going to post some interesting points, about our defenders and how they will get to play their preferred game, about the sheer weight of class, power and stamina in our midfield, that Sicily will be forced to play tight on Fritsch and that won't work anyway (like making Lever play close on Hawkins), about the probability of Van Rooyen dominating Frost and of our pressure game causing a whole bunch of their young players to be second-guessing and rushing directly into our turnover traps...

    But, in summary, I'll be watching this game expecting to see an impact crater when the dust settles at the Hawthorn footballish club.

    I'm going in hungry.

    Dumb question. Home & Away membership get's into the game using Melbourne membership, yeah? 

    even just a home membership does because it's a "replacement" game for our "home" game in alice

    I'm not as optimistic as others on this thread - I'm expecting a 15 goal win.

    With all this talk of a potential goal-fest I’m SO glad I’m not on flogging duty today. My biceps still aren’t talking to me after last week’s match. 😭

    beautiful day for footy, shame it's not a 2:10pm start

    I hope there’s not many ppl staying away because of this. That’s the very definition of a fair weather fan.

    There will be a lot of fans on flogging duty tonight at the Carlton game @WalkingCivilWar - have no fear.

    Hawks have a couple of players back after resting Bruest, CJ and Mackenzie. So they won’t be as insipid as last week. 

    expect a decent contest in the first half then a 10 goal better second half

    Do it for May. Hopefully he can get into some form too

    I was watching his highlights from 21 and some of 22. He is clearly hampered.

    I’m sure he’s had plenty of practice 

    It's funny, I used to kinda enjoy "Frost Ball" when he was with us because it enjoyable seeing someone from our club take the game on. Now I enjoy it even more as an oppo fan because I'd say the success rate is below 50%, and it's utter chaos to the point it unsettles his own team. It's exciting and exhilarating when it comes off, but most of the time it's just insane!

    I would imagine Frost will be going to JvR, it could actually be an interesting match up. Frost has speed and strength, but JvR is pretty smart for a young pup so I could see him running rings around him if given the chance. I would love for him to kick a bag today.

    I think Frost has gotten worse but I always he thought he was a good player for us. Yea sure sometimes he turned it over but overall he was pretty good and your right it was exciting stuff.

    Well, it would be unseemly to have 20 pages of everyone just chanting 'Kill. Kill. Kill.'

      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?
