Alot on the line in this game.

Win this and I will be reasonably happy for a while.

While a loss will make me disproportionately upset for longer.

    I love the Narrm concept and that we led the league with this… but we have a [censored] record with that as our name. Have Narrm won a game yet? MFCSS rising … this is big game.

    I doubt other clubs care less about our name change. Collingwood will likely hit us on KB . They usually do .

    Naarm wont change anything.

     

     

     

    We’ve responded well after each loss this season. Keen to see the midfield dynamic without Oliver over the next couple of weeks.

    A great start time for a game, weather should be fine and hoping a lot of us turn up to support the boys.

    With Collingwood and Geelong around the corner, this is an absolute non negotiable must win game of footy.

    I'm more confident against Geelong than Freo tbh.

    Will be interested to see how Langdon goes today without Hunter.

    I have a feeling that Viney will have a huge, match winning game today. Without Oliver it just seems set up for the unleashing of our ballistic missile!!

    Not near as confident about this one as I was 3 weeks ago. Freo haven’t beaten anyone of note (Geelong had no midfield) but they’re confidence is up, and they are playing better. They’re moving the ball quicker and their forwards have found some form.

    Clarry a massive out but Walters is an important player for them as well.

    The forecast is a clear, sunny 15 degrees. Perfect for footy. It’s been a while since we had a Saturday afternoon game at the G so I’m really looking forward to this one.

    We won’t have it all our own way, but I reckon Fritta will do the business for us.

    Dees by 20 points

    He might go better without him and thrive on the responsibility.

    He’s been less influential since Hunter’s joined us. His possessions have gone down from 22 to 19 a game and he’s on track for just a 4 goal season, down from 13 in both 2021 and 2022.

    The last 3 weeks he’s average just 16 touches and laid only 1 tackle.

    Circumstances force me to take a circuitous route to the G today and, consequently, I shall be leaving one of The Manor's fleet at Wallan Railway Station. No doubt it will be stolen and I shall have to seek an alternative means of transportation in the pm.

    However, my mood will not be dampened as I will have witnessed a comprehensive Dees victory.

    Even with Clarrie MIA, I have no concerns about our ability to cover Freo in all respects. 

    We have flag aspirations. We must finish top 4 or , better still, top 2.

    The second half of the season is near and dropping games to sides below you on the ladder simply cannot be allowed.

    Haven't checked the stats yet, but I'd wager we have a better KB  record than QB.

    We've got today. I keep backing Kozzie for a big day out. It's going to be today. Us by 41.

    … and a bright and happy good morning you too, you big ol’ golden ray of sunshine, you!!! 😘

    We’ll have a a comfortable win today and Demonland won’t go into Chernobyl-level melts. But should we in fact lose, I’ll see y’all around about the middle of next week when everyone’s had a chance to calm the [censored] down. But not on Thursday since the aftershocks will be felt again once selection is announced. 😁

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    Exactly. Some DL posters think a loss to Freo ends our season, but fail to take into account that WE ARE CAPABLE OF UPSET WINS AWAY or as UNDERDOGS too.

    Wonder whether he’ll stay on the one side of the ground all day like he was doing until this year?

    I have a wager with a friend that at least once today May will kick in to the right. I am on No

    He had a great game against Freo in Rd 1 2021 at the G. Kicked a lovely banana goal iirc. Hoping he can get back to that kind of form because he's been well down this year.

    Should win today.

    I would like to see McDonald really have a presence today. I just remember Brown and Weideman were non existent last time we played them at the G. I'm going to back him in for a big one today.

    Petracca and Viney to really stand up and show that no Oliver, no worries.

    Max had an absolute stinker. Rarely does this two weeks in a row.

    Kozzie to get back into form starting today.

    Won't be watching the footy as I'll be kicking the dew off at 2pm so hoping for some good news once I open my phone again at 4:45pm.

    • 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.
