    Confident about this one. Kat Park doesnt worry us, although we have been worse on the road this year.

    If Tomlinson was any stiffer, hed be dead.

    Good opportunity today to bank another win against a struggling cats outfit and make our charge for top 2. 

    Pretty confident we will get it done but it will be a slog, especially if it rains. Let's hope we don't put together another wet weather performance like we did against the bombers.

    Dees by 22 point, come on!

    Yeah the only thing keeping this tight will be the wet conditions. Confident, otherwise. 

    Dees by 15 points.

    Here’s hoping we don’t have any “learnings” after the game. 
     

    I thought we buried the Geelong era in that prelim in 2021. Surely tonight is the chance to truly end it.

    You can't bury a club like Geelong in a preliminary final - they'll only get stronger.

    The only way to truly get the job done is to kill 'em on a cold winter night on their home deck, far from the spotlight of September, when there are no witnesses and nothing on the line but their own pride and dreams - crushed at last.

    Never easy at taxpayer funded park as their home record attests.

    They are undermanned and vulnerable. If we're about our business we should win. But it'll be tough. Always is down there.

    Yea, Finally game day has arrived. 

    As Bruce would say...A mouth watering feast tonight.

    Can't say I'm happy about Tommo but must move on.

    This will be tough at their fortress. They always are.

    But we have their measure.

    Go you good Demons.

    Kings Birthday game I was super confident but tonight I'm just nervous. The Cats are a five goal better team at home even when playing poorly. We have not played well in the wet for a while. But as long as we stop Cameron we should get the win.

    It's a coin flip for me, won't be surprised if we drop it but also don't see why we can't get the job done. Need to adapt to the ground and make it nice and small for the felines.

    The last time I went there it was a cold wet night like tonight and they smashed us,kicking something like 20-3, kicking them from everywhere.  We were our usual inaccurate selves, missing from straight in front, 20-30 metres out.

    I am confused by the confidence.

    Yes on paper we are a better side. They are missing some key players, but playing in Geelong always means they have the upper hand, especially in terrible conditions.

    We SHOULD win, but when you play them it's never more than a 50/50 proposition.

    Their season is one loss away from death. They know that and will come out super hungry.

    This is one game in which I have no hesitation admitting that viewing from the comfort of The Manor is far preferable to live attendance.

    However, I must also pass on my admiration to those hardy Demonlanders who are making the trek.

    I'm feeling very upbeat about this game and foresee a comfortable win. The ****ty weather won't help their key forwards and May, Petty , Lever etc will finish the job.

    I'm predicting a tense first half and then the Dees to runaway by 4 or 5 goals. The Manorial staff will be busy refilling my shiraz.

    Thomo is so stiff to miss.When he first arrived I thought when he played back we had a ripper of a player.He missed a GF and many games with his ACL and has slowly taken his time to get confidence ,fitness and form back,it takes some longer than others.He hits form so they kick him in the nuts again,hope he knows why because we sure dont

    I was explaining to Frau Nekkid that she is welcome to join me on the couch for the TV coverage (including any half time jollies), on elf the rare games I will watch from home.  I was explaining to her that GMHBA stadium is unfit to hold cattle, let alone an AFL game.  Basically chop a third off one side of the ground because there is a road there, and pretend it is up to standard.  Frau N will barrack for Maxxi (her favourite) and will sing the song if we win.  Otherwise she will take off to less touchy freely parts of the chateau.

    It's very refreshing to hear all the confidence in this thread and for a game against Geelong in Geelong.

    People keep saying they're undermanned but the only line they're undermanned in is the midfield. Sure that could be enough but they have 2 Coleman medalists and a talented backline.

    They will also no doubt have the umpires on their side egged on my their supporters.

    why are we confident? Cats are 1-3 in the last 4. lost to giants at alphabet stadium, lost to tigers and freo. 

    Duncan is their only decent inside mid. Cameron out of form (touch wood)

    We will smash them in the middle. bring the pressure should be an easy win

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
