Good to be back on our fortress lol.

Zero expectation today. We should win but I've lost trust. I want to see lace out passes to a leading forward but Ross will not let this happen. He will love it if we repeat our standard F50 entries.

If we do more of the same we lose this game. A lot rides on the coaches box tonight.

    I just want to watch an enjoyable game, there’s a reason Pies fans are turning up by the boatload to watch their club.

    It doesn’t have to be all out attack but wouldn’t mind seeing us give a handball receive every now and then

    i can't work out where ga seating is at marvel tonight. the marvel site and ticketmaster are hopeless for ga seating and it seems to vary depending on event. i believe there is supposed to be some near the goals on l1 with most on l3. trying to avoid wasting time wandering around that cold concrete jungle.

    so, does anyone know or have a link

    Just to get a win would be nice

    will not be wet or slippery.  Cold probably 

    but if we cannot beat the saints tonight then we can beat time to music.

    very pessimistic and why not !


    I shall be watching this epic from the balmy confines of The Manor surrounded, naturally, by canapés and matching beverages. 

    I simply hate Darklands and will not view football from that hole.

    Certainly looking forward to young Woey's debut and wish him well. On the other hand, I'm not sold on our forward set up and am most interested to see if we can straighten up - in all senses.

    The aints , however, are going to have their own forward issues when confronted with Messrs May, Lever etc.

    Dees by 27. Three Brownlow votes to Trac.

    We’ve won 8 of our past 11 and 4 of our last 5 at Marvel. With the injuries the Saints have, and all the pressure on us during the week, I’m expecting a 5 goal win.

    Marvel is actually pretty convenient for me as I live on the west side so I’m making the trip tonight to the soulless stadium.

    My problem is we've only picked one key forward who we're not sure whether his knee will hold up or not.

    I'm worried we won't be able to keep them under our score of 4.28.52

    I can't answer your enquiry dc but I will caution you on the likelihood of altitude sickness !

    I'm off to marvel tonight. Don't think I've been there since covid came in. 

    Do people realise Children get in free tonight

    We are under the roof so no excuses not to kick straight. 

    I really have no expectations tonight. I have no idea what melbourne will show up. 

    Just hope it's the melbourne that gets us the 4 points.

    Out of form defensive Dees v Ross Lyons coached team = 0.5% chance of an "enjoyable" game.

    This game will not be one for the purists.

    In fairness, we only had a 19 yr old key forward one out for a while and we were winning.

    Ben Brown will turn it on tonight

    Melky playing 100 games for the MFC today, well done mate! your early career with us was sensational and were one of my favourite forwards to watch. Congrats to Salem on 150 as well.

    I'm just eyeballing it but if you look at our win-loss ratio for the two phases of our accuracy this season it is almost the same as the goals-behinds ratio. 

    I was going to say something about it not being quote as 'simple as that' but it doesn't get much simpler than;

    More goals = more wins

    More behinds = more losses 

    And it's more thanthat as well because every point kicked keeps the opposition in the game

     

    By failing to kill games early we make it harder for ourselves because the oppo stays in games longer with a sniff of winning

    You look at our team:

    - Backline looks fantastic,

    - Mids even with Oliver out, still looks incredibly strong, like seeing Rivers in the mix,

    - Forward line, not as strong, still Kozzie a top small forward, time for BBB, Spargo & Melksham to shoot the lights out with accuracy, and big Maxy and Grundy kick at least one goal each.

    Best of luck to young Woey all reports indicate he is highly skilled, if he can deliver could quickly tie up a spot in the 22!

    Headed to the Marvel morgue tonight, hoping to see Demons salute!

    Go Demons.

    If this was at the G it would be another wet weather game, over our sub-par performances there are no excuses for not kicking straight tonight or not winning contested overhead marking

    I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we win the team just looks so lost in the forward 50 at the moment….will be there of course though

    All top deck usually. Or at least top deck behind each goal.

    I got $10 tickets thru the Demon Army which is level 1 wing, for those not wanting to sit on the top level. Also good cause to support our friend @WalkingCivilWar 😉

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
