The Demons have a fantastic opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the competition in a Friday Night 3rd vs 4th Blockbuster at the MCG by defeating a contender in the Brisbane Lions and creating a buffer for themselves in the Top 4.

Not at all confident. 
 

Clearly we all know the contest is where it’s all gonna have the most impact against the Lions. 
Question is which part of the ground?

with Petracca out of the guts and down forward more we really need to trust that the new group of mids will get the job done. Sparrow, Rivers Jordon et al are seasoned bodies and should physically match it with the Lions. 
But of course, after that there’s skill level…. and whether we have enough of that I’m not so sure. 
 

Draw somewhere in the 65 point range.

Righto gang, not braggin' - just statin'. 

Enjoying an Aperol whilst killing time. Overnight ferry Brindisi to Corfu.

1020h game time in Grecia. I'll be listening (sun too bright to watch) and reading. 

Don't let me down guys. Saints coverage not bad. Hardly a Michaelangelo picture of the game but ...

Go Dee's ... happy to get the 4 points but 2 from JvR and Kossie would be nice.

Melbourne ... M. Gawn ... 3 votes.

I'm a little scarred from the start of the year where they just blew us away in the midfield until the lights blew out.  Hoping we can capture some of that magic from the final 10 minutes!

It's going to be a perfect night weather wise. no excuses for fumbling

Looking forward to watching the BB/JVR combo in action. Reckon they'll kick 6-7 goals between them with Trac chipping in with a couple.

Lower the eyes boys. Lower the eyes.

I have belief and reckon we'll win by 25 points.

Go Dees

Very funny.

Wont be a game for silky skills.

It's one of those games, win and The Lions simply can't play the MCG - lose and we are Just pretenders. Just take the four points " not you Petracca" and don't read the press.

What a game this will be.

Brisvegas are looking to gain street cred at The G and we must win to solidify a top four spot. 

Our defence must restrict them. A repeat of last week's form from May would be handy and we must keep a leash on Charley.

I reckon Petracca will spend more time at centre bounces and tonight's finals like game will draw the best from Viney.

Our forward line is the question mark. Someone must lead the way with a four goal haul. It's a huge test for JVR but hopefully BBB will snag one early and drag the heat. A return to form from Kozzie and we're certainties!

Friday night games make for a very painful trek from The Manor. Could someone please confirm whether or not  Dynon Road is fully functional?

The Manor's in house diviner has predicted Dees by 19.

Big stage Friday night, the streets are watching Kozzie the time is now to unleash the fury. 

Time to send a message, a timely  reminder to the player haters that we are playing for keeps this year.

One, that would mean rubbing shoulders ( Urgh ) with plebeians - a fate to be avoided at all costs.

And two .... most horribly .... the terrifying probability  of the train picking up neanderthals at St. Albans!

No, I shall travel in one The Manor's comfortable fleet in far better company.

Hope we win in the ruck - no Grundy may change the psyche of Max

Max has struggled with tall, gawky ruck opponents in the past

Limit the influence of Neale and that other young kid (whose name escapes me - looks fairly suited to owning a long sword and drinking mead)

Confidence is low, but optimism is high.

I love and hate Friday night games for this reason. Win and the weekend is set up. Lose and you'll be annoyed for the rest of the weekend.

Hey! We ARE NOT neanderthals  here in snorbs. Meth heads? Yes. Shoplifters? Yes. People who sleep in other people’s toss-out? Sometimes. But we’re NOT Neanderthals! 

Besides, replacement buses on our line ended last night, we’re back to first-world travel!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
