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.

     

    Huge huge game.  Win it and we are likely top 4. Loss means likely battle and a 5-6 finish still could eventuate.  Strange to drop Grundy but in Goody we trust !!

    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.

    Catch the train y’ lazy old bastard. 


    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!

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
