Let's face it, a lot depends on three players in Kozzie, Jvr and Bbb. The first have been out of form and the latter played very little footy .

But like the Pies game, I think we've got this for some reason.

    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)

    This guy?

    Goals are worth their weight in this one, imagine if Nibbler kicks 2, is that worth a nudie run?

    Tonight would also be the perfect time for @picket fence 's favourite player - "Spargypants" - to bob up and snag 2 or 3!

    The good news is that Kozzie could not have possibly played a worse career game than last week, so that can only be a positive in terms of our scoring avenues.

    I'm feeling good vibes about Kozzie tonight. Performs well against the Lions, in fact he's kicked more goals on them than any other team.

    Oh, you have NO IDEA how much I want this to happen!

     

    Going tonight with three lads,

    not normally super confident usually pessimistic but quite confident about tonight’s game    Not sure why but I think one goal or two a quarter better than them.

    hope so anyway.  Go Dees 

    will sit behind goals western stand end 

    Go Dees warm the night up

    Totally! I mean, it’s not like those security guards are gonna catch you.

    Incidentally, re the guy who did the bare-chested pitch invasion a few weeks ago, the media reported that he was caught and fined. Yeah nah, he was on a tram home before those guards even made it to the boundary fence. 😆

    Unless of course Jonny’s out in the middle…

    Really can't afford to have Geelong within two points or Bombers equal points as us. We play well at the MCG and the Lions don't. Bring it home and take another season scalp. I keep expecting Kozzie to kick a few and I'm convinced this is the night for it. Hopefully both he and Spargo. Trac is slotting them nicely and Jvr, Milk and Bbb are great set shots. We are all keen to see a fwd structure that kills it. This is the business end now. I want to smash this mob. Let's keep those rotations through the middle with Trac spending time up forward. Including Kozzie and Rivers...maybe even Salo.

    What a fail that was! +1 for security.

    Can we recruit him as I feel we didn't replace Hunt?

    This Bairstow character is getting a bit of airtime lately, maybe I should watch!

    Love how the [censored] has his arm in the air like he's winning.....your being carried off the ground like a rag doll at an international sports event fgs.

    I might add that I think that was Johnny's only catch for the series this far.

    Now is the time: mongrel, space, leading, absolute support for all, aggressive defence. Dees by 20 pts.

    Hope we get a decent crowd. Seems like more than a few dlanders are going. Been a while now since we've played at home too. Let's get comfy and win these next three games there.

    Looking at the fixture it's quite conceivable that Power finsh first. Technically we could finish third  as our run home is fairly soft.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Have to win CPs, stoppages and ground balls. Do that and I can't see us losing.

    Replacing a ruckman with a genuine forward changes the balance from last week. It will be very interesting to see whether this means Petracca spends more time midfield or whether we use the opportunity to keep him forward to see how well he melds with Brown, van Rooyen and the others.

    From the nominated emergencies, I'd be shocked if anyone other than Smith is the sub.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
