The Demons face a fired up Richmond Tigers who are playing for a position in the Top 8 whilst we have another opportunity to consolidate our own position by retaining our 2 game buffer within the Top 4 and as a result of some favourable outcomes in other matches there is the possibility of us sneaking into third place on the ladder. Carpe Diem!

    Great wicket by Hazelwood just then…

    What a way to start off the game day thread with the Aussies up and about!

    For those of us that can, it is our duty to rock up to the G and loudly support our boys.

    We cannot allow Richmond to have the crowd become their ‘19th man’ on the ground.

    Poms have been giving us another lesson today though?? I need your optimism for both codes. We have a door open here & need to finally control a game - but will take Ashes 2-2 & todays game by a point please. 

    A slight worry is the late afternoon rain; otherwise I’d be confident we’ll beat Richmond by 5-15 points. Go Dees!

    From a new article: ”Statistics show Carlton are ranked 5th in the AFL for scores against per entry and 6th for inside 50s against. Remarkably, 15 of the last 18 premiership winners have ranked in the top six for both of those categories–and the only other club currently joining the Blues in the top six for both is Melbourne.”

    On Richmond, here is one of my good memories: One year, there was one game between Richmond and another team in MCG, the scores were tight. With only 5 minutes left and Richmond behind, forwarder Nathan Brown ran back to help their back line—how sweet he was. He managed to take a mark 50 meters out and swiftly kicked a beautiful long-distance goal. He raised his arms, beaming with a smile…  then he stopped: “How come no teammate is running towards me? How come they put their heads down? Holy sh*t, I kicked an own goal!”

    I love Tigerland, keep your good work, Tigers, you are the best!


    Will be watching live from the sunny Greek islands. We've got this.

    First time we’ve played Richmond in an away game that isn’t Anzac Eve since 2014. We won that 2014 game.

    2019

    We lost that game.

    Tiges are always difficult to beat so we'll need to be on our game to win.

    Perfect world (and in keeping with the perfect weekend so far) Petty will kick 5 goals.

    Our leaders Max, Trac and Viney will drive us on to victory.

    Dees by 20 points

    The stars are aligning, this is a real statement game. Cannot wait.

    Northern Wollongong.

    Go Dees.

    Not another close one please.

    We should do a game day thread from all the different places we are watching.

    Ps you win

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Get the job done today.

    If it's not pretty footy then I'm happy with that.

    We win today and we're pretty much level pegging with the Lions and Port for 2nd or 3rd spot.

    We lost that game.

    That 2019 was a home game (was thinking we never play Richmond in an away game that isn’t Anzac Eve) but goes to show we hardly ever play Richmond twice in a season because of Anzac eve, and very unusual to play them this late in the season.

    Hoping for a good professional win and Petty answers some questions up forward.

    Port have Geelong and Freo away and GWS at home and Tigers in the last round.

    Lions have Freo and Coll away and Adel at home and Saints in the last round.

    The first three for both are tough wins against teams that have either a reason to win or no reason to lose.

    We have Tigers, Carl, and Haw at the G NM in Tassie and then Syd in Syd in last round.

    Win today and you are ‘one more win heading home’ than these two away from 2nd…

    Does anybody know where the Dees supporters can sit today? I have a h&a membership and do you know if you can upgrade your tkt for the day?

    I'll try not to complain about Goody's selections again after the cricket selections in the Ashes this year.

    Go to Rich v Melbourne on Ticketek, select "Club Members and Public Reserve" and enter your barcode where indicated".

    Worked for me on Sunday I got a reserved ticket on level 1 on the wing. It may be too late now but worth a try. Heres the link: https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/Show.aspx?sh=RICHM2023

    My MFCSS is running rampant, especially given rain forecast.
    Please Dees, don’t join the crazy list of upsets this weekend. This is a golden opportunity ………. grasp it with both hands!

    The only upset I want is on the faces of the Toiges fans as we give them a belting…

    People are referring to the fact that the results in the games played so far in this round have been upset games but Richmond are on a bit of a run having won 6 out of their last 7 games which is a better run that we’ve had in that time. 

    So in reality, it’s us who have our backs against the wall and on that basis, I believe we’ll follow the trend of the round by upsetting the Tigers.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
