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…

We’re on here!

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.

    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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
