It’s Game Day and the Demons have a massive opportunity to propel themselves into 2nd place on the ladder with a big win over the Kangaroos today. 

Apologies to @McQueen and anyone else who posted in the other GameDay Thread as I was trying to merge the thread I pressed the wrong button and deleted the other thread. Sorry 🤷‍♂️. It's my first day.

    Big day. Depending on results, we could push up to 2nd spot.  Absolutely must win and win by 40+.  

    3 tough weeks to come with resurgent Blues, emerging Hawks and Swans in Sydney.

    No - it won’t be as easy as last time. The mindset and makeup of both teams has changed over the past few months but we do know that the team can get the job done by applying itself in the same way it has done over the past month. A good win could well see us in second place on the ladder, with a top four place all but guaranteed, some challenging games to keep us focused ahead of the finals and some handy players to return to the side.

    What more could you want at this time of the year?

    The booth at the wharf no longer sell ferry tix to the game. Called up the operator and they didn’t know either! Said there’s supposed to be a couple of crossing before and after the game and it was free if you have a game day ticket. Couldn’t tell me any times though so none the wiser really. Will probably get a cab.

    Go dees, put the afl on notice. Send Clarkson off on stress leave again. Blow em out of the water with a 15 goal 1st Q.

    The back end of this season has become incredibly interesting.  results like the hawks and blues in the last few rounds make our run home a little harder than we perhaps might have thought - but that could be good for us.  RIchmond fell in a heap on Friday Night, so that may happen to the other cellar dwellers we now come up against.

    It all comes down to what we do.  Play our game and do the right things and we will build nicely into the finals.  

    I hate playing in Hobart, so many [censored] memories from recent years, when we would drop games we should have won.

    Not today,  I think we take them apart early and hold them off from there.  48 points to the good.  Go dees.

    Somebody said in the Pregame thread that the ferries would be leaving from 11.15 am, hope that helps! They also said it would be free if you had a ticket etc

    Weather forecast says no rain, top of 15 degrees (but will feel like 11 degrees).  Apparently a bit windy but then will ease off in the early afternoon... hopefully just right for us then!

    • Thanks 3

    Just read OP and now I understand !

     I shall repost ( rather than riposte ) my previous confidence.

    Just because there has been a number of very odd results recently - it means nothing to what the Dees will do today and we shall not suffer the fate of other recent favourites.

    The only matter that concerned me was the possibility of ****ty Taswegian weather evening things out somewhat  but @DeelightfulPlay 's post above has reassured me!

    I confidently predict a 60 point win.

    Clarko’s 400th game as coach, regardless we have chosen not to rest anyone . The players and coaching staff are fully aware of what’s at stake. Looking for a strong start, need to put them away early then completely run over the top of them. The Lions specialise in these types of games.

    This is becoming a danger game. Clarkson's comments this week about his team is something I have never heard him say before. We have to start fast and not give them any chance of a sniff.

    The talk about his team not being good enough etc very unlike Clarkson, `I've never heard him talk his team down like that.

    I hope after yesterday’s results, Goody has reminded the players you can’t take any opposition lightly. West Coast almost and then the Hawks. Blow them away early and put it to bed.

    Perhaps he is setting it up for a loss that North would benefit from far more than a win. 
    West Coast are closing in. They are unlikely to pick Reid so North can absolutely sweep on pick one. Not to mention cry to the AFL for more handouts. 
    Beat a top 4 side and suddenly it’s not all doom and gloom and Clarko can’t go asking for more.

    With heads in the right place from the get-go, we will win by 7+ goals.  Heads in the wrong place, then anything could happen in this crazy football season.

    At work until about 12 then heading to the game. Hopefully get a pint in at the Waterfront first (finding a parking spot pending) then Bay 20 in the Boon stand. Might try to sneak into the Ponting as they serve full strength beer in the upper level bars.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
