The Demons face an in-form Blues who have won their last seven games on the trot and have another Top 4 scalp in their crosshairs. A win for the Demons will consolidate their position in the Top 2 keeping the dream of a home final alive whilst a loss could see them back in 4th place. GameDayRd222023.png

 

My blue-bagger mates are very confident. I’m also noticing a few neutrals making the call that the Blues will be the come-out-of-nowhere premiers this year. 

We need to put a hush to this malarkey.

Charlie Curnow? More like Charlie Curnever!

This weekends Revised Rules

Beware of wonky ball bounces in the centre being called play on.

Marks have to be held for just that little bit longer. Might as well call everything play on.

Short kicks are to be paid.. Short kicks are to be called play on. That was the rule from being paid first half to being not paid second half. Go figure.


8 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

are they really saying 70k?

Showing the Tillies on the big screens might boost numbers. 

We’ll beat Carlton. 

We’ll apply even more pressure on Carlton than we did on Collinwood in Rd13.  

ANB is on the rise… It looks like he’s in great shape and has a lot of energy. He might have an opportunity to shine in this year's final series.

Go Dees!

A win by any amount is good, 30 plus would be great, and no injuries!

Hoping to see Grundy play well, kick a goal and be a great support to Max.

I compare the teams and feel we should have the covered in the middle, down back and forward! Curnow, Weitering and Cripps are guns, but they are missing a few and we should bat deeper.

Go Demons!!

 

Blues are playing well and are full of confidence. They'll have a crack at us for sure.

But there's no MFCSS here. We'll building towards September with the bit between our teeth. We'll get the job done.

Delighted to have Clarry back in the team.

Would love to see Gawndy contribute 3-4 goals.

20-point win for us in a hard-fought affair in front of a big crowd

Go Dees

Watched most of the Cats and Pies game with the volume off last night. Dropping the ball and throws are pretty much legal tender in this game now.

You can drop it, but try to get a toe to it and miss when being tackled and you're pinged. 

AFL is a strange game at times.

Hope we stamp our authority on the competition tonight. I want to be at the G watching us pound the pies into oblivion late September. I want to see us win a flag in the flesh.

Go Matilda's, Go Dees

 


Ten minutes into the last - Judd McVee channels his inner Mary Fowler and hits a running Petracca on the chest, with a perfectly weighted, long pass who then kicks truly from 50. We go 30 points up and extend our 8 game winning streak over Carlton. 

I’d prefer if McKay was playing. 
This would create more predictability for our gun talls to defend. 
 

Their smalls have me a little concerned, but, we could just as easily win this by 40 points.

I think we have set ourselves for this one.  It is the start of our ‘23 tilt.  Listening to Goodys presser, he sounds like he wants the finals like pressure to really get our campaign underway.  Including the Ginger Ninja and Big Reg shows we are wanting to get things in order for the finals.

Blues are up and about but are ripe for the taking tonight.  We bring the heat and control the territory game and I think we win.  If they go with us, 20 point win.  If they fall away - 50 point win.

Dees by 30, to establish themselves as the ‘real  deal’ for anyone who currently doubts their credentials.  September is coming, and so are the Dees!

What a great place to be from 5pm. You get to go to G, have a chat with mates, go to the Robbie Flower Terrace and have a drink and watch the Matildas and get inspired and then watch some footy with the greatest player I have seen back from injury. 

Times like this I hate being 700kms away from the best city on the planet.


Taking my 71 year old Mum from Perth to the game tonight.

Hard not to think she’ll bring us good luck.

Last time she saw the Dees play was the 2021 Grand Final at Optus Stadium.

Ditto in Wollongong. Us in another close one but oh the joy on ending Carlton's winning streak.

Edited by leave it to deever

How will the midfield line up? Ollie on the ball or JV

Petracca forward

Grundy forward and running contest to contest

Who's on Curnover

Edited by Kent

I hope the Melbourne faithful turn out for this one. Carlton supporters will be flocking in and I just hope our supporters show up as well. Should be a cracking game.

I wonder how fit Clarry will be. I hope he's cherry ripe and racks up his usual forty so Trac can play forward.


Time for the Dees to serve up a Lasagna Petracca with an Oliver on top for 70K tonight !

We will get the job done over these pretenders. Any talk about a Blues Flag will be sent down the Rivers...

We May have a slow start but will pull the Lever after HT and Van Ruin the Blues day !

Half way through the last, their fans will be Gawn.

Dees by 23

Seriously?

You would go to a footy match you weren’t going to, because the Matilda’s are on the  big screen, when they are on free to air TV. 

Don’t think so.

If you're on the fence, GET THERE TONIGHT! We need to be loud and proud, Carlton fans will be! 

The premiership run needs to start rolling now and not look back! Let's show everyone what we've got.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?
