I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting.

I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points.

Hope you werent wearing the budgie smugglers

    Even with 20/75 vision the dog could see THE BALL WASN’T TOUCHED!

    Need to move on.

    Though, given what happened to Adelaide yesterday and us, they need much better Tech, that can overrule umps.

    Kev, I still have dreams that Simon Eishold kicks his goal in the 1987 Prelim.

    Moving on isn’t my specialty.

    Did Simon ever play again ,my memory is a little cloudy these days

     

    Hawks will come out hard. We just have to "cope" for 2 1/2 quartrs then put the foot down. 

    MFCSS is through the roof.

    I'm so traumatised by the their last goal, I cannot remember Simons shot on goal. Did it go through and not given?

    Anything less than a forty point win will not suffice.

    Big day for Max. Boys need to get it done.

    Plus with a few teams going into finals with a lot of wins behind them, we need some form as well.

    Hopefully Smith and Jvr work well together.

    Playing the old enemy again. Don't even like calling their name, use the Potter, "they, that should not be named"

    Get it done Dees.

    He was 11 metres out on a 30 degree angle. Absolute shank.

    The Hawks can have their moments (and have had them in recent weeks). They can also dip and put in poor performances (that is why they are 16th). Expecting a solid Dees win.

    If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. 
    Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks!

    Has junior footy finished as well? From memory it normally ends late August.

    i’m looking forward to the second half 

    i’m not looking forward to the first half. tight scrappy low scoring anxiety inducing 

    FYI Fritsch is doing drills at Goschs paddock as we speak. In some agility drills he looks to be moving with no issues at all.

    This is what I’m hoping for. For every 1-2 good wins, they put in a shocker.

    After the game Northey walked to that goal square to see if that surface was substandard.

    Feeling a bit ill today but last home game of the season will do my darndest to get there and distance appropriately.

    There in 2 

    The way to deal with a young team like this is to hit them harder around the contest than they have been getting hit recently. Second last round I reckon they could put the queue in the rack if we make it very uncomfortable for them from the jump.

    If we let them play the way they're wanting to play this could go very badly for us.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
