Umpire News:

The umpires for this evening are,

21 Simon Meredith

22 Nathan Williamson

27 Andre Gianfagna

32 Jacob Mollison

These umpires did not officiate in either of the Melbourne v Carlton games in 2023

Three of them (21, 22, 27) officiated in our round 24 match against Sydney. The free kick tally in that game was Demons 18, Sydney 10.

Carlton have had Meredith 4 times in 2023, Williamson 4 times, Mollison 4 times and Gianfagna once.

We have had Meredith 3 times, Williamson 5 times, Mollison 3 times and Gianfagna 5 times.

Only bad omen I can see is that we had Meredith and Williamson against Essendon, but still managed to get 23 frees to 19.

I only ask for two things from our games: a fair run with the umpires , and the team to have an honest crack, don’t play dumb and kick straight (ok, 4)

If we still lose with all that, then fair enough. 
 

oh, one last thing - I hope we don’t have feral sniper thugs take our players out. I always wish that.

    Dees at the 'G are living proof there is no such thing as home ground advantage. We have won 11 from 15 at the 'G this year (not all home" games, obviously) so hardly a fortress. And, as for finals at the 'G, we've had nothing since 2018 (mainly due to Covid in 2021, admittedly).  Is playing at the 'G against co-tenants different to playing a proper away team? Do we have a home ground advantage against co-tenant Carlton tonight? Even if it is our "home" game, the Carlton crowd is likely to be louder. Where is the advantage?   

    Yes, we should have gotten 75% of the tickets

    Sorting my timber stack, very similar to moving deck chairs on the titanic. Put timber there……back to here next month…….and so it goes. We shouldn’t have had to play tonight. 

    Ok. That is a reminder.  Order some fire wood 4 next winter.    Have not had the fire on for 3 weeks  pretty soon we will be opening all windows to get a breeze. 
    8 cu metres please

    Kozzy actually had a better game last week than I thought he did. Was in everything in the second quarter and could’ve had 2 goals on the board that quarter had Fritsch actually applied a shepherd on the goal line to prevent Murphy from touching it.

    Wonder if he has a 3-4 goal performance because you’ll know he’ll probably have 3-4 shots at goal.

    Salem is grossly out of form and may be paying the price for his interrupted pre season and knee injury in the early rounds.

    I was bemoaning the absence of our small forwards at the end of the first quarter last week, but Kozzie was one of the first players to step up in the second quarter. I hope he has a big one and gets more reward on the score board 👍

    I would love to see Tom McDonald lead up more tonight and contribute a bit more 

    Think he needs to. I don't think we can carry him with just 0-1 goals.

    Anything good happen for anyone so far today?

    Just at the dentist with a tooth ache on a tooth that just had a root canal filling. Surly the day is going to get better.

    If they bomb it in we lose!

    Need to play trac fwd! 

    The Grundy situation is embarrassing and feel for him, should be playing or what was the point and will go down as the most botched up trade ever. Club has gotten most trades right and can’t question the talent from late picks but this one will hurt & tarnish a few as it’s backfired

    I’ve done way more work today than I did last Thursday in the lead up to the game. I call that a win. 

    Me too Jaded, was actually my most productive day of the week. 

    Human psychology is a funny thing isn't it.


    Me and the Fam heading to the G shortly in good form with the Prelim and GF wins at Subiaco our most recent Finals 👍

    Thinking the loss of Gus early unsettled us last week, expecting our defensive pressure to be dialled up considerably this week and will be too much for the Blues over 4 qtrs.

    Go Dees

    I think there should be a 20% productivity rule on days your team is playing in a final.

    Mind you, I'd still probably fail but it's a low bar to aim for!

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
