Blue sky outlook 

Round one 2024 

7. The voltaren worked for Tmcd and BBB. Both contributed today. Not great but not carried by any means. They can come back next week. 

Dencorub! (yes i've tried both and i'm an old bugger with a creaky BB knee)

    Hats off to TMac and BBB, they really showed something. I wonder what the staff see in TMac over Tomlinson, similar output I would of thought.

    We don’t have exact $ figures yet but we sold every last Gussy helmet, with every dollar going to the Danny Frawley Centre. One awesome couple bought 30 helmets ($600) but didn’t collect them, instead telling us to sell them again. Another generous person bought 10 but only collected one and asked that the others be given to folks in our bay who for whatever reason didn’t have one. Then there was some who paid more than the set price. Demons supporters are amazing ❤️💙

    Danielle Frawley was very grateful…

    I rewatched the game last night and TMac's performance was absolutely sublime. He's far ahead of Tomlinson imo.

    Helmets were a great idea

    The tv coverage however failed ed to show them I guess its too controversial

    Having Gus on the bench as the conduit between coaches and players on match days will be a big boon for our playing group - Starting tomorrow.❤️💙💕

    Definitely!

    He'll need to tag team carefully with Choco, though, I think?

    Another good news week possibility. Pies are facing the prospect of going 0-3. Saints are no walkovers and coming off a loss, will want to make up for it. Expect another solid hit-out and the real possibility of a 'premiership hangover' media narrative developing over the Pies.

    But they loved the “blues bros” - couldn’t get enough of that tripe 

    You hit the nail on the head the AFL and 7 would rather push that whole Maynard fiasco under the carpet 

    I hope he cops it in every game he plays and I would love JV to run straight through him (legally of course) when he fronts up to us next time

    This is what I suspect, too. The helmets are a reminder of the AFL  at the tribunal in their attempt to appear as though they were serious about head trauma, only to dish up a half-arsed performance coz Collingwood. That’s how I see it.

    I watched the replay yesterday and was disappointed to see that after only one of *our goals they showed the cheer squad as opposed to after almost every goal in other matches, and even then because of all the flags and giant heads waving, the helmets weren’t visible. It’s a shame because we may well have raised more $ for the Danny Frawley Centre had we been given exposure.

    * The WB cheer squad were shown after three of their goals which is also less than usual. I guess the idea was to even things up. 🤷‍♀️

    They did look awesome, but happy that we only have to see them when Carlton play in Brisbane. What sch!tts me no end is that they were QLD-based Carlton members wearing matching ($165) outfits just for the spectacle of it. Our display was to raise $ and awareness for a very important cause, yet the cameras lapped them up and ignored us.

    Keep selling them before games at the MCG. Eventually they’ll be enough of them they can’t be avoided

    This is my granddaughter’s first AFL season!  My daughter first broke the “ I’m pregnant” news by showing me the demons onesie size 0.  She now also has the little the demons jumper my mum knitted for her (my daughter), which has been waiting patiently worn by a teddy for 28 years.   

    now that is good news congrats Krytie

    Thanks WCW we are involved with a corrupt organization in my view The commentators made no mention of the helmets I'm guessing  they need their jobs

    Got good attention in the Coach's presser at least.

    We’re getting heaps of requests for them. So that may happen.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
