Just finishing off a little soiree at The Manor. Good night all round and enjoying lashings for desert.

After a quick kip, your good old Uncle Bitter will be up and about to watch the Dees clean up the Doggies.

The highlight for me today will be, Kozzie's return, Clarrie's improvement from last week's run and Max bouncing back.

I'm also keen for Hore to go well - as I thought he was stiff when de listed.

The Dogs are no mugs and if the Dees are a bit off it could be dangerous 

DEES by 27 points.

Need the win. 0-2 start not ideal.

The doggies, however, are our bunnies. We'll be much better today and will win this one.

Max, Clarry, Trac and Fritschy to the fore.

Forecast to be a beautiful day. Looking forward to getting along to the G with my boy to cheer on the red and blue.

Go Dees

Today we’ll find out if we’re a challenger this year. Dry weather football at the G. No weather excuses, and barring some unforeseen injury crisis, we’ll get a proper look.

Well here we all are again.

Laughter or tears.

Praise or criticism.

I'm not very confident but I'm glad footy is back.

As Uncle Bitters mentioned, good to see Kozzie back.

Us by elevensees.

( Maybe).

We have a car load coming to the game today, I am really looking forward to being back at the G surrounded by familiar faces and watching our regulars and newbies have a great game. Really interested in seeing how our boys respond to our off season issues. Dees by 30 in a hard fought tussle. Bring it on Dees.!!!

Today it’s all about Gussy.

No one deserves a celebration of their incredible career more than our Gus.

We have Gussy helmets for sale ($20) at the back of Bay M3 from 11:45am ‘til 20 mins before the first bounce. Not many left but we’re hoping to sell them all as the entire proceeds will go to the Danny Frawley Foundation, very close to Gussy’s heart.

❤️💙

Aside from wanting the win keen to see how we play in what looks to be perfect conditions. Reading the Casey match day thread and looking at today’s team we really don’t have much depth if any. We need a dream run with injuries this year. The Swans and Giants have shown the competition what’s required, what have we got?

I thought it would be the Cross Cup after Daniel.  
 

We have the perfect trophy collecting dust.

Really need Ben brown to have a good game because Petty is no where near ready. Worries me if he kicks 0 this week and doesn’t even look half decent 

Kicking 0 but competing and not letting his opponent take an intercept mark is a pass for me. Bring it to ground and let Kozi, Fritta, Tracc and the gang get to work. It's a week to week proposition, as we see how his body holds up to the rigours of the game in 2024

Yep, needs to lead away from Fritta and JvR and take a key defender with him

Couple of marks and a goal or two is a big win

Yes, just worried about being to tall, and no cohesion with 5 ins...

Also our talls are nowhere near as mobile as theres

We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement

My red & blue heart ALWAYS says the Dees.  Not exactly sure what my head is telling me this morning, but I’ll attribute the lack of clarity to last night’s red wine and cognac.  Dees by 11 points!

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
