The Demons' outcome of a smashing victory will depend heavily on the small brigade running Port ragged.  

Yep. Port will be quick no doubt, but reckon they kamikaze run leading to fatigue later in games. If we’re smart, our smalls (particularly forwards) will be able to hurt them on the transition.

Also need to watch out for Marshall, he usually reserves some of his best games for us.

I'll be watching the match at the Sporting Globe (Richmond version). Any other Demonlanders going there?

PS. I'll be easy to identify ... an old man with a Demons scarf.

Are you my father?

    I believe he’s retired 😭

    Which part?

     

    I really want Petty playing forward but I'll understand if he doesn't.

    The fact that Hore is in bodes well for it to happen.

    Those two early marks he took last week reminded me of how much of a good fwd target he is.

    Bbb,Petty and Jvr will be tough to counter.

    Might be the afternoon of slugging ice cold beers but I reckon we’ll make a serious statement tonight. 
     

    Dee’s by plenty 


    Disaster ... the Sporting Globe (Richmond) is closed for renos.

    Can someone else suggest another suitable inner city pub at which to watch the match?

    walk down to the London or the Corner?

    To be honest I won't be surprised either way tonight. 

    But I hope we win to start off our Adelaide trip well & win for Jack

    Beg to differ on May’s performance/presence in the 2021 Grand Final. Definitely not a cardboard cutout, gave his fellow defenders and teammates a great deal of confidence. Had ‘Astroboy’ and his teammates totally bluffed. He was still standing 24 hours after the final siren.

    Agree.  Blanketed Naughton, as he has done countless times.  Dogs goals came from bontempelli and unlikely sources like Treloar and Johanissen, talls couldn't get a snifter...

    Hey Bingers! Can you make your way to South Melb? 50 Tope Street. Neita’s brand spanking new pub called Brewmanity. Neita’s gonna be there, as well as Robbo and Brad Green and members of the DA who aren’t here in Adel.

    Then let me know what it’s like coz I’ll be going there to watch Thursday’s match. 👌🏽

    Definitely, the umps .... 


    Should we adjust expectations for this game?

    Port are a good side and a tough ask at home.

    I believe we are good enough but it's going to be difficult.

    Will need our best from our mids and some luck re no injuries.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
