GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

A win gets us a game clear in the top 4, takes a big scalp, and hopefully gives us good confidence for next week and a tricky month ahead. 

A loss sees us slip behind the top sides, will have Demonland baying for blood, and will be extra frustrating given it’s Geelong. 

A loss in a close game wouldn’t bother me too much. 

Cats are humming, but we still need a few things to click into place. And if I’m being realistic, I’m not expecting those clicks to all happen this evening.

Do people who make these super optimistic predictions ever get them right?

Vintage Clarry tonight 

Love the idea of it, but it’s not exactly tracking in that direction.

Dangerfield being out gives Melbourne a real chance tonight. Carn the Dees!

Bummer about last night, No. 31. 
I’ve spent half my waking hours since last night’s result consoling my fam and friends. They’re like you… genuinely wanna see us do well.

I hear your WCW.

My contempt for the team in white and black is in the stratosphere! I can spare some positivity to other teams I generally don't like.😅

tell ya what an insipid performance like last week will see us getting torn a new one , need to be intense right from the start 

Ill advised as this comment may be, I'll go with it anyway....  😱

I saw a stat a few days back that said that of the games we have lost since early 2020, only two games have been by more than 25 points.

So basically, even if we are playing average (and there definitely has been periods of that particularly mid-year), we dont often get flogged, we are invariably always in the contest and just a quick burst of good footy away from being right back in it and/or taking the game away from the opposition.

Have faith 😎

 Come on OD a bit of confidence.

Get your man Vander to fire up. 3 goals tonight is the minimum. Holding a few marks might help as well.

It is such a great feeling now, going to any game knowing we have a good chance of winning. The Premiership in 2021 changed everything - I am generally much more relaxed about footy in general. 

I can't see the Cats attack being as potent as it has the last 7 rounds. Our defensive organisation rarely allows teams more than 80 points, often under 65. 

Sparrow to run with Myers.

Petty to run with Stewart.

Kozzie, Chandler & Fritsch will be our major goal scorers.

 

It’s time for our Midfield to turn it on. 
no excuses, no more learnings. 
Turn it on, work together

We are driving in in 30 minutes time, first time I have felt nervous all week, mind I have steered clear of the Game Day thread until now. Think this one is going to be super tough, hoping for a comfortable 17 point win but 1 point will do the trick. Go Dees.!!!!

Rather confident we get this done. Around 16 points.

HUUUGE night for a certain 17yo girl who’ll be sitting in the cheer squad in between Pauline Fritsch and me at tonight’s game.

Jade has cerebral palsy, she communicates by typing on her iPad, has a feeding tube, walks in a slow, laboured way, and is a massive Dees fan, absolutely adores 31, as she refers to him. We’ve taken her to AFLW matches without incident but until now we weren’t sure if she was ready for a men’s match. Pauline and I have been planning for the perfect opportunity since early last year and tonight’s the night!

She doesn’t know she’s going. We’re not telling her until just before the match. She will absolutely lose her mind! 🥰

So if you see a diminutive girl with an away jumper with 31 on the back in the cheer squad… that’s Jade. ❤️💙

PS: Jade was told she needed braces. She got them last week and what colour braces did she choose? Red and blue (of course)!

Heart warming story WCW.  C’mon Dees, a few more ‘one percenters’ (in honour of Jade), will get us over the line tonight.  ❤️💙

Hope we win. Fore the sake of my enjoyment tonight hope they’ve set themselves for this game and they are a bit fresh. Presume they were not last game knowing they would get the win against a weak side. Over the marathon season in the end it won’t matter any more than other games.

 

we will look clunky at times as we put more energy into defensive set up than offensive. We will turn it over exhausted from this process but we won’t (hopefully) let the cats score any where as easily as the blues did. A goal saved is worth just as much as a goal scored.

at times media and us get carried away with teams moving the ball accurately and kicking goals with grace like Essendon blues but we not leaking 100 points line those teams do in the same match. We are the only team to twice this year double there opponents score not that the media say that . 
 

grind them down dress kill ‘em in red time. Get the win and make my night!!!

Think I might even wear my Navy Blue Demons polo top when watching the game on tv tonight.

(*does NOT include Geelong or Adelaide ... i really loathe the Adelaide Crows and am ambivalent about Geelong the team despite liking Geelong the city) 😁

Officially going to be pancakes for dinner.

Based on the theory that there is a finite amount of laziness in the world, I'm generously donating my personal allocation of diligence and motivation to Jacob Van Rooyen, to ensure his up the ground and back again and turning up everywhere to make life miserable for Tom Stewart.

Anyway, I dislike Geelong. You kind of have to respect them, but I can't see any argument for liking them.

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season.
