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. 
 


 

 

 

Got the nervous nellies.  Not confident.

Strap yourself in Dees fans for 2 weeks of the most biased umpiring against us. 

 

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

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!!!

 

 

 


Get to the game tonight Dees fans. No excuses. See you all at the G.

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) 😁

Unfortunately I've come down with a virus since returning from Bali!

So devo I can't go tonight, I was super pumped for this game!

Will be watching on the couch though and hope our supporters get loud!

Beat the Cats and we’re likely in 3rd spot..! 
 

so pumped!

Wow what a great thing to do for someone you and Pauline are very special people.I hope Jade has a very special night Go number 31 and the dees

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
