    Reckon we'll probably lose tonight and again next week off the five day break.

    Only reason I'm posting this is because I have a habit of always being wrong in my tips.

    Vintage Clarry tonight 

    Yeah he’s certainly a barometer. If he plays at his best and does the midfield heavy lifting, Trac becomes more of a forward threat and we invariably win.

    Not happy about the five day break.

    If you want to know how the game will go, i’ll fill you in:

    we will play tough strong footy. blood sweat and tears will slowly move the ball fwd through stoppages and eventually get a goal after 10 minutes of pressure

    Cats will then get a goal on the rebound in 15 seconds

    and repeat

    Yes, expect a Cats rebound score or two. We will need to be in front, score-wise, a ready; particularly, ready to rebound a few goals ourselves in response. Who is going to be our forward line surprise package, tonight?

    And unfortunately Rohan not the sub for them. Typical he picks tonight to return.

    Edit - the afl site changed the sub from a Clark to Rohan (unless my eyes were playing tricks on me!)

    I know it sounds slightly desperate, because it is. JVR in the warm ups was not clunking his marks (most likely never does).

    In order to win tonight, we need most of our players ‘on’.  We need our home crowd ‘on’ as well.

    Nerrrvous as hell, but GO DEES

    If any one gets a chance or wants to fill in time before games & this is probably more aimed at mcc members, you should visit the mcc museum down below. They've put in a really nice section on the Melbourne footy club, both men's and womens

    Little bit disappointed in Bill being the sub, thought he showed enough for a full game.

    Maybe Woey is in for tagging role?


    @WalkingCivilWar question for you as figured you'd know. Actually, two...  🙂

    1. Why is our banner always significantly larger than the opposition's, both width and height? Are our crew just significantly more talented than everyone else and go above an beyond the expected standard each week?

    2. Why is the banner no longer lifted, dropped, rotated, lifted, dropped...etc, so everyone around the ground can see what it says? Are we worried about a 2018 GF Filth banner type situation?

    Nothing wrong with a large erection.

    This game should be treated like a Final. Push them to the Limit Demons. 
    They are visiting sacred ground 

    Smash them at every opportunity 

    I HATE Jeeelong

    I think Rohan is more dangerous as the sub.

    Not a great turnout so far 


    Geelong by 13 points unfortunately. 
     

    They’re looking extremely slick and like they have too many players in awesome form compared to us. 
     

    Really really hope I’m wrong. Will be a cracking bloody game!

     

    Cmon Dees 😈

    If Jeeelong win by 13 points it certainly won’t be a cracking bloody game. 
    We need to turn it on…

    Nothing less

    I’m tipping us to dominate stoppages and apply huge forward half pressure and win easily.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
