The death of musician/recording legend Steve Albini is all the loss I can take for one day. Therefore the Demons must win by 33 (& 1/3) points. 

Produced Fugazi among others.

He can't have been that old. That's a shock.

Legend is thrown around too easily in my humble, but there's debating his status as one of great producers, particularly in the rock space. 

Righteous fella too.

Vale Steve.

Yeah. Aged 61. Heart attack.

    Carlton I think are a very good team and much like us are very hard to beat. I expect it to be a very physical hard fought game and hope we get the win. 
     

    I also want to apologise to everyone on Demonland and the club. I was one of the people who had us missing finals in the pre season poll. The clubs performance last week and the way the season is going is full credit to the coaches and players. There is still a hell of a lot to play out this year but it’s very hard to see us missing finals from here. 

    I was wrong about us and I am very happy to be. Now let’s really turn up the heat on Carlton and get the win tonight.

    I was already emotionally dead after the Collingwood final, that this loss meant nothing to me. 

    After what happened against Collingwood the entire season was done and dusted as far as I was concerned. 

    That we lost the next final because we couldn't kick straight, and also had JVR suspended while Maynard went free, is something I totally blocked out.

     

    Don’t remind me. All I want is to jam Collingwood a new one on KB and then again in the finals. Personally I think that’s being very reasonable considering the circumstances. But first let’s just win tonight.

    Go Demons, unleash hell.

    Like many others suggested at the time, that qf was the grand final match and we came up short (for various reasons). I basically checked out after that, and watched the Carlton match on semi-delay-fast-forward. 

    No one think BB might play/

    Agreed. We're not winning if they're kicking plus 100.

    What percentage of teams win when the opposition kicks 100-plus?

    One of the good ones who fought for the little guys. A titan of, and for, the music industry. 

    Never liked being called a producer, because he saw his role as simply capturing bands in their authenticity (even if he subsequently trashed them later haha). And never took any royalties.

    Total legend, Vale indeed.

    Any budding meteorologists here know what tonight’s weather will be? Seems like a small chance of shower but I wonder if it’ll be dewy again?

    I went to the Carlton game and I was just numb. Considering the ramifications of the loss, I literally couldn’t care less. I was ready for 2023 to end the minute Maynard was free to play.

    Absolutely Roost it far.

    The big picture is smacking the pies and tearing them a new one come June. And then the grand final.....

    It's just a must do.

    So we need as much form and momentum as we can get. Gotta go in there tonight and take no prisoners.

    At the end of the day I forget. This whole season is about beating the filth and then facing them in a granny where one could argue that we want to see a few bumps back on the day and the pies beaten like never before.

    Then again I'm not much of a fan of Carlton so tonights win will be enjoyable too.

    I was completely the same. Albeit it's a long season, but for the most part I have far more confidence in our team this year as opposed to the previous two seasons. 

    I wouldn't go as far to say that I'm completely happy, but we're trending in the right direction and very impressed that we've gone down the path of bringing in some youth to the 23 each week.

    That jesse hogan's not much good in the first and last quarters is he 🤣

    Given Fritter owns Q4, I think the answer is to re(sign) Jesse, and maybe go for McKay for Q1 haha (DEFINITELY NOT CODY and Naughton, meh). 4 qtr team right there.

    Curnow will be dreading this game

    Who we got?  Melbourne?

    Oh no, Steven May haunts my dreams

     

    We owe them from last year. Lets hope it's not close like last year. 

    Hope we have a good win & lever, McDonald & may play like they did last week 

    McKay didn't play the last two times we've faced them.  In the 3 games prior to that, we haven't a match up for him he's kicked 9 goals, taken 10 contested marks and 12 marks inside 50s. And fwiw,  he towelled us up during the practice match earlier this year.  He's a very good player and the one we need to stop imo. TMac strengths matched up well to Cameron,  I'm not so sure for McKay, so hope he gets lots of help.

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
