*What you mean β€˜we’ kemo sabe?

Some of us are brimming with confidence. Delusional? Probably. But at the first bounce it’s a clean slate for both sides. Either side can win. Trust that we will win.

But I thought you always bet on the opposition?

This feels like kind of a watershed game for us. Win and we maintain our top four contention. Lose and we are looking at deep poo.

I do. But that has no bearing on who I think will win. I do it to soften a loss even though I go into every week expecting a win. It’s the cushion effect. πŸ‘πŸ½

I reckon you’d be better betting on us when we are underdogs, smarter strategy

If the Saints are less than six goals up by the time we wake up half way through the second I'm confident we'll run them down.Β

No, not someone.

Thousands of people, including professional punters risking serious coin, have backed us to win, which explains why we are 1.33 to win.Β 

Of course that doesn't mean we will - you only have to go to one harness meeting to understand 1.33 favourites can get rolled.

But the thing I like about the betting market is we punters do our best to strip out emotion and be as objective as possible.

After all it's cold hard cash on the line not a throw away prediction or a lead tipping comps.

(And even if there are some emotion driven punters adding a drip to the pool, a big chunk of them are probably woe us us dees fans backing the saints)

Which is why the betting market is by far the best predictor of the probable outcome of any given match.

Betting on the favourites is a sure way to end up bust too!

Sunny day. Football at the MCG. Demons have a good chance of a win.

Perfect recipe for Demonland despair!

It’s not about money though. Yes there’s money involved but a Demons win with winnings is exactly the same as a Demons win without winnings, to me anyways. Besides, if it hasn’t been proved already, this season proves that the whole underdog thing means nothing.Β

Either our mids are not following the game plan or our mids coach Mcqualter has no idea

I always look at quotes to reactions ratio to gauge a posters propensity to put forward outlandish statements… whilst you are entitled to your opinion, the ratio stacks up well.

Oh, and Membrey and Stewart Lowe to kick 10 each…

What are the chances we come out breathing fire?

First quarters are our worst. 88% percentage

Come on guys and gals… the sun is shining, our boys are pumped and ready to rock, and they need us to show β€˜em some love and support.

Reawaken your inner 10yo! (Personally mine never slept, still never does😝). Even if you think your inner 10yo is pretty much comatose, rouse that lil kid and muster some hope and enthusiasm!!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Yeah I know but at least if we’re not expected to win and we do you get double enjoyment!

St Kilda by 10. As usual, we will be goals down at quarter time, then playing catch up for the rest of the game. Too many players either not up to it or out of form, or both. Sadly, Essendon, GWS, Fremantle have gone ahead of us. Sydney, Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane were ahead of us anyway, and Port Adelaide too due to their massive home ground advantage. Like Geelong, I think our window has closed. Our midfield stinks at the moment, without Lever and reliant on TMac and Tomlinson our backline is shaky at best. Petty is non invested, JVR needs to kick goals, it is what he is in the team for. Thank god for Bayley, will probably end up with 50 plus for the year. Oliver not fit, Viney getting to that stage where the decline starts, Tracc can’t be everywhere. Windsor a positive, probably needs to consider his options come 2026. Would be an absolute gun in a top team. McVee is class. Not much else really.

Posters are allowed to have an opinion and you can’t blame them if they’re pessimistic given our recent form.

im not confident but hoping for the win. Will continue to support the boys irrespective of the result.

After last week, anything can happen ……….. even miracles!

This is my concern.

Something NQR at the moment, like its all just a bit of a chore...

Think we will get done. Last week we looked like a tired side unable to have a go at arresting a deficit against ordinary opposition. The hunger does not seem to be there.

Hope I am wrong.

Need a massive improvement from last week and some of our "2nd tier" players to step up.

We should control the midfield but conversion will be the worry.

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark.Β The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss.Β The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.Β

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    β€œMax Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
