Kozzieland in the Alice, let's unleash the Demon within.

Carn you Dees!

💯❤️💙🫶🏆🥇🎯🎟🧿💰


Game starts at the ungodly hour of 5am my time so I will most likely be watching later at breakfast and coffee. People coming for lunch so I will celebrate/drown sorrows with some excellent wine and food. 
 

Dees to win in AFS by 5 goals and move into 3rd on the ladder.

    I took a leisurely drive to the game in Alice last year. What a shock and [censored] show that turned out to be!

    This year, I am firmly ensconced at The Manor for what I expect to be a tough and close struggle.

    Max will simply have to be more superhuman than ever as he is facing a two on one against a couple of serious players. As a team, a slow start must be avoided and we will need to take all our chances inside 50.  Fritta is always reliable but we will need contributions from McAdam and Petty.

    Our defence will be the difference.

    Dees by 13 points.

    Not certain, but I think this is one ground where we kick particularly poorly for goal.

     

    Just back from France and Portugal. Jet lag had me up at 3am. I’ve had breakfast and read the news, but the game is still 8 hours away. Go Demons.

    We are actually ok at kicking for goal at Traeger Park, this is without OOF and no score shots.

    Last year was a shocker, but the conditions were putrid.

    In 9 games we are 106.95 since 2014.

    Under Goody total is 77.64

    2017 - 18.14 v Suns (W)

    2018 - 23.8 v Crows (W)

    2019 - 11.12 v Eagles (L)

    2020 - 8.4 v Saints (W)

    2022- 12.11 v Port (W)

    2023 - 5.15 v Giants (L)

    Well I got that wrong.

    Must have been swayed by last year.

    Game could go either way. Very similar for points for and against. One of the teams most similar to us in strengths and weaknesses, will mostly be up to our personnel to get it done. Need to curtail the likes of Young, Serong and Frederick.

    I'm currently in the latter. 4am start. 

    Feels like a home-game though, as I've spent a bit of time living in Darwin in recent years. Shame AMW didn't get a call-up, just a 15 hour drive for his kin.

    Chandler noted the sun was beating down at 18C in Alice yesterday, hopefully it's not too slippery. 

    Perfect conditions for footy and a typical Alice winter day, glorious sunshine, dry and a cool light breeze. The ground is looking good despite the rain earlier in the week. I’m not confident but I never am. MFCSS is real 😬🔴🔵🏆

    I’ll take the 23.8. Actually 8.4 likely gets it done against Freo. Don’t care what it looks like we just need to get it done today.

    it'll be a tough contested game. Freo no world beaters but they'll put up a fight. They remind me of us in a lot of ways. Plenty of heart and endeavour but not the most skilled.

    Max has a busy day ahead dealing with Darcy and Jackson. He'll earn his pay check today. 

    Amiss is a very good forward but has a bad case of the yips at the moment. hopefully he doesn't rediscover his mojo against us. if he does we could be in trouble.

    I think this is Kossies stage. He'll put on a show and get us over the line.

    Fremantle’s best is very good, hope our pressure is up from the very start.

    I reckon supporters of both sides will be wondering which version of their own team will turn up today. Or not turn up.

    I think the hurricane last year didn’t help 😂

    50-50 game really however with the competition so close, we really need to win today and next week to have a  real solid shot at top 4.

    Now go out there and do what you did in this game in 2022… kick a lazy half dozen and whip the local kids into unbridled frenzy.

    Dees by 16, midfield and ruck battle will be immense. Our class in the forward line will take us over the line. They simply don't have the same fire power we do, if we get supply we should win.

    Game day baby. Pumped! 
     

    Go Dees. Need this win.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
