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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
