Understand they’ve got a few important players out but their starting 18 still looks threatening, albeit dropping away in quality on the interchange.

Based on our last 5 weeks I see no reason for any confidence whatsoever. Just hope we turn up and silence their likely dominant crowd early on, and build into the game from there.

    Well the stats don’t lie. To me, there is an attitudinal issue at the club. Just not prepared to work to the level required. You could probably come up with a few reasons why that is, off field issues, staffing issues (coaching), fitness maybe. Other than Gawn, Petracca and McVee, the rest (first year players excluded) have gone backwards.

    No I don't think he did. You suggested a source very close to the players, and the best 'elaboration' you offered was the stats don't lie, and your opinion.

    I agree in that the stats don't lie, but this isn't elaborating on the issues that you claim are there and that you have inside information on.

    Can any gamblers offer insight why the Dees have come in so strongly in the last 12 hours? 
     

    Do the professional punters have some insider info or is it all sentiment? @binman

    I was elaborating (offering my opinion) on what Jaded No More said that we had bigger issues if it was the case that the players cracked the sads  because of the accom and facilities. I can assure you that this is what the source said. You can either believe it or not. I do.

    Your source is as dumb AF to offer that as an excuse. Sounds like the sort of mischievous rumour a pies supporter would start.

    Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

    Classic Demonland.

    It will be very interesting to see how the players approach this game from an attitude perspective. I know last week they weren’t happy about the standard of accommodation and ground facilities (maybe sending a message to the club?), and played accordingly. Unprofessional you could argue. Another mediocre performance today, and it will be time to change something.

    I heard they saw this article and responded to the club accordingly

    Continuing to come in. $1.75 now.

    My opinion, sentiment wouldn’t move the market that much. I did see we were as much as $2.05.

    Depends on the quality of information.

    Is it just me or is there a paucity of snow-related humour since the Coodabeens went the way of The Kevin Dennis Football show?

    General feeling is Demons will bounce back. 

    Also Pies missing 4 main fwds and 3 of their top 5 mids. who will score their goals?

    no insider info imo

    A pies supporter wouldn’t be that clever

    Even money odds the difference is only 3.5 points.  That difference does not in any shape or form look at 1.75. To 2.08. The sims do not work.  
    less than a goal. Yes it could be that close 

    but MFCSS. Says no

    • 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. 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. 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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max 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?
