It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    Very worried about this, North are in good form. I think they can knock us off if big Larkey is in form.

    they've been playing some decent footy for several weeks

    WE’VE GOT THIS!!!

    Hopefully we get a decent crowd tonight and the boys know we’re there. It means a lot to them when they can hear us, and who knows… it may just be the difference between winning and losing 🤷‍♀️ 

    Was gonna say Dees by a Pup (41pts) but even I’m not that delusional so I’ll go Dees by a Knuckles - 4pts, since he last wore #41 ❤️💙

    Maybe it's time Brimbank Council adopt the same rules that Greece has. Passport and bag check at all entry points. Problem solved.

    BTW been to Greece a dozen times. Never scared. Never been to St Albans. Thanks for the heads up.

    Norths youngsters will be no pushovers. 

    we've been playing like a bunch of strangers recently. hoping to see some rhythm and connection in our game.

    not overly confident but if we play like we can and should we'll win.

    Dees by 20 points

    Awesome - I’ll take a win and some heart palpitations along the way.

    That would be the third time we’ve beaten North by 4 points this century for the footy nerds playing at home.

    I can’t help but feel North’s midfield torch ours. They are better on paper, better on form and have a lot of confidence after significant improvement of late. How we cope over the rest of the ground will be the key

    I think North get this done in a tight one and they cement their upwards trajectory from here.

    All I can hope for is JVR having a big game

    We need to be brutal at the contest today. Enough is enough. 

    Agreed.

    Carltons pressure was at a season high 200 last night.

    Our’s was a season low of 162 last week vs the Pies, despite getting humiliated the week before vs Freo.

    Spot the team that wants success more this year. We either can’t or won’t apply the minimum standard of pressure of late.

    North will make some hideous mistakes tonight which we need to punish on the turnover. However if their pressure far exceeds ours, they’ll beat us tonight. We can’t handle pressure.

    I’m thinking you are a ‘glass half full’ kinda guy bub. You certainly have resurfaced and come out strong in recent times.

    I'll give you an insight as to how i think.

    Firstly... the glass half full, half empty correlation I all but dismiss as I don't agree to the merit of those relative outlooks.

    Im actually more inclined to favour my Engineering and suggest that that Glass is not fit for purpose as is obviously the wrong size...and it always seems to be  ;)

    Speaking of not fit for purpose.... we have the MFC .   I don't like that it is this way. 

    We're currently playing like a committee designed horse ;)

    Will be very interested to to how we go about the game today. Personally the bookies have it arsecabout ... imho.

    But... Go Dees

    Just try and get going.

    So you are always 😢 spilling your milk? 
     

    I agree, it’s not a good fit, get a new glass 😳😂😜🤓. 
     

    I woke up confident for a win tonight, but I am losing my confidence coming on here and reading other posts. The nerves are starting to kick in already

    Game day baby. Pumped (not really)

    No Trac, no problem. Back on the winners list today and a return to form for Petts (will bounce back with at least 4 goals).

    Go Dees. See you tonight at the G

    You forgot to note 'back in the 8' with a win!  Then its a finals spot to lose.

    • 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?
