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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
