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.

Following (a tad less keenly than previous years) from Schinoussa in the Greek Cyclades.

In truth, just braggin'.

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

Following (as psychotically as usual) from St Albans aka the Stabbing Capital of Victoria

Also just braggin’

😁 

Our season is done so in a way what do we have to lose?

go out and give it a crack Demons!

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

SN34 

This is a fight for our lives.  
Treat it that way and we win. If we don’t, we won’t!

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
