    Put on my Demons scarf around midday and hopped on the train to Jolimont. 
     

    Big thanks to the people on the carriage who told me the game is tomorrow.

    Haha! Look that’s a valid question, but no I’m a guitar/keys player who’s really letting my crew down today. 

    Gallows humour incoming: I spent a good chunk of my week at my Mum’s new aged care place helping her settle in. I texted my (football-averse) wife on my way back from “the game” today asking “Is Alzheimers contagious?” She replied “No babe, you’ve just got Dee-mentia”

    Maybe it's just me but I have a feeling we'll win by 10+ goals tomorrow.

    Fingers and toes crossed Praha but feeling quietly confident there are 6-7 of us travelling in tomorrow. It will be a quiet trip home if we lose to the 2nd bottom side again.

    I've no doubt we'll win well tomorrow. I think we're going better than many realise. That could just be me looking at the ladder and seeing us in 8 point games almost all the way home. The teams 3-11 are not better than us.

    Based on the vision I saw (didn’t participate at all in training) I reckon he’ll be a late out.

    I’m going again tomorrow with daughter #1. She has a 100% winning record. Surely she can maintain that against a team that has lost their last five games. 🫣

    I’m a couple of days behind in my reading (busy laying in sunny Sorrento 🇮🇹). Could someone please tell me, should we win, both best and likely ladder position post the weekend?

    Best case scenario is we win by heaps, GWS and Brisbane lose, and we finish the round 7th (requires us to increase our percentage by 4.7% to pass Collingwood - requires roughly a 10 goal win I believe).

    If Brisbane wins we can’t finish higher than 8th. If GWS also wins (they currently lead Carlton), we’d near certainly not catch them on percentage and would finish 9th or 10th depending on percentage.

    (If anyone’s wondering, Hawthorn’s loss means we don’t drop if we lose.)

    I would prefer Hore over Howes or Thomlinson when he's ready.

    Salem and Bowie have barely fired a shot all year, and Petty is giving us nothing.

    Chandler's pressure is crucial. We need more with his tenacity. Would love to see him maintain it longer in games, but I don't think we should be dropping him.

    I feel like our season changed for the better last week. We are going to finish the season strong. I feel its a good thing to have so many young players in the team and finals within reach. would be so good for their development to play a final, especially if it was at the G. They should show them the baby bombers season highlights, anything is possible

    I'd like to see Harley try a don't argue on viney tomorrow.  Viney would shut him down immediately.  Actually it will be interesting to see him play live to see all the hype. 

    But hoping melksham has a good 1st game back

    Mel Bourne had that same feeling today Praha and look how that turned out!

    Would she mind much if you dragged her along to all our remaining home and away games?

    Shouldn't we keep her in reserve in case we play a final !?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
