It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.

Well they thrashed us last time & we had max. Now we don't.

However I'm hoping we've got our game back on track.

When I wake up tomorrow morning I want to wake up to a win please.

How long you planning on sleeping for?

The game won’t finish for another 17 hours.

Optimistic but realistic going into this one.

A tough game on paper.

So many unexpected results for many teams this year though.

I'm overseas so with the time difference by the time I wake up it will be over. Hopefully I wake up to good news

Not showing off (except totes showing off so much it’s not funny) I got a video message from Melky yesterday. He is supremely confident (but not cocky or arrogant) about today. So rest at ease, fellow DL-ers and Demons tragics… if Melks is confident, so too should we be.

 

PS Red Bull and toothpaste don’t go together 😐

YOLO! I’ll sleep when I’m dead 🤪

Thats actually a dumb saying. Folks who say this clearly haven’t grasped the concept of sleep, nor death 🙃

I slept for maybe two hours last night. Not staying in Perth tonight, got an 11:45pm flight home with Mrs Frittata. Neither of us will have slept in more than 24 hours so it’s a good thing *we’re gonna win today; it’ll make the trip home bearable.

*yeah, I said WE’RE GONNA WIN, coz we are K? K!

The young guys coming in has infused the team with some youthful energy. The boys will be confident and believe they can win. I think we'll deliver a performance. Not sure of a win but we will not capitulate this time.

Tough ask over there but its Freo we’re up against. They are liable to [censored] the bed. There's plenty of reason to be hopeful.

Heart says gutsy win, head says gallant 15-point loss

They’re a fully fit team with no best 22 injured, playing at home, a ruck combo against our no ruck, and their defensive structure of Pearce, Ryan, Cox, Clark) is probably the best in the league at the moment.

 

Dees by 12 points. 🔴🔵

I would like to say I'm confident but I'd be lying.

I've watched Freo of late and they're impressive team on the rise. They're starting to build some really good self belief within the team, not saying we aren't either, but seems that JL seems to have them finally connecting in all three lines of the ground

Freo at home this year have been hard to stop. Yes they lost to West Coast but I think like us they were just completely off their game. Their slingshot off half back and ability to move the ball at speed is what is winning them games this year. See the Sydney game where this was on display. 

The Jackson/Darcy combo is another factor. Forget Draper, these two are miles ahead of him. It worries me that we're going to be putting more focus on JVR as a ruckman this week then we would initially like because Petty struggled to provide a solid contest when he was in there.

Can see this one going right down to the wire.

Go Dees.

Just keep building on the last few weeks and we are a big chance to win.

Petty broke Draper, now Darcy and Dogga’s turn.

Love the weekly enthusiasm SN34 💪

Only way I see us winning this one is evening up on clearance and it rain during the game to help stop their uncontested game.

Talk about a season defining game.

Will be tough to win but finals birth for sure if we do.

Go Dees.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
