[Demonland 72,192]

It's Game Day and this could be the Demons last roll of the dice for their chances at making finals this season as the come face to face with the hot and cold GWS Giants tonight at the MCG in a true 8 point game.

We could win, we could also get flogged.  Hopefully we see a team hungry for the fight and a win to keep the season alive.

It's a saying dating back to the 17th century when heavy rain would wash dead animals down the street.

Don't take it literally PF. You ain't gonna be hit on the bonce by a Great Dane, or heaven forbid, a big pu$$y.

This is a gettable game. I'm optimistic we will show up and pinch this one.

Does Judd go to Toby & play on him all night?

[Newport34 380]

Do or die at the G tonight. See you there!

Says more about them than us IMO.

GWS at the G is not exactly a match made in heaven. Plus their last two wins have been relatively average performances hidden behind exceptional goalkicking accuracy. Two weeks ago against Richmond at the G they had fewer CPs, clearances, inside 50s (-17!) and scoring shots. Underlying performance was very average against the worst side in the comp.

Would be great if the rain could stay away

Giants are as schizo and inconsistent as we are. Genuine 50/50 game

Very poor last week so I expect us to rebound with a good performance. hopefully its enough to win

Go dees.

We have to win, it's that simple. Lets see if the players really care or not. 

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Absolutely essential to win tonight to help our finals chances. I don’t like our chances of winning 4 straight if we lose tonight.

The Giants have been very average the last few weeks and only winning due to accuracy. May should be able to cover Hogan and I’m trusting McVee to do the job on Toby.

This is also the first time we’ll see Petty, JvR, Melksham and Turner all up forward while not doing the majority of the ruck. In some ways I hope the rain stays a away a little bit because I think we can get them in the air.

Agreed. We will be fielding, I believe,  our best fwd line and hopefully it won't have to do half the ruck work.

I'm hoping for a big response from Fritta and Lever today.

Go dees!

[whatwhat say what 22,757]

a win tonight would be enormous 

[Sir Why You Little 37,038]

Gotta win this one

Home Game, the hunger factor will be the most interesting facet 

How much do they want it…?

Not sure, they are a high handball team so rain isn't great for them
