It's Game Day, and the Demons' hopes for making the finals in the 2024 season are hanging by a thread. A loss would be the final blow to a disappointing season, while a win against the in-form Bulldogs would offer a temporary reprieve. LFG!

Well, the last 3 games I have attended where the final last year against Carlton,  Brisbane this year at the Gabba and last week at the freezing MCG. All losses by less than a kick! Will be home tonight in Brisbane watching on Kayo so we are a much better chance. 🤞

We play well at Marvel, I do worry about a shoot out again. If that happens one of our guys will kick a bag. Who knows how close we'll get.

Yep.

You can't lose most of your close games and expect finals.

I think we are really up against Muhammad Ali.  Was it the rumble in the jungle

And he gave out a whipping

Last time we met, Tracca,May, Lever, Max and Tmac were in cheat touch with 50 marks between them.

Chandler was in scintillating form as he is at the start of seasons with three sausage rolls and even Bbb kicked two 

Oliver played his best game of the season.

The drive from our backline we had was immense then and something that Gws recently showed us up in.

Reckon we’ll have a comfortable half time lead of around 4 goals as the Dogs might be a bit flat off a 5 day break. 

Then they’ll run all over us in the second half for a 5 goal Dogs win, due to our inability to put together 4 quarters against good sides.

On paper our midfield just doesn’t stack up against theirs.

Yeah nah, don't think so. Won't be going either, I've got points in the bank for attending last week.

I was going to quip that someone had put vodka in your water bottle "again" but then had a closer look.

Yep you picked the wrong week to give up the old Metho.

Don't worry, what you spend on Liver tests is offset by the savings on beers you make at Marvel these days.

Dogs are very tall

And their talls have been in good form

Unlike rd 2 when their 4 tall attack wilted.

Wouldn't the 5 day break cause them to struggle later in the game more than early?

Last chance saloon for us. Their 5 day break, after an interstate trip, after being in Geelong the week prior, gives us some sort of edge, but on current form this doesn’t look great. If we lapse in the middle two quarters like we did last week, we’re no chance.

True. But I wouldn't be surprised if they come out a bit flat after being up for 3 weeks.

I could be wrong and they've blown us out of the water by quarter time.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
