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. 🤞

    Well this came around fast.

    Win this and we have a sniff.

    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.

    Doggies off a 5 day break more than evens the odds imv.

    Dees by 15 points

    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.

     

    I can’t see a world in which we win tonight. I wonder how much last weeks loss sapped our confidence/motivation.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
