We have enough experience to help us win a few more games. I'd be really disappointed if we went winless from here to end the season. I hope we give them a show tonight.

    Not sure their 5 day break will be enough to get us up. Just had a look at Dogs previous game off a 5 day break. Lost to the Swans at Marvel 88-102 in round 11. Not bad as the Swans were flying then.

    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.

    We came back from Perth on a 6 day break last week it probably cost us a win in the end.

    They've been receiving all the plaudits and pats on the back from all and sundry.

    We are in with a massive shout, hard to get over a hoo‐doo, especially off a 5 day break.

    Key to this game is the start and and to stay level pegging with them until the last, we can run over them especially in the last 10 mins of the final quarter.

    Expecting a massive response from El Capitano, Kozzie, Fritta  and Sparrow.

    Swans were terrible that night.

    We have always matched up well against them.

    Can we kick a score to win?

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

    And he gave out a whipping

    Foreman went in as the clear favourite (Footscray) and Ali (Melbourne) knocked out Foreman in the eighth round.

    Im going but not sure I am going to have an enjoyable night....I think Dogs by about 25-35 (hope Im wrong though!)

     

    I'm bracing myself for a thumping tbh but hoping for the best of course. Dogs off a five day break should help but they have their tails up right now. 

    Dogs by 4-5 goals is the safe bet. They're the form team of the competition at present and should get the job done at Marvel. 

    Hoping to see our kids show a bit again. Would love strong games from Kolt, Rivers, Disco, JVR.

    So much material they could use as a front page and the AFL choose to have a go at us like this. Gutter journalism.

    Didn’t see this kind of hatchet job when the Tigers got 19k for a Giants game…

    The media in this country, outside of a few notable exceptions, is garbage. Fake news. Once you realise this it becomes much easier to ignore their nonsense

    Current news statements:

    1. A poor turnout of Dees fans showed up to an MCG home game against a reasonable matchup

    2. Dees fans are probably less likely to rock up to a Marvel game against a less favorable matchup

    Can’t see us winning the midfield battle at all which will lead to a heap of entries and ultimately the win for them. My confidence in McQualter is waning and I don’t think he has any tricks up his sleeve.

    I know the Dogs are our bunnies but I reckon Trac has been BoG in probably 3 of the last 4 against them which also doesn’t help.

    Just FYI no one at the Herald Sun tipped us except for the Kiss of Death. According to them we’re the biggest underdog of the round.

    What a beautiful sunny winter’s morning here in Melbz. A perfect morning to wallow in defeatism, amirite guys???

    LOLS I get it that not everyone is as deluded as I am. 😅

    This is how I see it: every match is winnable, there’s no such thing as a foregone conclusion. At the first bounce both teams are on the same score, no one gets a head start.

    Anyways we have every chance of winning, and I know we can. Moreover, I think we will!!!

    GIVE ‘EM HELL, DEMONS!

    SHOW NO MERCY!!!

    Break out the defibrillators y’all…Dees by Rooey - 2 pts 😁

     

    PS I’ve implemented a self-imposed ban from DL in the event of a loss. Postgame thread is a no-go until at least 24-36 hours afterwards, by which time I should be able to read posts without wanting to punch someone in the throat. 😁

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
