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. 😁

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
