WE CAN WIN TONIGHT.

Stranger things have happened… take this entire bizarro season for example. 
 

It would be great to see as many fans there as possible tonight. Rain is not predicted and a top of 18 and sunny is a gift in August. Please turn up if you can. Let’s ensure a decent turnout, if for no other reason than to avoid another What’s Your Excuse? thread.

Seriously. It means the world to the players to know we’re there. 


Replacement buses on our line again, @Rab D Nesbitt 🤬 but that won’t stop us, will it?! Sure, it’ll make us wish we were dead, but it won’t stop us. On a wing and a prayer…

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

 

 

I had fully intended to attend tonight's match.

However, I am instead going to a celebration of life event for Bonnie the cat, who passed away a few days ago at the age of 18. Her owner (a Demons supporter) and her family are heartbroken. I hope that is a good enough excuse.

C'mon Dees ... do it for Bonnie!

    I've reached that calm moment where I accept that the team is depleted and the season is not going to end in triumph. I'll be watching for the small things; little glimpses of talent from the kids which build anticipation for the future, simple moments of football beauty, and surges of sustained pressure and effort which might not last quite long enough but do affirm that we still know how.

    And in that state of mind, we'll probably win and then I'll have to think 'mathematical possibilities' for the final two rounds like 2005 all over again.

    Hi WCW. Fortunately I'm within walking distance of Ardeer station on the Ballarat line as well as a metro line so can avoid the bus. At least on the way in. It wouldn't surprise me if we get rolled in all of our remaining games but we all live in hope.

    Are you hoping for a dead cat bounce?

    Goodwin spoke about the expectations we have for our players when they put on a Melbourne jumper. Let's hope we see those expectations be met by the players tonight.

    I also hope that our supporters show up. While we need the players to show more grit, it would be good if the supporters did the same.

    A win isn't as important as having a proper crack. Last week was just not acceptable.

    I'm bringing some overseas work colleagues that are in town along to see a game of footy. Would be a shame if we don't put up a fight and this game is as one sided as last week.

    That said, we don't chuck in the towel at the G so i expect us to bring plenty of effort. We're badly out of form and missing key players so I'm not hopeful of a positive result but as long as we try hard I'll be happy.

    Go dees

    Unfortunately we've had a few unacceptable performances this year.

    I’ll be there.

    Hoping for some serious pressure and fast flow footy and for a starting square midfield of Rivers, Pickett and McVee at some stage of the game.

    I’d just like to see the Dees turn up mentally tonight and produce a four quarter effort. If we do, we can win. If not, it will get very ugly.

    I feel like being his wife means that he should just do whatever I say, but annoyingly it’s not always the case. So rude 😂

    Unfortunately we’re back to the days of hoping for 100% effort and as close to a 4 quarter performance as possible.

    Looking forward to seeing the future on display tonight - JVR, McVee, Rivers, Kolt, Kozzie, Houston.

    Our horrible performance against the ‘Scraggers’ has given me nightmares all week, so I’m choosing to go with the dreams I had before the ‘wheels fell off’.     
    Dees by 3 points.  ❤️ 💙

    I’d love to see some more connection and excitment in our young fwd line

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
