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.

    Game day baby. Pumped!

    C’mon Demonlanders, fire up you miserable bunch of………..(well not everyone).

    Lets face it, Port are sheet and will never win a premiership under KH.

    Get to the G and be loud for our Dees. 
     

    See you there. Go Dees

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
