It's Game Day and whilst the Demons have been making the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week there are still two more games to go before we can officially say good night to this season from hell and our penultimate match up has us facing off against the Gold Coast Suns at their fortress at People First Stadium.

• Petracca, Oliver, May and Windsor out.

*Miller back for GC to further strengthen a potent midfield.

•South East Queensland’s hottest day forecasted in 4 months.

* MFC’s public relations at its lowest ebb since Norm Smith and the MFC had a minor disagreement.

*MFC’s first dead rubber since round 23 2019.

Aside from the above, I’m pretty bullish about today.

So you're telling me there's a chance?

We’re gonna go out there today and we’re gonna kick the Suns into the middle of next week, nay, next MONTH! We’re gonna GIVE ‘EM HELL!!!

Oh, who am I trying to kid. Even I’m having trouble mustering up enthusiasm. Only got two hours sleep.  😭

All good though. I’ll smash these, then look out QLD!!! Incoming!!!

Our banner today says:

THE DEMON ARMY IS BACK IN TOWN

HERE TO WATCH THE SUNS GO DOWN

Clever huh. Now we just need to win. Last week we had DEMON SPIRIT VS DOGGY BITE and Doggy Bite won which sucks when you’ve decided to call them Doggy Bite.

🤭


tough assignment given our outs and their home record.

just show some heart and ticker boys. have a crack

go dees

I'm going to get in early on the 'what's your excuse' thread with a ten-hour day on a secure site. I won't even be able to check the scores until I'm out the door.

If people could tag me in the game thread posts to create an official Demonland match call which I can follow when I get home, that'd be great.

Hmm, funnily enough, the last time I can recall having to work in a secure environment throughout a Demons game was the 2000 finals win over North. Touch wood, similar result today.

Maybe it's what the team needs each break 

Couldn't hurt in these close losses of late.

With our outs and on their turf and our form, we should win this😃.

Just realised GWS v Freo is on at the same time. Gonna have to have two screens going.

Checking in from Ghent, fitting as possibly one of the major circus capitals of the world. Go Dees! 

Checking in from Cairns Airport, fitting as there are a lot of vacant stares, sobbing and crying and a general malaise, waiting for something to end the boredom. 
 

Hi @Skuit 👋 


Worst mathematical [censored]-tease in my life-time. Win by ten goals and wait for our three major competitors to slip against specifically the bottom three teams. Then see what happens.

The only thing I'm really looking for today is a game style where the 'chains are loosed' so the players can actually enjoy their footy. I don't particularly care about the result, so if it means we lose (which is likely anyway) then I'm more than ok with it. Hopefully it could be some kind of preview of a more attacking game plan for next year as well, but that may be asking too much.

If we play a slow, boring, defensive game style and eek out a 64-62 loss it will be a waste of a game in my opinion.

This  be is how I feel, play boring football it’s a waste, 

be free and enjoy your football   Much better to watch   Go Dee’s

Hi @Skuit 👋 

Hang out there until at least cyclone season for something interesting to happen, and then deal with that 100-year flop when it seems so close. 

It’s game day baby. Pumped!

let’s go Dees. Two wins to finish the season!

Yes Good luck seeing any change of game plan More of the same unfortunately

That's all well and good - but then if we lose, it's inferred that we lacked defensive structure and accountability.

Fair warning. Anyone not currently demonstrating the requisite levels of cynicism might open themselves up to accusations of being a troll, or even a happy-clapper.

15 of the passengers were DA. There’s already heaps of us there and there’s another two planes landing soon with more of us. Our cheer squad has the highest number of members who travel interstate. Repping the red n blue

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
