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.

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.

Despite everything going on, great to see so much red and blue on the 6:30am jetstar flight up. Go dees!

tough assignment given our outs and their home record.

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!

August 16, 2024Aug 16

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 👋

August 16, 2024Aug 16

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.

August 16, 2024Aug 16

It’s game day baby. Pumped!

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

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 ✊

REPORT: Western Bulldogs
REPORT: Western Bulldogs

The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

CASEY: Brisbane

The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
