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?

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!

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 👋

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 ✊

PREVIEW: Port Adelaide
PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over. On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

REPORT: Collingwood
REPORT: Collingwood

The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

POSTGAME: Collingwood

Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
