• 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.

 

Hope springs eternal ... that is the problem, being a Demon supporter ... still, it would be very pleasing to have a win.

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.

The concept of another loss is strong but the achievement of some spirited play by the Dees with a weakened list is inviting. It is - as previously mentioned - very much like the Neeld era; at least, we had the courage and good sense to select another coach-in-charge, back then. Why can we not do so now when the chips are down, the future looks hazy, selection is often questionable, recruiting is partial in regard to talent, fans and members of the Club are so often downcast and expectant of improvements in performances, game-style, player readiness and of course, outcomes?

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

Your right    but there is nothing to gain this year and nothing to lose,   perhaps a lower draft pick, Blimey I hope we keep our low draft pick  AND use it well.  Go Dees

All the off-field stuff has taken the focus off this week’s game. I think we’ll be competitive but ultimately I think the Suns will win by 5 goals.

Also predicting the first question from the post match presser to be about the game with the rest to be about Trac and the off-field stuff.

I do not believe we will win today but I do think we'll put up a fight. Hope to swing some magnets around.

GC by 14

Work day today but I'll be listening in on the radio while I go about my rounds. I might even watch a replay tonight if we put on a good show.

Going to my friends sons 1st birthday. And not really fussed at all I can't watch it.

Will check the scores later but I'm expecting a loss. 

Just hope we can be competitive

About to jump on the bus to head down to Rye (home of the Demons) to watch local footy finals, hoping it’s being shown in the social club. Just want the team release the shackles and play with freedom amd a sense of attacking flair. Go Dees and come on Gulls!!!!!

Watching Casey atm. They’re looking okay. Taj, Pup and Jeffo are out there.

PS: it’s so hot here. Like, 3rd degree burns level hot. I worry about Clarrie and Bowser. I’m looking at BBB out there and his skin is burning before my very eyes.

Edit: yeah nah, not looking okay anymore. 😢

Did Clarry make the trip up? May? Trac?

I was going to go but I'm pretty knackered driving down from Ayr the last few days so I passed through the Gold Coast earlier and decided to spend a sunny day at Brunswick Heads instead. Go Dees anyway and I'll pop in to enjoy the meltdown on this thread in a couple of hours.

This must be someone’s idea of humour. I haven’t seen him out there today but he’s not playing his 200th, not today anyways.

I was going to take my eldest 9yo to his first dees game and try and get a photo with Nibbler afterwards after he rang the eldest on a junior ring around.

Unfortunately in Syd at brother in laws . 
 

was ambivalent about missing but woke up in northern rivers this morning to an absolutely cracking day, so now a bit cross we’re not going especially as it was the last chance to see Nibbler. 
 

go dees!

Will miss the first half most likely, seeing a few open for inspections. Hope we put up a fight though, Go Dees.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
