    • 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.

    late changes?

    Sub anyone?

    thanks

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
