• 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.

Kicked 6 according to Jeff White’s instagram

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

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
