(It's their home game, right?)

Anyway, good to see Colvin back. Taylor the consequent last-in-first-out victim. Always awks after the fuss made on their debuts (K.Brown says hullo), particularly in Saraid's case with all her personality splashed over the Club's website before and after the game.

Take lots of Grippo, girls, and I hope there are a few more Dees fans at the game than just the spinning ones on the boundary line. Sounds like Aaron Davey will get a few there, at least?

    Really looking forward to this one.

    If we keep tackling with the ferocity we've shown of late, we should win this.

    Pedal to the metal girls

    Can’t help but admire how the Demons have turned their season around after shocking run with injuries and the loss of many players during the offseason!

    Good luck tonight!

    Must win

    Outstanding effort to turn the season around. I think the backs to wall win in Adelaide was the turning point.

    Hawks have been very good. it's a tough challenge so we'll need every bit of grit and determination to get the W

    Luckily, we have grit and determination in spades

    Dees by 7 points

    Good luck to our girls tomorrow it would be ultra sweet if to beat the Rising Hawks up in Cairns. Great to see Aaron address the team and give them a bit of a pep talk, he looks in great shape.

    Great effort by all and deserve to  make 8 if we beat the Hawks which will be very hard. But not impossible by any means. 

    BTW Timothy it is round 10 I believe. We have a 5/4 record.

    not sure about that as i think they do it on ladder position from previous years?

    does show what an absolute farce an 11 game season is instead of 17, especially when things like % can decide the grand final venue

    Yep, @biggestred, I think it's a reflection of their 14th finish, vs our 5th, last year?

    Also, though, something evidently in the 2024 water at Hawthorn?

    Definitely a big improvement from them but probably more a fighting for finals improvement rather than a might finish clear 2nd type improvement imho

    No The clubs classified as expansion get favourable draws then another lot (middle six) an harder draw and the top 6 which we are in got the harder draw.

    To be sure, DD!

    Indeed, for its consequences, it's a bit grand-final-ish.

    So, a dilemma for Mick in his pitch to the players: a do-or-die grand-final-ish rev-up, a middling 'use the experience for a finals campaign', or steady-as-she-goes with whatever has turned things around (simple and relaxed, effort and selflessness).

    Or are these all compatible?

    No free to air or free streaming. I cannot find a radio program, can anyone suggest a station that is broadcasting? 

    I think the AFLW is dropping the ball for the Demons. Such an important game for us.

    Yeah, you'd think with what riding on it and a top2 side playing they'll show it FTA.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
