(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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
