(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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
