a lot of cats supporters down here are not confident, Darcy Fort smacked them in the ruck and they expect Gawn to do worse.

I have zero confidence in us winning based on what we have done so far and how slow we are, but, the first 2-5 minutes of the game will tell the story.

Geelong by 72

 

How do I feel about tonight? Generally speaking when it comes to football I’m an optimist. But sadly this year footy which is like a religion to me has just become just a game and after this week I might even end up hating the game.

The only upside to all this is I tend to get things wrong. I picked the Dees to win in the first three weeks, I now have tipped them to lose. Hope I’m wrong again.

Kozzie owes us a big game & our forward line has to function.

Kozzie owes us, to be quite frank, aside from the game against GWS in round one, the whole team owes us

 

Look I just hope we come out tonight with a good solid win, which will be a loss within 5 goals.

Heading to the game.

Highlight of the night I expect will be the McDonalds, KFC or Hungry Jacks on the drivr back home

At least we were accurate that day and were generally efficient going inside 50.

Only a serious demonlander could see a positive from that result crazy crazy people

Im not very optimistic about tonight, but I'm still excited to tune in and watch the boys (pretty sure i'm in the late stages of stockholm syndrome by now)

I'm not fussed if we lose, I just want to see buy in to this new game plan we keep hearing about, because if that happens, i'm sure we will be competitive a la GWS in round 1. I just don't want to watch the last two weeks on repeat tonight.

Time for Max, Vines, Tracc, Fritta and Co to lead from the front, the young lads crack in each week and so far this season, it is our older more experienced campaigners that can learn a lesson from the rookies. Tonight will be telling, will the response come??

Go Dees!

 

Time for actions to speak louder than words.

It is now up to the Demons players to perform and show pride in the jumper. ❤️💙

Cats by 7, we turn our season around

This would be an ideal result and more realistic to contemplate than a win.

If we're losing by 7 points we've either played a brilliant 1.5 to 2 quarters and gone to sleep in the other 2 (similar to the second loss to Brisbane last year), or a repeat of the GWS game whereby both clubs trade leads and momentum all night. Either outcome hopefully gives us some confidence to roll the Dons next week.

Another 10 goal loss and I don't know where we go from here.

A triple figure loss and I do know where we go from here.


Emotional states and losing margins

We lose but by under 10 points = hopeful. Also a bit disappoined but feel we still have a pulse in 25. Demonland has an upbeat but deflated flavour.

We lose by 30 ish = Still a bit hopeful, must have done a bit right, but a bit [censored] off too. Demonland is divided...anger venting in certain corners begins.

We lose by 30-45 = We feel a bit sick, someone on DL has a melt down and while people try to point to the positives ir turns into a group avalanche.

We lose by 45- 65 = We're angry....people want change. Demonland looking for player scapegoats. Blood letting begins.

We lose by 65 plus = Worst scenario. The nuclear option. Microwaves coming for membership cards. Goodies days are also officially numbered. We now know exactly how deeply we're [censored] and 2013 trama memories are triggered ( ie Gillies played CHB...Watts drops chest marks and Neeld is coach) Only the brave visit demonland. Due to damage inflicted, new TV's are searched for on Sat morning with promises to our partners we wont watch again in 25.

A close loss will really pizz me off.

So we try hard against good teams only?

If we tried as hard as we did against GWS we would have beaten North and probably the Suns

I missed both of our last two games due to family commitments. Sorry about that folks. I'll watch tonight and I'm sure all will be right with the world as we pick up another honourable loss just like in R1.

If we lose, no matter the margin, there’ll be the obligatory knee-jerk new threads. The only question is how many of these there’ll be. I’m guessing the bigger the loss the more threads.

Cheer squad OGs have told me of how in the dark days if we lost by less than two goals they’d sing the song. That’s so sad.

Anyways that won’t happen tonight, only if it’s under a goal will we sing the song. 😂

So with my membership card being on my phone, do I torch the phone in the microwave?

I am filled with very little confidence we will be competitive, let alone a chance of winning.

Sincerely hope I'm proven wrong somehow. If we switch on now there's no reason we can't still aim for September.

I’m going with history.

2019 - Us 0-3, Swans 1-2 and we travel to Sydney and get our first win.

2025 - 0-3, Cats 1-2…

That’s pretty much all I got.

Luckily my membership card is inside a frozen takeaway container with leftover spaghetti bolognaise in it.

Gillies played CHB

I can honestly say I would never have thought of that again unless you'd mentioned that here. That was a memory I had left to a part of my mind I never return to.

Got the number 27, too! Wow.

Ok, so I know this sounds masochistic, but I took it upon myself to re-watch last weekend's game yesterday. I saw a lot more positive signs than I remembered from watching it live last weekend. I'm more confident that with the skills and run that our ins this week bring, we'll be competitive.

Go Dees!

Gates open at 3:20pm. The Casey game starts at 3:50pm. It would be great for the Casey boys to see and hear support, so anyone who can get to Mordor early enough to catch even just part of the match, please do this.

Besides supporting the Casey players, being there for two matches also justifies the criminally high price of a ticket. Idk about y’all but I had to fork out $65 for the privilege of sitting in the away cheer squad bay. God how I hate that club.

$65? Outrageous.

But l was there for 186 and paid $70 for a reserved seat.I was with my mate and we got to sit in the forward pocket.On a bench seat of 3 planks of wood - pre WW 2 vintage.It had no back.

GFC = rip off merchants.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
