GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs West Coast

It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    Clarry and may are big outs.

    Hopefully the eagles don’t decide to turn it on again like last year but with our outs I reckon this will be a close one

    Not confident but I reckon we win by 15 points

    Go dees

    Clarry yes, but has May out, been verified, or is it still just a training thread?

    Not sure re may. I read it on here and assumed it was a definite out but perhaps not

    I think it’s very possible, in which case I’d have to think JVR will be back in the team.

    11.35am start over here for me. Good timing.

    Watch the first, an apero or 2 at halftime and a relaxed lunch after the game to celebrate.

    Expect a win. Viney to wear Reid like glove and pester him to distraction. Sparrow to take him if he lines up at HB. Rivers to step up in a midfield role.

    Petty and Turner to not change ends at the breaks. Half forward, half back.

    All good…. Dees by 30 points going away.

    I heard May was gonna be a late out from someone in the DA who arrived in Perth yesterday morning. He didn’t say who he’d heard it from but I believed it because Maysie didn’t look right at training on Thursday, so it came as no surprise.

    Before our Freo match remember we were saying Freo had the wood on us, they’ll humiliate us again like last year, we’re gonna be 0-6 etc. Nek minnit… we chalk up a win. 😃

    Ima draw on that energy and bring it into today’s game for all to feed off. I have nfi what that means but I’m vibing a win so I’m gonna roll with it. Again, don’t know what I’m saying coz three hours sleep and no coffee. Zero coffee. Not a single coffee bean😳

    The mighty Dees by Dazzle’s fave player… 30 pts. 👹

    For all the numbers nerds out there:

    We beat Freo by 10 pts

    We beat Toiges by 20 pts ergo

    We’ll beat WCE by 30 pts

    Simples

    GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

    Just want to see more of that manic pressure we came out with after halftime against the Tigers. Do that and we go a long way to winning it.

    A good last quarter would be nice to see for the first time this season. (Provided we have played the first 3 consistently)

    it's funny, from 2020-2024 i was incredibly confident us winning every game

    now i have uncertainty as to whether or not we can even be competitive

    my mfcss is tingling; not helped by some random stat i saw the other day that meth coke win more round 8 games than any other team or some such poppycock

    do it for plugger mac, dees

    Our game is built around pressure, and it’s been building nicely over the last couple of rounds. Bring it consistently today, and it’s game over by mid way through the third, if not earlier. I’m backing us to do just that! Dees by 50+ points going away.

    Expecting a Tim Kelly masterclass. That guy always plays well against us.

    Also, I mentioned this in another thread, but I get the feeling that Harley Reid will be pumped up for tonight considering he was at the forefront of our demolition around this time last year.

    Curtailing the influence of those two will go a long way towards a Demon victory.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
