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: 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.

      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.
