    Got down to Casey today at 11.00 today and there were a handful of spectators in the ground and the gates were ajar. Missed all but the last minutes of the scratch match. The players then had running and some ball work drills. The players there that I picked up were Billings, Adams, Verrall, Campbell, Fullarton, Mentha, Brown, Johnson, Woey, Kentfield, Culley and a few others, Apparently ( according to a trainer) Jeffo copped a knock in the scratch match and was nowhere in sight

    I think we might have a set back tonight.

    If the game were at the G we’d be winning our third consecutive game where we have a 6-6 record since round 11 last year. Plus we’re a better team than them.

    However away from the G we have a 1-8 record since that debacle in round 10 last year at Optus V WC. The stats are too obvious to ignore and it’s plain to see that we can’t or won’t play the style of footy and requisite pressure needed to win a game away from the G.

    Hope to be proven wrong of course.

    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.

    I think Reid is playing for a change of clubs back home.

    As in trying to show his credentials, or deliberately being so difficult to work with they'll trade him?

    We need to clamp down on Waterman as he could have a field day against us without May. He is the danger man for tonight.

    Really liked the use of Viney in a run with role against the opposition's best over the past two weeks.

    Just as an explosive game by Reid will lift WC and the crowd, multiple additions of Harley Reid to the "Jack Viney made me cry" thread will lift the Dees and deflate WC.

    With Oliver out and Viney (perhaps) playing a defensive role, this is the game for Petracca - whose form has been solid - to get back to his gaming-winning best.

    If this plays out then Goodwin should walk tonight…

    If we have any semblance of pride, the MFC wins by 36+

    Watching Wines play ruck for Port today is there any chance we put Langford in as a backup ruck when Maxy needs a rest? He’s a tall lad and strongly built, might work? I’d prefer not put Petty in there.

    Did May participate in the Captain's run yesterday?

    No idea but I reckon he plays.

    Not sure why they’d fly him over to Perth if he was under substantial enough doubt.

    If he wasn’t under a cloud and he injured himself at the captains run then surely he would’ve been withdrawn from the squad from now?

    See what happens.

    The 1-8 wasn’t against wc though, outside a repeat of last year this game shouldn’t present any issues, plus if u want to talk pressure and stats just look at wc this year they would love to be us

    Actually our current 1-8 record away from the MCG included the WC game of round 10 last year.

    Bo Allen - certainty for the rising star nom

    Demons by 3 points

    Dubdee to get a stomach ulcer

    WC last game at home they lost to the bombers by 2 points They are fired up big time after being hammered in the media

    Bombers beat us by 40 points so i’m not confident at all

    I’d be delighted with a 1 pt win

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
