GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Sydney

It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    Another breakfast bounce on my side of the world. At least this time I am not breakfast chef for the in laws and do not have to spend time being social at some ungodly hour before even coffee.

    Looking forward to this game. Certain it will be another 4 points with the boys running on top of the ground and plinking goals rather than points for once.

    Fit list. Strong team. The G. Coaching team showing the moves. All good.

    The Mighty Dee by 6 goals.

    Expectations are high, and the outcome is super important for both sides

    Whoever loses slips that crucial 4 points behind the other and will lose touch with the bottom edges of the 8

    Should be a cracking contest

    I actually think this could be out biggest win of the season so far. Syd have improved their game but they can't score and they have some big outs. We'll be full of confidence after last week so I think we'll win easily here.

    Dees by 41.

    Good morning DLand.

    Well there is certainly a pulse back in the old club.

    And I'd politely suggest if your not a little enthusiastic about today that you check yours.

    I’ve been up since 6:30, my dear king-size sheet rack. I’m on chook tending duty this morning and I reckon my girls know when it’s gameday coz I’m quite manic and they literally sit on my feet to slow me down. True story.

    Six and a half hours ‘til the first bounce so they’ve got their work cut out for them. 😂

    Looking forward to a great game at the “G” today, we are starting to show something a bit special and another win today will reinforce that feeling in the boys minds, belief. Looking forward to seeing Christian Petracca run out surrounded by his best mates and playing a ripper game, Dees by 23 points.

    I don't bet on the dees but if I did I would back us for a win today based on my assessment we are overs at 2.00.

    Objectively we should be favourite - I'd peg us at 1.75 to win.

    • Playing on our home deck and our opponents have to travel

    • We have close to our best 22 team and our opponents are missing at least 5-6 of their best 22

    • They are missing tall forwards which creates a structural problem for them

    • Last year, at their best, they were one of the best transition teams going with a method we struggled to negate - this year they are below mid table for transition and are relying on winning contest and territory, which is our one wood

    • We have won 4 of our last 5 games

    • The Swas have lost 3 of their last 5 games

    • We are coming off a win against the premiership on their home deck, with, in horse racing parlance, the lions franking that form last night (also helping my punting bank)

    • The Swans, at home against a travelleing team, struggled to get past the blues, who do anything but frank the form getting smashed at home by the giants

    Note: that doesn't in of itself mean I think we'll win. Just means I think a dees victory is the most probable outcome hence 2.00 is good value.

    BUT I do think we'll win.

    If we kick straight I'm predicting a 32 point victory

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
