We need a big win if we are a realistic chance at finals

If we play we same intensity and game plan of the last 2 weeks we should win by 50+

I think it's going to be alot tougher then people think, the Saints have some good players and being up north it really brings it closer. If we get out to anything in the way of 4 goals Ross will start flooding the defence and try get us on counter, they could pinch this game.

However if we play near our best we will win I'm not fussed about percentage just want the game style to look as good as last week. Doubt we will make the 8 being effectively 3 games out

    given our recent uptick in form, we have every right to be confident

    but just remember, we've been beaten by North this year

    i hope the team aren't getting ahead of themselves

    Agree with you that it’s strange we’re playing St Kilda up there as opposed to a Freo or Port but that might be a good thing??

    If I was a Saints supporter I’d be furious about my team having to play this match in Alice.

    Been debated for a long time. NT pays us close to $1M for this match.

    What is strange is that we are playing a Melbourne based club whereas in the past it was usually an interstate club. If played in Melbourne we would have got a crowd of 30-40k at most which would return maybe $200k. ( Around 25k is considered the unpublished break even number for the MCG).

    For me I like it as it helps avoid the killer game in Darwin

    Thanks for this breakdown. It's quite the good earner.

    If I was a Saints supporter, I'd be furious at myself.

    Last day of my holiday and I really need a Dee’s win. I’ve flooded the lads footy wattsapp group with the kind of pro Demon propaganda that we read here daily.

    Still the most naturally gifted player I’ve ever seen play. Just freakish skills.

    Gee watching the footy of Callum Ward being upset is upsetting in itself. Poor bloke. Footy is a cruel game. I really feel sorry for the guy. Hit him really hard. At his age those things can mean a career.

    Very important match today. This is the type of game we would normally take far to easy and drop. We are going to find out if we really are back on track or not today.

    Bit disappointed Laurie’s the sub. Think he deserves a full game.

    On Liam Jurrah, still hold some blame to Mark Neeld, he really failed to see the kind of player Jurrah was and if my memory serves me there was some murmuring’s of racism at the club at the time. I may be wrong on this but it’s how I felt at the time.

    I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere yet, but a listener to the DeeBrief podcast created this track which is one of the greatest things I have ever heard and should get everybody HYPED for today's match.

    I like it a lot, but there’s one thing about it that stops me from getting too excited by it… that guitar bit that just repeats over and over, sounds too much like…. She’s As Cold As Ice… I [censored] hate that [censored] song so [censored] much, I’m verging on the pathological!! Apologies if I’ve put that awful earworm in anyone else’s brain.

    Lyrically it’s very clever…

     

    We need to destroy this mob. Take their soul early and eat it in front of them.

      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?
