Too nervous.

Can't wait to get to the game today and see the boys run on! Should be a good day, weather looks to be holding fine, hoping for a crowd North of 70,000.

Have not looked forward to a game like this in years! 70K plus crowd is not out of the question if there weather stays OK. A bit of sun would have been nice. I seriously think we can pull a win off today. We have shown for over a month that we can match the top teams for a half of footy or better! If we can play 3 great quarters of footy we will beat the pies. I know the players have been quoted in the press that they will treat it like any other game, but you know they won`t. This is our GF for the year and Malthouse knows it, just like he came out last year and almost bagged us for lifting so much against his ``blockbuster`` team!

Go Boys and Go Jack!

bring it on! Women's game before QBD is in progress, one sided affair, 8.4 to no score. All warm from both the egg and bacon rolls from fed square. Watts is on the ground i think! Edit - yes it was Jack, he was out for a walk around the ground with Jones, no shots at goal, just a walk to relax the nerves. BIG HIT in the warm up watch, felt it from 10 rows back!

No changes to either side. Jack is starting on the pine. Good decision - gives the crowd a better chance to welcome him to the game. Should be a fair roar when he comes on.

Before the game I was excited, but worried we'd push them and might get the 4 points, thereby putting us in danger of missing out on a PP... But this is far worse than any win.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
