As disgusting and horrible as last week was, if we can somehow win tonight then i will forget round 1 completely and i bet the MFC does too and marches forward.

Lets face it, last week was only one match. Yes we have been crap for a long time Yes it was atrocious, degrading, embarassing. Almost soul destroying.

But the bottom line is that we can beat the Bomnbers and if we do it will be happy days again.

GO DEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you name the Street so we can have a media contingent there? (just in case)

If we win tonight I'll be happy but pi55ed at the same time. I'm sick of us having our backs against the wall and the media on us all week to stand up. Can't we just put in week in week out?

The first 5 minutes will tell us a story, 'cfh'. As it often does. If we come out of the blocks, we've got a chance of making a game of it. Even if all that happened, the last quarter could also tell a tale. Fresh legs could win out if the extra weeks rest is a factor.

We've got an obligation to start well with a fierce attack on the ball. After last Sunday, anything less than that will be unacceptable. I'm reasonably confident we'll have a go early. We can't not turn up again.

me too mate, me too

The same street? That could be a bit weird.

Win or lose, I'll be getting drunk.

I'm going to be at a 50th, taping it to watch it at home. If we win I'll be stoked, but I just want desperate desire to chase and tackle and get the bloody ball.

But I want it every week, and I'll be happy once we achieve that, everything else is covering the cracks.

Time to shut up and act.

I'm sure the boys will have a crack but it seems to take a smashing and then a week of criticism for them to show a heartbeat. I just wish they could rock up to the ground, clock on and mean business every week. I think we will start strong and break even in the first quarter with a more skilled team and then fade away to lose by 5 goals.

If they win, I'll take heart from it. While it would be disappointing to know that the effort comes and goes, I'd take that over the idea that they're hopeless beyond redemption, which is how it seemed last week.

If you have fifty on the Dees you will be washing the dishes at the Flower Drum.

On the train heading to the G to sit with Bomber mate of 40 years .

We go every year (since 1975). There have been a few occasions of joy not many .

Darren Bennett made my afternoon once, so did G Lyon, in 1991 i remember a young Ox shooting for a late goal at Windy Hill that would have pinched it for us and I have enjoyed the last 3 times!

But I had butterflies last Saturday and tonight I feel nothing. Just looking fwd to seeing my mate.

Dees just go out there and have a red hot go but do it for 4 qtrs!!!

Clearly a sucker for punishment I am. So many better things to do tonight, yet here we are, heading to the footy.

This better be a vast improvement. I don't expect a win but FFS, some competitive spirit would be lovely.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
