GAMEDAY - Round 22

[Whispering_Jack 28,094]

The forecast is for some rain in the afternoon which shouldn't worry us greatly. In fact, for a club that has stood on the edge of the abyss so many times in the past ten years, nothing should worry us.

The experience of being in contention this far into the season is something we should savour. This is a glimpse into our future.

Win. That's all there is to it.

Win today and the Melbourne Football Club stays alive until the very last game of the season. That's all a supporter can ask of their club.

Feeling both excited and nervous about today. A 10 goal win would mean a massive build up to the Cats game however I feel like the blues will want to make a statement. 

Need big games from Oliver and Petracca  with Hunt to take out the rounds rising star nom.

A 100 point win would do us quite nicely today Boys!

we can't be worried about percentage next week. 

ten goal win makes the equation simple next week

[Gorgoroth 12,355]

This game will tell us a lot about this team. 

On paper we should win, 

To stay in the season we must win.

To give us every chance to make the finals we must will well.

 

This will tell us what players have the mental fortitude to make it in a good side, this will show us which players will drive us to the next levels. Our attack and desperation at the ball and the player with the ball should be much higher than Carltons.

Our willingness to help out our defence should be at its highest it's ever been.

It should hold up, I got the hairdresser to make it extra permanent.

I have woken up with a mixture of emotions this morning - excitement, nervousness, wonderment (that we have got through this strange season and still might be finals contenders) and above all hope that the stars are aligning and the outcome is positive for us all.

I am off to do some yoga now where today's intention will be not about world peace but for a Demons win.❤️?

My Collingwood supporter husband is coming along with me to the game decked out in red and blue - he dislikes Carlton immensely so he wasn't hard to persuade.

Go Dee's ❤️?❤️?

Sadly I am unable to attend today's game Ethan, or I would have awarded you the honour of supplying my alcoholic beverages pre, during and post game.

How disappointing for you!

However, if you see a toothless bloke in ill fitting Demon clobber you should buy the sheila he is with a drink.

Yes, Ethan made every effort to alert team management that he was going to p!ss all over a gas station.

Any statement the Blues might want to make pales into insignificance compared to the one we're trying to make this week and next.

First job win. Second job remove percentage from equation.

I hope his "credentials" are up to snuff.

[deeflog 679]

Be ferocious demons and really make a statement today

[What 18,810]

Biggest game in a decade.  

We must win...  it will make next week and the lead up the Cats game amazing...  everyone will be cheering for us to make the finals and knock out boring old North.  We will get so much positive press all week and we will officially be a footy club again.

Come on Dees get it done today!

DEMONS POST MASSIVE WIN

BRAD SCOTT RUSHED TO HOSPITAL- suspected bowel rupture.

[DemonLad5 1,640]

I have the most annoying Carlton supporters at work. Will be depressing if we lose 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,333]

Just focus on our attack on ball, man and spread and the win and % will look after itself. It would be very easy for a young side to take in the plaudits of this week and already have an eye on Geelong (as some on here have) or focus on winning big rather than the process of winning. Another good test for our senior leaders to lead the way.

Let's remember it's (possibly/probably?) Roosey's last game at the G.

if nothing else, Dees, turn it on for us to thank the man!
