Balance will return with Watts getting Help from Pederson and Petracca who has played 90% midfield recently in Jonesy's absence.

Just looked out the hotel window, sky is mostly blue, some wind, but not gusty, and according to the weather app on my phone, any chance of rain will be 0% by 1:30pm at which time the temperature will be 11c (feels like 1c).

This has been a public service announcement. 

Not enough Pollies in town  ..  need more hot air

So another game day in an exciting season. I am sure we all do different things on game day and I am wondering what others do. 

This is my game day.

A game in Canberra, so a lot of supporters will be in the same boat as I am every week, unable to get to the game and watching live on a screen. 

I am based in Europe so I am 8 hours behind. Game starts at 5.45am for me. I wake 15 mins before the first bounce. Do what I have to do. Watch the first half on an iPad in bed. Come half time I have a shower, get the coffee ready and breakfast. Second half is had over breakfast. The cereal ends up all,over the table. The hangover (Italian wine this evening) is either pounding (we're losing.... ) or receding (we're winning...) it is a fine balancing act.

it really is a knife edge existence, not attending games live. It is, in some ways, a lonely existence. I can hear the crowd reaction on the visual and know why they are yelling, but I am apart from it.

so, I yell,at the images, tell,Goodwin what to do... abuse the maggots.... tell,players in no uncertain terms how useless they are...... all ok milk and cereal...

.... and then, when the game is over, I have to go,about my day... win or lose..... go about my day.... 

In the evening, in a calmer frame of mind I watch the replay with a drink or seven....

the boys will,win it today...or tomorrow.... for themselves and for supporters like us.... the ones that, no matter what the circumstances, are there, week after week watching, cheering, cursing.... wanting the rewards a win will bring.

what sort of day are others looking forward to?

 

Well.. i woke up this morning and i got my self a beer......

I've had enough disturbing visualisations from this road trip. Right now I'm thinking Thelma and Louise.

If we hit the pizz after with the players it might become Weekend at Bernies


We really should  beat them on the inside.  Hopefully this will give us enough control of the game to win. 

Midfield have to be on the ball. I just want to win.

No more missed tackles.

And no more bombing the ball into the F50.

Mind you with Pedo back in the team I feel more confident of him clunking a few.

Arousal levels high after a disappointing loss the week prior?

I'm not surprised.

And I won't be if we win.

The real challenge will always be backing it up. Against St Kilda. Then Brisbane. Then Collingwood.

Contrived arousal/response is never a real indicator of where a team is at.

Saw a three-eyed crow this morning. It croaked: 'Dees by 32 points'.

Why should we, they have a great midfield?

I'd guess South Australia. Most of those one eyed supporters have two other eyes hidden away which is why they're twice the d-heads!

Demonland on fire today, great reading and heaps of laughs, let's keep it going!

 

SWYL feeling apprehensive today, which may be a good sign as each time i have felt confident of victory this year, we have lost....

 

(quietly) go Demons...

A common symptom of apprehension is referring to oneself in the third person.

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
