I was at the Western Oval Match in 1987. Today doesn't have the same feel.

1987 was at a suburban  oval which Demons  had to win after a long run .of wins. And was dependent on Hawthorn beating Geelong.

If Demons lose today, they will in all likelihood still make the finals.

I liked, as I too was there...transistor radio with earplug. I swear we spent as much time looking at those 'letters' on the scoreboard as watching the game. 1987. Who can ever forget...and lament...so...So...SOOOOOOOOOOOOO  close !!

I don't want to entertain losing. If we lose id rather just bow out and regroup for next year. I want to be fair dinkum in the finals irrespective of how far we go.

We'll know all about today, and our season,  in the first 10 mins

well, about to head out

Go Dees

In 2 weeks finals begin, if we can't win today or just scape in how do honestly expect to win a final, even against Richmond. Time to cut the crap and put a side a way. 

 

Very nervous and been on edge all morning.  Whilst we've had many big games since 1987, the anticipation as a 15 year old seeing my boys play in September was unbelievable. Back then it was the most important thing in my life.

The 10 year drought we are hoping to end today has me feeling similar even though as a much older and wiser man I know life wont end.

Roll on game time

Go Dees

Gotta love the minimalism.

Makes me want to see the unedited version tho. :mellow:


Ugh. Today will be my personal hell. 

Im travelling for work and the flight boards at half time.  3 hours later when I find out the result I'm either going to be high fiving ground crew at the airport, or crying at an Uber driver.

And to make matters worse I'm going to Adelaide.

I can so relate to all of this. I was 15 in 1987, still remember how amazing getting to the finals felt.

And I too know that the world won't end today if the worst happens. There are bigger things going on- believe it or not. Like the fact my father isn't around this time, and all sorts of other things too.

Still got excitement building within though. Good to see many other Dees fans on the train.

Did you shoot it?

The start is the key - we come out with intensity and intent we win comfortably, if we don't then it's going to be stomach churning day

big max needs to stand up as had a few weak games and grundy is good...I'm sensing a big game from Max

do this Dees 


Haven't been this nervy/excited going to a game since the early - mid 2000's . Confident, but you never know really.

Hoping there's just as many Dees fans as Collingwood there today, make some noise people that are going.

Swine flu that could kill a grandma has returneth - but, much to Ailsa's disgust, dragging bones in & can't miss it. Apologies in advance if I'm within transmission range. 

Into the breach dear friends.

If it makes you feel better, I traveled last year in exactly the same scenario when we played the Pies in Round 4 and the outcome was positive.

Simples!  Nothing more than the power of positive thinking. The same remedy that I'm trying to take into today's game.  


I'm in Brisbane for work. Got Fox Footy at the hotel though so will be watching intently. So nervous. We are both favourite and it's a must win, which is a recipe for disaster with this team. Fingers crossed we stand up and deliver a finals appearance after 11 years!

My band is playing in the Sydney suburb of Engadine (south end of that godforsaken area known as "the Shire") which for me is a 45 minute drive.  We start playing at 2pm but I have to get there earlier to make sure everything is ready to go. So, by the time we have played and I've managed to drive back to civilisation, the game will be over. 

I am as nervous as F.

I think we need a new acronym on DL.

Super nervous! On the train so far all Melbourne supporters haven't seen a Collingwood one yet

Sounds appropriate :)

Could be time for your bands 'unplugged' performance!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
