Gee Josh, everything read well until you mentioned the “green death” and beer in the same sentence!  If you’re looking for a decent beer after the game try Penny Blue off Little Bourke Street.  You will be spoilt for choice mate.

Enjoy the game and Nate’s 250th.

Nahhhh, hit the Mitre Tavern in Mitre Place, off the western end of Collins Street. Best beers, reasonable prices, phabulous atmosphere and almost privately quiet for the lengthy think about football, meat pies and Holden cars.

    It’s my sons 1st birthday which I organized the party for 1:30 start, I never checked the fixture I just assumed we were playing tomorrow, so I will have to catch replay later 

    That’s just BAD parenting. Don’t worry U won’t make the same mistake twice. 

    Priorities Brendan priorities!

    Last year I remember we were paying 1.02 to make the 8 leading into round 23 

    still scarred by that , will bank it when its mathematically certain 

    a win today would be nice 

    Yep, $11 to miss the 8 prior to the Collingwood match last year.  Let's just keep winning and discuss when betting on us is suspended ?

    We are still 7.50 for the flag this morning, but i think we will soon leapfrog Sydney into 3rd spot at 6.00 by next week if we win well today.

    Just woke up in Exmouth WA, on holiday with the Fam. If you ever get the chance to dive with whale sharks DO IT!!! We (wife and two girls 4 and 2yo) went out the other day and we had an epic day. 3 islands were our tour group and they were exeptional. My girls eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw their first whale shark up close ( 3m away), a memory I will never forget.

    Wife follows Bulldogs, so me and the kids are going to be ganging up on her and trying to get the boys over the line. Looking forward to the boys playing arressive, skillfull footy such as we have been treated to over the past few weeks.

    Go Demons!

    PS Thanks for everything you have done for the club Nathan, hope you have a ripping day and the boys do you and all of us proud???

    This week to me is the test to see whether with the media circus our young team start drinking their own bath water. It’s the week to show leadership and not showboat but continue our ruthless edge. It’s the week where teams start to set themselves for us and we become the hunted. Let’s see how we handle the shift. The dogs as have been mentioned still have match winners and 10+ Quality players but it’s hard even if they win the general battle seeing them out scoring us. Best of luck to Jonesy. Had a 250 one club player ever been more deserving.

    I reflect on the past when the boot was on the other foot and we were down and out and playing a side that was in form and on top of their game. We rarely won and often barely raised a whimper after a quarter or so. 

    The Dogs are in that space right now. We will win and do it well.

    I remember when Jones first started he'd butcher the ball and lack awareness. funny how things have changed.

    Just spoke to someone in our ruckmans inner sanctum. Max did not pull up too well after Wednesday’s training. Bad headache, bit of photophobia ( probably courtesy of that hit to the head in the second quarter) but appears to have slept it  all off and now feels a million dollars. He is convinced they will win well today. Losing has not crossed his mind.

    World. Hell. Handbasket.

     

     

    lol

    I love doing dad things

    for the Carlton game my son insisted on bouncing on the tramp so I had game streaming on Foxtel app on iPad outside tramp and just a kept checking 

    The talent level between the two teams is huge and the Dogs can not kick goals. Their only chance is to make it a 4 quarter scrap and bring intense pressure, and for us to have a down game and perhaps have some fatigue from Darwin while they had an extra 2 days break.

    Demons by 29.

    Gotta get a fast start on pile on early goals, can’t allow them to get anything early and get momentum.

    I will not be going today due to the venue. If I wanted to be enclosed by steel and concrete then I would get a job in a factory.

    Besides that, congratulations Nathan Jones, go Dees!

    Not like Max to be scared of having his photo taken. Glad he’s pulled up ok, thanks for the update Jane. 

    For once, losing has not crossed my mind either!

    Heading along today and very happy to be there to support Jonesy in his 250th - he deserves a lot of thanks for sticking with the club and helping turn everything around over the last few years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
