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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
