I'm sick in the guts, wanting to vomit but the anxiety is telling my brain don't spew. HUGE GAME! Time to hit the frothies.

I work in a liquor distribution centre and don’t finish until 7 or so tonight. How do you think I’m travelling?

    Came home to a bonus 6 pack of beer from the wife who knew the game was on tonight.  

    I take this is a good omen.  Dees by 6 goals.

    She's definitely a keeper! Enjoy the game.

    I did it last year early on the piece, but the laptop I was using fried the hard drive so I no longer have the analysis and I CBF doing it again. It certainly showed there potentially were umpires 'favouring' different teams and vice versa, however there's no real way of knowing without identifying each individual umpires free kicks.

    Of the one's I consider the big three, Razor, Pannell and Nicholls, 2 of them were generally involved in negative counts for us, but one of them was definitely a big positive. I thought it was very strange at the time, and I can't remember which one it was.

    Like I say I've lost all the stuff, however I do have AFL umpire appointments data from 2015 to an early round last year. I initially asked the AFLUA for it, but they flicked me off to the Victorian Library or something. Thought that was quite odd as well.

    Just got home from a gruelling work week , feeling a bit crook, struggling to keep my eyes open... carn Dees wake me up!! ??

    SEASON DEFINING GAME TONIGHT!

    Make no mistake, Essendrug have shown us how to do it!

    NO excuses, We must be relentless, gut run to space, be accurate in front of goal, and put some clamps on Grey, Boak and that bloody Westhoff who I cant stand!

    Don't care how we do it as long as we do 

    Loss tonight quite rightly labels us as PRETENDERS!

    WIN and we might just be onto a finals appearance!

    Mine called me at work to see how many to buy while she was at the bottlo. Silly question really, nice of her to ask though!

    Tomald to kick six.

    Silly question is correct.  It's always a slab - enough to celebrate a win, enough to drown your sorrows if we lose.

    Agree with you Picket. Lose tonight and we will struggle to gain momentum. Tough run home. 

    A win on the road can restore belief

    Absolutely packing it...I hate watching on tv

    Me too. I need to do something else to keep my mind off... any suggestions?

    My confidence has grown through the week. Thought Garlett would be in. Smith worries me as this is s massive game and I would of gone with Garlett, Weideman and kept Spargo. Would of dropped Hannan/Harmes for Tyson and played Jones on the wing.

    Hope there's no need to switch to Melbourne Bitter.

    Let’s hope the port fans get to drink plenty.

    Wish I was a drinker. I’m away at a yoga retreat and I’m not supposed to use my phone. ?.

    Think I will go and have another green tea and meditate positive thoughts towards this game.

    Might duck out later and have a sneaky look at my phone. 

    Go Dees ❤️?

    Your needs satisfied with an extra  (can) opener that might just come in handy later!!??

    Holy shut the door!  

    2KW bar nice and pricey.... plenty of Dee’s scarfs around but not a single Port bogan in sight. ?

    One of my best mates works in the local brewery, he was kind enough to give me a slab Last week, it’s been sitting in the garage and down to -1 the last few nights, will be nice and cold when I put some in the fridge shortly.

    I sent the goodly wife a text, who is 8.8 months bursting with our second little demon asking her to record the game and rewind it so I can watch it from the start after I put little demon number 1 to bed... “it’s ok, you bath him and I’ll put him down”.

    I knew she was a keeper.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
