Hehe, I found a box of LEGO that I kept from the 80s and unleashed that on the pests... I mean children the other day. Then I jumped on eBay and bought up a few vintage sets that I always wanted as a kid and never had! Did I take it too far good doctor Dee?!

Living vicariously through one’s offspring is a parent’s prerogative. Especially when it comes to Lego and brainwashing (I mean influencing) in regards to football. My girls favourite songs right now are ‘Happy Dog’ by Justine Clarke and ‘Grand Old Flag’.

    It’s a good thing Oscar isn’t playing on him then.

    The tonic for my Game Morning nerves has worked a treat since the Geelong game.

    Find a song and let it repeat for 5 hours.

    Mine is High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco.

    Hoping for another decent lead at the first break and making the Swans chase the rest of the game.

    No. This is completely normal. My kids are still on Duplo - can’t wait till they’re big and dexterous enough for real lego! 

    Mine wanted to see if mars was still up and where Venus was. Then the trampoline. At 6am. Now watching the PGA.

    All these finals permutations are getting confusing. Remind me again, are we cheering for or against Sydney today?

    So nervous. 

    This is the most important clash we’ve been involved in in a decade. 

    God help my heart.

    Pretty clear the early game day posters have kids under 5. ?

    Daring to believe we can get this done, lock a spot in the final-lys and start to hone our finals style game knowing that we’ll be there. 

    Hope it stays dry for the ladies.

    Here in London , got the alarm set for 6.20 am. If we get off to a quick start , ill probably wake the neigbbours . If we get off to a slow start , I’ll probably wake the neighbors——. Have positive feelings about the result , we win by 18 points ??

    Great challenge today. With the swans experience they know how to win these high pressure games and we generally don’t. Win this and it’s another step to developing the mental strength required to be one of the top teams.

    I was at Big W Saturday and they were having a sale on good lego sets. One guy bought one of the lego train sets.?

    Crunch time!  I'm very 'on edge', but I think we will stand tall.

    My MFCSS is knocking down the door at a furious rate. I believe in 14 wins but maybe today will be that loss. I don't know.

    Today won't assure us of a finals birth, but by crikey, it will go very close, especially after the Dogs upset the Roos in the curtain raiser to our game.

    Dees by at least 1 point.

    Dees by 36

    Had a dream midweek that we were down 44-1. I'm a tad nervous about how we start this game.

    This is how big today is -

    If we beat Swans and the Dogs upset the Kangas...  we are in the finals.  

    UNLESS...   Geelong win their last two by approximately 180 points combined, and we lose our last two by approximately 50 points combined.

    Oh damn I just triggered my MFCSS.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
