    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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
