GAMEDAY - Round 21

F I hope our boys can get the job done today.  Would be an awesome feeling heading into the last two rounds with a finals spot all stiched up and just playing for form and the best possible ladder/first round finals position.  IF we win, I think it would leave Sydney, Port, Geelong and North as the teams fighting it out and most likely to miss. 

Certainly not counting any chickens at this point though as we were more or less in this position last year and lost a very winnable game to North that essentially torpedoed our finals push.  However this morning I am viewing the footy world with optimisim that the worm has turned that through trials and tribulations of the past few years and this season we have reached a point of maturity that we have the fundemental footy stocks, resolve and composure to win these big games.

Carn the Demons bring it home - finals 2018 and beyond!!

    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.

    Dude, wtf?! 

    Win and we play finals!

    It is only because we are Melbourne they we aren't considering winning all three and bouncing into the finals with a shitload of momentum.

     

    I believe next week is a more important game than today. This will even be more so if we get done today.

    I hadn't done the maths on the percentage equation, but considering the respective opponents, those winning/loosing margins are pretty credible.  

    I recon if we win today though, with the confidence and beleif that will build we will win at least one, if not both of our last two games.


    I know this question gets asked a lot but I never pay attention to the answers. 

    Where is a good pub in Melbourne to have a parmy and pint before the game? Somewhere where there might be some other Melbourne supporters?

    Yes, its certainly possible.    I wish I hadnt done the math.  

    Oh well, lets just win win win.

    8 hours to go. Gotta find something to pass the time!!!

    i am quietly confident today. 

    Our biggest game since round 23 last year. Stand up demons!!

    I'll be sanding my back deck this morning.  You could come over and do that for me if you want to pass some time.

    Hopefully it becomes an analogy for this afternoon - 'grinding the Swanies into the ground!'

    How big is your deck?

    Gee what a big 3 weeks. I have no idea what will happen today. But I hope we win and it doesn't come down to the last few minutes. 

    No injuries, hope frost contains buddy and hogan and tommy dominate up forward. 

    Come on melbourne get the job done.

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

    I like my dream better, yours is a nightmare

    The results so far this weekend really have given us a golden opportunity to ( almost) guarantee a finals spot with a win today.

    The old Melbourne, the one we know only too well, would come out today flat as a tac, and not look like threatening for the entire game.....

    But thats the Old MFC..... Isnt it?

     Today we can show we are the real deal. Its time... 

    Go Dees.

    Forget Gawn , Oliver , Hogan, and Tom. Our most important player today is Frost.. if he holds Franklin to less than 3, we win

    Agreed.  I like the euphoria of close wins, but I'm not sure my cardiac system can handle too much more of the raised blood pressure that precedes them.

    Don’t agree, I reckon it’s based on our form over the past 19 games. We choke when playing a decent team

    Yeah.

    I guess there is hope that we win a clutch game and confidence and momentum grows from there.

    Historically that's how it happens.

    It's been an incremental build.  That's the next stage.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
