If we do play in Sydney week 1, I suggest jumping in early to get flights. 

All the frequent flyers (me included), will be on the Qantas website trying to score freebies with points. 

The real question is, fly in fly out, or fly in, stay the night so you can drink post match, then fly out? 

Hopefully we win on Sunday and get to play at the G. 

It will be a Night game and fly out option is not on due to airport curfew. Need to stay unless driving back.

36 points or more gets cats % above dees.

Loser standing small ...

As it happens, I'll be in Sydney the weekend of the first finals. Needless to say, if the Demons are playing there, I'll be there (+ 3 offspring... all Demons' supporters).

Dees 80% likely to play Geelong at the G during the day! 

I hate night games!

I'm being selfish but I would much prefer a night game because I'm over in London. Really would prefer not having to wake up at like 5-6am for our first final in over a decade!

Warning THIS IS A RANT.  I have never been to a final before.  My husband (hawks) has been to a zillion finals plus 4 grand finals.  You know what he said when I told him I would be road tripping it to Sydney if we end up having to play there?  "You aren't single anymore, you have a family & kids to look after.  Plus your team is not the only team in the finals (i.e. if you go to Sydney I have to stay home & MIND MY OWN CHILDREN & hence will miss out on seeing my team play finals".  My response "ok ok, we will cross that bridge if it comes to it, stomped out the room & yelled BUT I AM GOING & YOU CAN'T STOP ME....!!!  Bloody selfish poos & wees supporting husband.....  Rant over.  Thanks for listening my fellow demons :-)

Go Deeby, I'm with you on this. When we have won 12 premierships since Hawthorns last I will agree with him. 

NB:- in 1964 Melbourne had won 12 flags - Hawthorn 1

               2017 Melbourne 12 - Hawthorn 13

Toughen up hubby, time to look after your kids, go Deeby!

Your first mistake is marrying a hawks supporter..... 

My missus WAS a norf supporter I told her I would buy her what ever she wanted from tiffany and co to ditch the [censored] jumper and get a dees one. 

She now wears the demons jumper proud up here on the GC every game day with out question. I have also been given the all clear to travel to where ever I need to watch a final this year. 

My problem, I dont want to miss the granny so I dont want to fly to melbourne early just to watch us knock off the cats.

Please tell me the children are little dees???


Wouldn't go astray to beat GWS by 50 plus either.

Tell your hubby this sort of rubbish might have been acceptable when we last won a flag. But not in 2018.

Even if we play the first final in Melbourne you should book a beaut room at the Pullman (the old Hilton), have a slap up meal at some flash restaurant (but not with him - dees fans only) and then before the game a big buffet breakfast before strolling to your premium seat ta the g to watch us smash the Cats.

Get ahead of the game and book a room for the following week and hope we play the hawks and make sure he knows he has to look after the kids (because you are more organised).

Out of interest.... Have we ever played at the Sydney Showgrounds?

I can recall playing GWS at Manuka but cannot say I can recall a Showgrounds game. Mind you GWS v MFC matches were never big on FTA.

Yes, we've had some stinking bad performances out there.

In 2013 we let GWS have their only win of the year, and they steamrolled us in the last to win by 6 goals.

In 2014 they also won by 5 or 6 goals in the wet, however I think we had 1 goal on the board at half time.

Won't change our position on the ladder though, we will finish 5th regardless of margin.

Would be a great confidence booster though !

GWS V Melbourne week 1 (if it happens) may actually be at 3:20pm or 4:20pm Saturday Sep 8 rather than 7:45pm.

The AFL likes to have 2 Saturday games, and a possible schedule could be as follows:

Thursday night - West Coast V Collingwood

Friday night - Richmond V Sydney

Saturday twilight - GWS V Melbourne

Saturday night - Hawthorn V Geelong

 

 

 


If we happen to play GWS at Kebab Stadium, what day will tickets go on sale for MFC members? Is it likely to be sunday night at the conclusion of the game, or more likely to be Monday 9am?

 

Edit: Pointless post. My apologies. I found the info on the AFL site site. Says Tuesday 9am

Time to put the foot down Deeby

So it's pretty much Geelong or GWS first game unless something silly happens to Collingwood or Hawks vs syd is a draw?

Would not want to be playing Freo at over there after last week. Expect them to really take it to the filth.

I hope that they bury the filth. Be wrapped if we play Tigers Round 1 of the Finals!

I would be so happy to make you happy. I think our boys would be feral if we met the Cats in a final. Defeat would just be unacceptable to them.

Surprising this year, we all wanna take on the top team. Now

hahah this is perfect - also pretty suitable for Aussie politics right now (change Goody, Bucks and Lyon to... well, take your pick)!

Edited by RedButMostlyBlue

Thank you all for your words of encouragements.  I particularly liked your suggestion Binman about a night at the Pullman.  Yes I should have known better than to marry a hawks supporter.  But hey, can't win everything can you.  Re my kids, no way in hell would they ever wear the horrid brown & yellow.  NEVER EVER EVER.  Enough of those around my neck of the woods.  Enjoy this exciting time demonlanders.  And keep up the (mostly...) brilliant posts.  Roll on the finals!

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
