I can't wait until Friday! All over social media not only cat supporters but plenty non demons supporters are saying the cats will win conftorbaly, that we are soft, pretenders, weak mentally etc etc. But come Friday, although I am very nervous, our boys the demons will show everyone in a big Friday night game, that we are ferocious, strong, elegant, swift and future premiers.

    Yep I prefer being underdogs- Geelong are clutching on times past - I hope the umpires call what they see on the day, go Dees!!!

    If you only read the heading then you would think he is a Richard head, but if you read the article...

     

    GEELONG'S All Australian defender Tom Stewart expects many of Melbourne's September debutants to be extremely nervous as they lace up for their first taste of finals.

    But that's not an attempt at gamesmanship leading up to Friday night's elimination final, instead just a frank assessment of where he sat this time last year in the same position.

    "Last year I put on a brave face and said I was embracing it and saying I wasn't nervous when I was absolutely packing my dacks," Stewart said.

    I was about to say that this bloke would know, given his efforts in September last year.  But he is obviously aware of his own performance!  Well played Tom.

    I think what he said on the AFL site was pretty accurate but wasn't smart on his end. That could be used as motivation.

    To be honest, and maybe this is my MFCSS kicking in, this week feels like it is leading up to the mother of all anti climaxes. The same peanuts who will carry on like pork chops if we lose on Friday are now pumping us up. This will feed into their lazy narrative of Melbourne being 'soft' and they are doing the groundwork now to raise expectations.

    Well, it stands to reason. I mean, every person in the universe thinks, feels, reacts, exactly the same as Tom Stewart. Don't they??

    The only thing I dislike about the cats is the Selwood ducking thing that we don’t see that often now .

    yeah they are cocky and have some show pony types and feel free to dislike , I admire their winning culture. 

    Bartells work in raising awareness around family issues and sharing his story has been first class as is his footy knowledge during his match call.

    I never liked bartel as a player, probably because of all the smashings, my partner goes for hawthorn so she naturally hated him, but even she said he's best special comments, actual insight into why a team is dominating or what it needs to do to get back into it. Instead of the usual "they need the next goal" or "they need to be harder at the ball". And for all the 300 game and star power chanel 7 employ in these positions Daisy's a close second, she often comes up with a bit more inside knowledge on why a teams setting up the way it is.

    Agree. Surprisingly good. ActualIy adds something to the understanding of the game - unfortunately rare for so called special comments people.

    I think Daisy is number 1 though.

    But great ammunition for our players for the game on Friday. 

    Dees’ finals debutants will be ‘packing their dacks’.

    If you actually read the article which clearly you didn't he wasnt taking a stab. 

    Stewart was simply reflecting on HIS first final only 12 months ago a said he was "packing his dacks " and reckons that the finals debutants will feel the same.

    The headline is insulting. Maybe our players are a bit tougher than he thinks.

    Its an honest assessment of how HE felt, and a guess at how he reckons our boys feel.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with what he said TBH.

    Only problem is that it will be the Cats who are [censored] themselves about facing us on Friday. They know we can beat them, and we know we can beat them.

    Cant wait for Friday.

    Agree, that’s why I thought the topic was a bit over the top, if you only read the article heading you would have thought he was having a go at us, it was his opinion, but not sure Viney will be krapping in his daks!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
