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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
