Just saw Mitch Hannan at my local cafe enjoying a coffee. Looking very relaxed. Now I'm worried ?

    Good that’s how they need to be, would be exhausted by 1st bounce if they were amped up like the supporters

    I am so glad to go and watch the dees play finals again. Still have clear memories of the Northey and Daniher years and how making the finals started to not count for much until you have won the cup. And we didn't. 

    After 12 years the excitement is back but a flag is really what I want to see. As for tonites game may as well toss a coin. Really want to play the hawks next week and kick their a$%e.

    If he tells you he's looking forward to tomorrow's game against the Cats, then worry. Otherwise, don't.

    Drive there, train home (if we win) or drive home (if we lose).

    We lost the first game this year against the Cats  because Gawn could not kick straight from 25 metres out. We lost the second after the siren because we were hopeless at defending for the last ten minutes.

    So what tonight?

    Dees by 1 why? no idea just hoping it is our turn.

    Any doubts about the inclusion of Viney were dispelled for me last night watching the game between Richmond & Hawthorn. Richmond 's pressure was relentless and ultimately is what gets them over the line most weeks. They just run harder and pressure for longer. I hope our players were watching that game and took note of what it is going to take to win finals footy. JV helps give us an added dimension of ferocity at the ball and opponent probably above any other player on our list or indeed player in the comp could. I'm really starting to look forward to seeing what we dish up to the Cat's tonight. We've been better than them twice already this year, hope we will be 100% switched on from the first bounce and put them away.

    I have a feeling Viney is going to run through and flatten one of the holy-wankers at the first bounce. I can feel it in my plums.

    OK I am incredibly nervous. I know we should win tonight. If we play the brand of the last 2 games, we win easily IMO. 

    I feel like the walls in my office are closing in on me. I need to get out of here, drink beer, and prepare myself for the most important game I have seen us play since I was 13 years old (our last grand final). 

    GO YOU GOOD THINGS DEE'S!!!!!!

    Scott has made late team changes in most games this year. 

    I noticed Zac Smith is an emergency.  Scott is as sneaky as they come so wouldn't be surprised to see Smith in for Abbott  - just to throw Max and our preparation.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
