    Being a Friday night, chances are Carlton is one of the teams in the curtain raiser.

    A Channel 7 directive apparently.

    Understandable given they were power club in the 70s and early 80s....


    Finished work and on my way to the g. I'm not nervous yet but its weird to think im going to watch my team play finals footy. 

    I got asked if could do a double shift tonight and said no way im off to the footy finals.

    I  just hope our young players don't play like the hawks youngsters last night. They were like deer in headlights

    10 mins to go. Beat traffic (hopefully). Get home and kiss the little one. Neck as many bourbons as possible. Get on train. Become nervous wreck.

    In WA and was going to watch at the paddo with western dees but feel too nervous . Will sit at home with a shandy or two. Lose and will mope around , win wish I had watched at pub but be glad I didn’t as I would be a wreck on Saturday!

     


    Almost time for my early exit.  It's been a very unproductive afternoon.  Heading in from Geelong on the train with my 16 year old son.  Been waiting for this moment for 12 long years.  

    Hopefully the players are feeling much calmer than I am.  Go Dees!!!

    Sounds like dees supports may need their own AA branch!

    About to arrive at the Duke for a few calming pre-game Boags. 

    Coopers pale long neck at ponyfish island , such a melbourne thing to do . 

    Was frightened to see the speed of the game last night , have we produced anything this season that resembles that ? Probably not 

    we are cleaner and trying for bigger things hopefully we can play our game tonight. 

    Cmon demons

    Well I wasn’t about to stand there and scull it out of a brown paper bag in front of everyone.

    At 10pm tonight it would have been a different story.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
