    5.30AM "Dad can we go feed the goats, pick some mulberries and avos and check the planets?"

    Drove all around Lismore with Dees scarf out window.

    Old bloke at work caught me at entrance with a chuckle seeing my scarf - "good luck tonight"

    It's Australia Vs the Hawks.

    Will be watching on from Indonesia. Nervous as hell. Go you Demons. An Indonesian guy here said good luck for your team. So its now The World Vs The Hawks !

    Still a little concerned tonight as I think our meeting earlier this year wouldve occured even with the 7 or so players now in. They got us on the spread as we overcommitted to the ball. And we probably still will play the same way. If it's a close game, then the Hawks simply don't lose them.

    Either way I'm not expecting any one result and will be pleased with the year in it's totality. Will of course be stressed tonight, but I think a weight has been lifted since last week. Apologies for not being manic with premiership fever!

    They got us because we played dumb footy in the wet. Different team now.

    Hawthorn were a different team in the second half of the year as they got on a big winning streak too. Can't count them out merely because we're a different team and weather won't be wet. Expecting a big fight tonight to win

    Fox Footy playing 2017 Melb Hawks. Scores level half way through the last. We looked ok, but Gee there’s a lot of players not in our current team for various reasons. Watts, Bugg, Pedo, JKH, Jeffy, Bernie, Jesse, Hunt, Wagner. And it was only last year, and we thought that side was pretty good at the time.

    Nowhere near as nervous today as I was last Friday at this time, not sure if that is a good thing or not. Can't wait for the roar as the game gets underway. I really think we've got this. We never looked like relenting last week, I can't see us taking a step back tonight. We have more talent on the ground and a game plan that stacks up well in finals. Of course we could lose, any team in the eight could lose on any given day, but I don't think we will.

    Bring it on!

    This is exactly how I feel today.

    Mind you, I'm heading to the G wearing the same clothes, at the same time, eating the same pre-game food, going to the same gate, just to be sure haha

    Well I've reached the 'feel the need to vomit' stage now. 

    1 of 2 urgent things I needed to finalise today at work are done. Now just waiting to finish a few things with China, and their 2 hour time delay is really stressing me out. Don't they know the footy is on tonight?! 

     

    On the plus side, the lucky charm is coming tonight. Last week he told me pre-game we would win by around 36 points and he wasn't far off. This morning he said we will win by 2 goals.

    Opposite for me, Hawks a far tougher opponent. Our hunger though is dead-set palpable!!

    Anxious & doing FA at work - a normal day for me.

    Jordan Lewis lifted for his 300th and was very good last week except for one lucky moment.  I expect him to really give it all tonight.

    Another who is nervous as hell despite being simultaneously confident. I hate it when we are:

    1) outright favourites, and/or 

    2) Garry Lyon picks us!

    it has rarely augered well for us in the past!

    Yeap, Imperial has cheap pints too. Now we’re heading to the rooftop at the Corner.

    I believe so....

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but players are not removed from the list until OCT. 

    Hence they still can be selected. 

    What a selection bombshell it would be if they picked Cyril...

    Yeap think that is correct and was “joked” about on one of the footy shows during the week. 

     

    Super nervous and keen for a beer 8 hours before Gawny jumps.

    Will try and time my run.

    We've been pumped up so much this week. Trying to put all of those big games we've blown over the last decade out of my mind.

    This team has transformed, this team has transformed.......


    To all those heading there tonight. Soak it in and yell your guts out.
    Go Dees!

    • 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.

      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?
