Waiting, waiting, waiting...

I have the day off today Ā (well sort of) and just sitting on the back deck on a gorgeousĀ Brisbane spring day, thinking how foreign it feels to still be playing finals footy this time of year.

If we can pull it off and go all the way this year, it would be one of the best wins in the heat of the fugazi ever. Ā The media and opposition fans are all over us like a rash at the moment. Ā It's nice, but I'dĀ

No idea, but I strolled in at 7pm last week.

Would you?


Yeah, I didn't get there until about 7.15 last week and went through gate 4 in less than 5 minutes.

... I know how long because I had been nagging my wife to get there early as it would take us at least half an hour to get through the gate. She timed it while we were waiting and then reminded me how pointless my nagging had been roughly every half hour for the rest of the night.

Without a bag it was very quick about 7pmĀ vs Cats

Yeah the slightly sick feeling has just kicked in and the concentration is out the window.

Have been pretty modest about our chances with the Hawks fans here. I do think it's another coin flip game and won't be writing them off. I am confident that we can play and am expecting a 4 quarter belter.

Will be getting away at 4 thankfully and heading to the Mountain View at about 5 :)

Work non existant. Hungry jacks just consumed. (Worked last week) Nervous more for the fact I've already paid $700 to go to Perth next week. Hope I'm not dissapointed. Should win but who knows.

This game is simple. Win the midfield/pressure battle and we win.

We have the scoring firepower, just need to get the game on our terms.

Go Goody, and Go Dees.

No idea. Long I'd imagine. They have aeroplanes these days.

I cunningly planned my work flow this week to have all the intricate stuff boxed off yesterday. Monday is totally setup.

Now to while away the next 2 hours sneakily browsing Demonland!Ā Ā

It’s a long way, best done with young kids.

Landed but so tired. Had a lovely old lady snoring louder than a Massey Ferguson under fullĀ load and passing enough wind that half the plane was reaching for the oxygen masks Ā 

Looking forward to hopefully catching a few Z’s this morning before grabbing aĀ coffee and the rag for a peruse.Ā 

Where’s pre game hydration take place?

Hopefully you were kicking against the windĀ

Very smart! Wish I was that diligent!

Luckily, my desk setup makes it clear that I have my mind on the job today...

Ha! I've got my jumper hanging on the wall above my monitor! ;)


Feeling very relaxed.Ā Ā  We are going to blow these muppets off the park.

Winning a flag aside, I can think of nothing better than eliminating Geelong and Hawthorn in consecutive weeks in the finals.Ā Ā Ā

THANKS to those that posted about how long it took them to get in to the ground last week. I can't there until 7 and thought I'd miss the start - from your posts it appears that should be fine. One thing less to stress about! LOL

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facingĀ Ā intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.Ā

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’sĀ performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
