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.

Walked virtually straight in Gate 3 last week at 5.50pm.Ā  Was very easy.

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...

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

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach inĀ Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).Ā  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, basedĀ on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.Ā  At the time, the Eagles already had two winsĀ off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.Ā

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
