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

    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

    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 Zā€™s this morning before grabbing aĀ coffee and the rag for a peruse.Ā 

    Whereā€™s pre game hydration take place?

    Hopefully you were kicking against the windĀ

    Very smart! Wish I was that diligent!

    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

    • 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 clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” 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.Ā  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.

      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?

      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.
