    Jeez, you are a better man than me H_T!  Here it 10 hours post match, and I still haven't calmed down.

    I think it’s due to the confidence in the team that play for each other, the consistency observed - knowing that the boys “have got this” to get the job done. 

    Still excruciating seeing howler turnovers like we saw in the first half. But just buoyed by the support for the team - our 23rd man. Loving the MFC wave of momentum.

    We had 15 t/o's by foot in the first half.  Atrocious. For all the talk of the Hawks missing shots on goal this was the key issue. Should have been 10 goals up at the half.....

    Can’t believe how calm I was throughout the game. Must be a sign of a great side developing maturity before my eyes.

    I've been calm for most of this finals series, although when Hawthorn got back to within a couple of goals in the fourth quarter the nerves started to kick in.

    I'm still just celebrating the fact that we are even playing finals.

    On a side note, has anyone seen @Wiseblood recently? Hasn't posted since before the Geelong game.

    Of all of us, he's been the shining light of optimism over the past few years (and yes, sometimes a little too much). But I hope now he's getting to enjoy this finals run with the rest of us.

    Hey mate,

    Thanks for the tag.  I'm still around (been swamped with work, sickness, my little girl got sick as well etc) so I haven't been around much lately.  I'm hopeful that it's all passing now though!

    I've been enjoying every bloody minute of this and what makes me even happier is that I know everyone here has been enjoying it as well.  No matter how negative, positive or in between we've been, we can all enjoy this together as passionate and faithful Demon fans.  It's just amazing.

    Thanks for thinking of me and I'll hopefully have more time to enjoy this with you all in the next few days!  Go Dees!

    A holiday?  I wish, mate.  Have a bit of time up my sleeve but won't be taking it until after the Dees have won the flag in just over a week's time! :)

    Just realised that when Gunston hit the post from 10 metres or whatever that he was only one second or so away from being crunched by Viney. No wonder he missed!

    That is the eternal secret with Gunstone .... footsteps! Viney knew it and Gunstone was just lucky to put the ball on his foot.

    Why?

    I've loved this finals series, I've seen my team play great footy on two consecutive Friday nights in front of over 90,000 people both times.

    It sure beats watching on from the sidelines like we have the past 12 years.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
