Great memories of last minute of the 88 Final, last time we beat the Eagles. Hopefully today we can improve that score.

 

 

don't think I could deal with the Glendinning kick again

 

Big call but I reckon this is a season defining game. ?

    Are you serious?

    Maybe we have 23 players today!

    Yes, mate said to him we want to see a Melbourne v Coll GF and that’s how he responded. Probably trying to calm our nerves down. He was good value.

    Was up until mid night, went to bed didn't sleep very well.

    Just want the game to start, it's the b#^^*@ waiting that's making me nervous, over thinking the game match ups. 

    So proud of our club this year, well done to every one at the club for an amazing year, so far?

    Go you mighty Dee's give "m' hell boys?

    I feel perfectly calm, same as before we played them a month ago in Perth.

    That was when, while every other supporter was still freaking out about the loss to Sydney a week earlier, I promised @Ethan Tremblay his new BMX as it was like Christmas Eve the night before we seal our first finals berth in 12 years.

    Maybe this sense of calmness is a a sign - or maybe I am completely irrelevant and its just a coincidence.  I think its the latter.

    Go Dees, smash the Meth Coke degenerates.

    i dont understand why. collingwood is a much bigger threat than that of richmond and last night proved that.

    But Collingwood have already been beaten in this Finals Series (by West Coast)!  Win today and we have a very good chance! 

     

    We’re all set now this is the one that matters. In the non MFC prelim final thread I talked about the Collingwood possibilities and how tough it would be but right now all that talk and thinking goes into the bin. One thing to focus on now and it’s this game.

    Starts in the middle as it usually always does. If we do our thing and win contested ball like animals we will be a massive chance, If WC break even in that area they will win. We must, must, MUST take our chances, that will be it.

    Joel Smith got the nod as we know. I want him to keep this game as simple as possible. Use his athleticism to get to as many contests as possible and punch the hell out of it. 

    The one I have a feeling about today is VandenBerg. I think he might be about to turn in a memorable one. 

    I feel sick, excited, nervous. The whole palette of emotions. I don’t think I’m ready for this but we’ll have to be. I need to say the following for myself because I’m finding it hard to think like this but what will be will be and we have no control over it. Footy is great but life will go on.

    Come on Dees, raise hell! Like never before!

    The Eagles have played one game in 4 weeks.  Same as Richmond.  The bye before the finals has become a killer for top 4 teams that win in week 1.

    Too many weeks off is a BAD thing.  Must take advantage today.. The Eagles will not be match hardened, much like the Tigers last night.

    At the beginning of the week I went in with the mindset that we’ve exceeded expectations and will challenge in years to come even if we don’t get up today 

    Collingwood winning last night has changed my feeling. I’ll be gutted if we lose. Cmon Dees

    I was very confident against Geelong and Hawthorn, but not so today. 

    Even with a loss it's been a huge year and a portent of things to come. 

    Portent of things to come ?  Stuff portent of things to come.  You make the most of an opportunity when it's there.

    Seize the moment.

    Very nervous, and about to head out to federation square.

    If it was at the G I’d be confident, but I do believe these boys will give it everything.

    Carna Demons!!!


    Now $2.00 for the win and line is 2.5.

    The filth are in.

    Now its our turn.

    Time to re-ignite those old rivalries.

    Give em hell Dee's!

    This is [censored], wish I could enjoy the moment, but I'm not even going to watch, I'm going to sleep through it, just can't take it. 

    I’m ready for a pre match snooze, then head to bottle shop, stock up with some cold ones and watch the Demons come out on fire!

    All the talk has been about Kennedy, Darling, I’ll trump that with one Jack Viney!

    Go Dees, smash them by one plus points!

    This.

    Combined with the fact that this is a total free kick for us, with absolutely nothing to lose.

    We're on today I reckon.

    Except for Nicholls, that AFL-infiltrated spy, trying to bump us out.

    We just ran into Razor and his buddies. Told Nicholls to keep walking, we only wanted a photo with Razor. Believe it or not, he said our boys have got this. No idea what this means.

    You should have made sure he couldn't.

    I am seriously an emotional wreak.... I found my self watching a tigers mini documentary of their struggles of 2016 and their flag in 2017.... 

    I was balling my eyes out at the thought this could be us.....

    Clarrie is a man who retains his words; he does not mouth off - a keen observer happy out of the immediacy of the verbal limelight, most of the time. He knows something and keeps it to himself. His words come out as actions of the field, and in communications with his teammates onfield, between bursts. If Clarrie says: '...we got this...', we had better believe it. 

    Random thought, from a mate: 'OMac has been practising goal kicking at some depth and has done very well at it. Possibly, TMac to CHB, OMac to FFwd. Whadya reckon?'

     

    Um, he had a shouting match with a Carlton fan in the crowd last (?) year... Not sure that statement is entirely correct.

    I'm heading to Fed Square to watch the game, I hope the place is nothing but red and blue.

    2 hours to go! ?

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
