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

How droll. Move on...

 

Nervous 

The Imodium, Maxolon and nexium are flowing at this house, along with some medicinal single malt of course.

    Just met David Neitz and Shaun Smith at the Empire Bar on Great Eastern Hwy near Burswood train station. Any Dee fans in the area could be a decent spot to spend an hour pre game with some demon legends.

    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.

    Hmm this could be a mistake. Perhaps you could have offered to buy him a chocolate milkshake?

    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.

    The break is no good. The Tigers looked soft, and probably came in believing a win was theirs by right, so they didn't respect the Pies, to their demise.

    We're coming in at full pace, full of fire, and the Eagles, much like the Tigers, probably won't have that same fire in the belly. It's imperative that we hit them early (like the Pies last night) and don't let up.

     

    Why does everyone think we will [censored] this in easy. I think we are up for a massive challenge today. Would love to see the Demons win but gut says eagles by 15pts


    Like everyone else so nervous, anxious and excited can’t wait. I really hope the players seize the moment, while we have clearly exceeded expectations this year opportunities like this don’t come around often. There are no guarantees in life and despite our list looking in good shape finals next year are no certainty, so let’s make the most of this opportunity.

    I’m feeling sick and this day is dragging on. 

    Can we fast forward to 6pm so I can choose which type of crying I need to undertake?

    Calmly watching my bees in the back paddock. Contemplating staying here all arvo as each time I’m inside I get nervous ?


    Pre game dietary and beverage regime underway.

    This feels surreal.

    This playing group has done such a great job. It would be fantastic if we could win today but West Coast at home is a tough gig. I am actually glad we go in as underdogs, and if we win today we will most likely go into next week as underdogs. That is perfect for us.

    Love that you provide solid QA on this site PD - even picked yourself up!

    Dead right too - nobody’s going to give it to us, and it’s not rightfully ours. We have to take it.

    And then GTFO as quickly as possible.

    Brayshaw was heavily tagged last week. Suspect he will be tagged again.

    need a great game from Oliver.

    Weideman will get some heavy attention and will be interesting to see how he and the team deal with it.

    Let's hope it's a great game.

    My only worry is that we go 20 plus points down and play catch up football all day.

    They will only abduct you if you owe them a drug debt.  But that happens a lot over there...

    Nicholls doesn't have any idea what that means. Nicholls has no idea about anything at all, ever. I reckon he would have trouble finding his car after the game. He probably takes a taxi as he would have trouble simply opening the door of his own car. He probably tries to get in through the boot. The bloke may qualify for some government payout for being legally blind.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
