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.

    Feeling very vulnerable in my dees scarf on this train right now. If you never hear from me again I've probably been abducted by Eagles fans.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
