A lovely morning for GF.  Shame we are not there.  Hoping for a good game of footy.  Share what you are up to and your thoughts on the game (to take our minds off Hogan and Freo for a little while...)

    Feel a bit for Dunne.  He did the hard yards with us, didn't choose to leave and didn't mess us around when it was time to go.  Found a niche for himself and has performed well.  Missing out on a career long dream is tough especially has he may not get many more chances.

    Not barracking for the Pies tho'...

    It’s a funny one this year. It was a lot easier to get into the GF excitement when we were cellar dwellers. Now there’s that pang of ‘so close’..

    Go Weagles for 2 reasons: 

    - we’d be able to say ‘ah well , we got beaten by the eventual Premiers’.

    - under no circumstances will I ever have the ability to barrack for the Filth. 

     

    We’ll be there soon, my friends...

    The game will be tough to watch. A good time to do some household jobs I have been putting off for a long time.  I might just go for the Magpies to win because last Saturday at halftime my mother in law who lives in Perth called me just to remind me how well WC were playing and lauding their beautiful kicking. Like she never calls me direct unless she normally wants something so obviously a naked example of rubbing it in.  I will be more than happy to offer my sympathies if they lose. The only small positive I can wish for.

    Agree, no enthusiasm or interest in today’s game. Still grieving we came up short.

    Well, just saw that ‘ScoMo’ (what sort of [censored] nickname is that anyway??) will be cheering for ‘Perth’ today. 

    Kiss of death.

    We could have been there but such is life. I will watch over a few beers and a Parma but no emotion. Also don’t care for a close game, I’d be more than happy for a whitewash this year as long as West Coast are the ones washing.

    I’ll open a bottle of a cheeky Shiraz, have a cheese board, put on a Mahler symphony and read some Stoic philosophy in Ancient Greek, as all Demon supporters would.

    I’m sitting outside gate 1 waiting for my husband to meet me here. So many Pies supporters - I feel dirty. Joffa and the gang on their way over the footbridge chanting ‘Collingwood’. Got my antiseptic hand wash ready.

    Just walked past Andrew Gaff who looked surprisingly cheerful. No where near as big a bloke as I thought he would be.

    Its going to be a long afternoon....

    Early Channel 7 coverage has Oscar MacDonald winning the final of the longest drive off the tee competition they have been running during the season. 292 meters, that’s up there with the tour guys! I think he plays off 1. You wouldn’t pick him as having exceptional hand/eye coordination sometimes on the footy field. 

    Well done, won a set of Taylor Mades and the gold jacket.

    Worth a watch if you didn’t see it. 

    Good man Joffa. Puts all the million dollar trades and billion dollar rights deals into a bit of perspective. 

    “Quite a few people out there won’t have eaten very well the last few weeks tucking a few dollars away to pay for a finals ticket.”

    Honestly don’t care who wins today but if he’s waving that stupid gold jacket around at half five pm I’ll be happy for him.

    Really not that interested but like all Grand Finals I will watch. I hate the filth so I would like to see the cokeheads beat them by 1 point and then see McGuire squirm like a maggot ducking for cover.

    Seeing Pies go down with a goal after the siren, would be worthwhile!

    But hard to barrack when hate both!

    Agreed. I am on my way to the game and am not looking forward to barracking for team that knocked us out of the finals. Support the Pies for the day, no way.

    Came out in the MCC ballot so may as well make use of my $695 a year membership. 

    Go Eagles ???

    It will be a good game to watch. Don’t support either.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
