There is no doubt how clever the technology is that shows ads on Demonland that reflect interests, concerns and likely sales opportunities. 

An excellent example is this ad with a picture of my face showing my frown and worry lines that is featuring prominently on my game day thread (best i don't mention the others):

The mind boggles as to what kind of ads bbo recieves!

Really hard to tell what that bit of rain out West will do by the time it gets to the GC (if at all...).  Either way, think it's most likely to be fine most of the time...

Well your the man on the spot,  local knowledge  and all that, still looks like a band of rain but not that much after that, but it can change  Enjoy the game and barrack hard   Go Dees

I’m sure we will find out if it’s raining when we get there. ?

Considering BOMs record I’m sure we all have a chance of being right  

 

if i'm any judge on the speed of the radar (doubtful) rain will hit the gold coast around the 2nd quarter ?

 

MFCSS kicking in strongly. Not confident.

    Can’t see us winning this. We smashed Hawthorn who are proving to be a bottom 4 team and young GC side who are inconsistent. Let’s not get carried away. 
    Brisbane are the form side in the competition. Their back line will make it hard for our forwards and their mids are as good as ours and use the ball extremely well going forward. 
     

    I think we will lose by 5 goals. We are a borderline top 8 team. They are a top 4 team and my flag favorites. 

    I might change my tune in 5 hours, but Brisbane have had a pretty easy run so far, beating Adelaide and Freo, out of form GWS and WCE (we got them at the wrong time!) and being smashed by Geelong. All of their wins have been at the Gabba (except GWS ALat Giants Stadium). They did beat the 2nd place PA which sounds good, until you realise PA have basically beaten the same teams: GCS, Freo, Adelaide, Eagles and GWS (and stuck in against Carlton).

    It week be interesting  see how they go against us, Collingwood, Richmond, saints and dogs.

    Yeah, that rain band seems to be building as it gets closer.  Looks like we might get a bit in next coupla hours.  Hopefully it'll have passed well before game time...

    (Since 10am this morning until just a few minutes ago it has been clear and sunny...!)  Starting to cloud up a bit now...

     

    Don't discount the fun in a proper downpour being unleashed if that rain band hits the Gold Coast right as the temperature drops in the evening. Throw in just a little bit of backing up on the spot due to the heat island and one lucky push of wind back in from the coast at the right moment... Fwsooosh and only Gawn's eyebrows will be above the water line.

    Tonight's the night, even the weather is going to be epic (as the kids say these days).

    Yes, same here, I’m afraid. I think I shout at the TV either way. I realised last week that I ‘ride’ the team home, if they are winning, much like someone who has bet a $1000 on a horse!


    Is this get game day thread or the weather channel?? ?

    Such wisdom. I feel as though I should be trying to snatch pebbles from the palm of your hand.

    We are getting very technical on the weather front.

    Maybe the local Dees on the Gold Coast heading to the game can give us an update upon arrival and just before the first bounce.

    rain belt accelerating

    estimate hit surfers in 45 minutes....more than a shower

    duration maybe 45 minutes........so ending about 20 minutes before kickoff

    At the end they highlight what a lot of us have been saying about Lockhart, hard running and shutting down options.

    That's great vision of his run to cover McEvoy.  Something small but easily missed, and just an example of why they like having him in the side.

    Going to be a slippery one, hopefully not too heavy on the track as we've got a quick turnaround this week.

     

    Not raining at the NRL at Robina. Ground looks fantastic too.

    A fantastic highlight of Lockhart's hard work.

    Glad he's getting the rewards internally because he sure as hell ain't from some of the fickle supporters going around here.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
