Just got to win today. No excuses. Win and we get a 6 point buffer on the dons and keep ahead of the giants and dogs on percentage. 

I must admit I'd rather see vanders in there instead of neal bullen but I do hope the Weid can have a really good game today.

What will the conditions be like? 

As if all us southerners aren't aren't suffering enough D11.

No work, no footy, no finals here, the GF stolen from our magnificent G, no men's bars (wait, is that an essential service!?) and here you are bringing up the 'perfect one day' factor.

May the fleas from Gawny's sacred beard infest your armpits!

Via Zoom?  Thought about pre-recording your responses?  Hit the play button and your away GC!

MFCSS radar station is on full alert.

 

The Darwin games last week were rubbish to watch because of all the sweat dripping onto the ball. Likely to be the same in Cairns? 

I’ll take 4 points in any conditions, but hoping we at least get a dry ball game.

Wasn't aware of this. Is it available on replays? 

Its not an option. I wish it was. I hope it will be

I've asked demonland to use his social media clout to start a viral, online campaign to convince kayo to include it as a replay option. Crickets so far, so i thought i'd try out a hash tag. Too long?

The game is now sold out. Max pax is 13,500 but there is no way they have got that at a 4.40pm Thursday game. I’ve found a figure of 25% of capacity so maybe around 3,500?

Many Demonlanders have their wish - Harmes will play in the midfield.

Source?

If it's just your conjecture, then I'll see you and raise you Harmes in defence and Smith forward/relief ruck

I will approach all four of our final four games the same way: with extreme nerves.

Our form against the weaker sides this year has been solid (comfortable wins over Adelaide, North, Hawthorn and Gold Coast). But with the significance of each of these final games comes pressure, and we all know we've struggled with expectation before.

We should have Sydney covered. They have been distinctly mediocre all year. Their win over GWS was exciting but IMO an outlier. Their only other wins have been vs Adelaide, North and Hawthorn (and each of those was by less than two goals). Since beating North in Round 3, all their losses have been by at least 26 points except two: Richmond (a well-publicised defensive slog) and Collingwood (Collingwood's inaccuracy kept the Swans in it but Collingwood dominated most stats). And they're missing a handful of key players.

And this maybe why I smell a huge dump of complacency looming overhead - hopefully just a cumulus nimbus

Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

Geez GC you ain’t having much luck. I’m lucky that firstly I still have a job but still am working from home so time of the game is irrelevant to me. 
 

Good luck and just talk fast and it will be over in plenty of time.

So I consulted Titus O’Reilly and he’s very philosophical about the game:-

“As for the Swans, their painful season is at least approaching the endpoint, but they always give it a go, which worries me.

Why can’t they just give up when things are hopeless?

I mean, I give up when things are mildly annoying, but that might explain why I have achieved very little, while the Swans makes finals almost all the time.

That’s my big worry in life. That trying is what makes the difference, not destiny and that exhausts me.

I’m tipping Melbourne, just to really hurt myself.”

I see we are in the black out zone again. I swear if we made the Gf channel 7 would have a black out and  it would only be on Foxtel. Oh well I will be checking the scores and watching high lights package later tonight. Yes I know I could join Kayo, but for watching the dees for 7-8 games over 6 months it hardly seems good value when I have already paid a membership that I cannot use. The joys of being a MFC member never cease.

In a year when prime time has been comparatively easy to score we have been royally screwed. 

Don't forget you can get a free three month kayo sub by taking out a free Bet easy account. (And you can just renew it for free again .. weird)

Tipping a statement today. DEES by 50

  • 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.

    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?
