dees189227 12,540 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 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.

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! 1

Bang Bang Bang 5,875 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 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.

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? 1

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? 1
Dannyz 3,101 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Many Demonlanders have their wish - Harmes will play in the midfield.

titan_uranus 25,268 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 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. 3

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.
Whispering_Jack 31,381 Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 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.” 8
old dee 24,093 Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 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.

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) 1
