Are you the bloke asking $450 for jousting sticks?

With COVID, it's a buyer's market. People are flogging off things cheap to make ends meet. Don't pay any more than $350, and make sure they do contactless trade. Get photos to make sure the sticks are made of pine or cypress -- if it's gum or something hard, it's dangerous and fake! Don't be a statistic.

     We would have to win 7 straight games.  Including 4 finals, which includes a prelim and a granny.

    The odds would be 1 million to  1 a best

     

    Something tells me you didn't excell at maths P2J

    This may have been covered elsewhere, but can someone tell me if we have stayed in Cairns the past week, avoiding the travel that supposedly sapped our energy, according to Goody.

    I believe we stayed 

     

    Probability of making finals is around 0.28 in my guess

    based on 70% win probability tonight

    50% against GWS and 80% against the Bombers

    Would be interested to know what odds the bookies are giving for us to make the 8.

    I'd like us to just focus on something we were no.1 in the league a couple of years ago........ guarding space. It all flows from that. If we get on the front foot early and guard space well, I think we win.

    Unfounded optimism. Nervy pessimism. Plenty of humour. Posters checking in from various points of the globe, posters getting themselves pumped. BBQ and beverage reports. Crazy score predictions. Pre-game routines. For as long as I can recall and even at the worst of times - this is what I had come to expect of the game-day thread. A ritualistic shedding of the emotional baggage of the prior week and a chance for re-set, at least for the few hours leading up to first bounce. Somewhere I could come feeling little interest in the match ahead and leave excited and fully committed to cheering my [censored] off. Now it's just a bunch of people moaning. I hope our players have their minds on the task at hand and not taking a negative attitude into the game, as we ask of them week in week out. For many of us the football and watching our club is greatest escape we have from the workaday - why not enjoy the fantasy? Go Dees.

    Hard to see us winning with this team. Plus Freo are not that bad!

    The big guns will need to play out of their skin...


    Robbo said the bombers lost so badly based on their fixture ???

    It's close to start time and I'm getting a  bit of a twitch in my ....... err nethers.

    Call me a [censored] but I also have money on the Dees.

    I reckon we'll crush them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
