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

    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: 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.

    • 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.

      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.
