We haven’t had one of these fun threads this season and it’s worked so far.

Disclaimer : This topic commenced later than the Days Since Last Loss thread. Days Since Last Loss thread is now the rightful owner of the word ‘jinx’ should we lose. :)

Fire away....

 
 

….be surprised, but a heck of a lot less surprised than most years.

This demons side is as legit as I've ever seen, and it's a wonderful thing to experience.

But win or lose I won't go read too much into it. 
Beating both grand finalists in April would be nice, but I'd rather beat them in September.

 

Be releaved that the side is finally starting to live up to its potential.

To be honest, I won't be that surprised as we really should have beaten Richmond in at least one of our encounters in the last few years.

Time we stop being intimidated by these sides.  Richmond are good, but they are not invincible.


On a serious note, I will have true belief we have what it takes to go the whole way.

Richmond are the measuring stick and they showed great form last week. We'll need to bring out best

Be surprised, due to our 6 day break and their 9 days.

but very happy, and in for a noisy celebration in Stumps 


Haha I thought we’d pleasantly left these threads behind us. 
 

I’ll shave my head like Nathan Jones and walk down Main Street, Woodend in nothing but demons gear for the day.

Jeez a few posts disappeared from this thread since I last looked

Understandably.  Thanks administrators. 


Remind myself that it is a marathon and not a sprint

 

... immediately give the middle digit to all of my mates, my work colleagues, various general acquaintances, strangers on the street, anyone who’s given me carp over the last 20 years for supporting the Demons - and then remind all of those people that I told them that we’d win the flag this year and that they know nothing, before drinking all the booze in Victoria in one single session.

That’s how I’d roll.

It’d probably lead to a few regrets by Monday morning. And possibly also a little bit of time spent at her Majesty’s pleasure.

  • 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?
