We’re coming off the back of 2 excellent performances so confidence is sky high. We coasted for a few rounds before that but I don’t want to see us coast today. The pies have been terrible but they’ll lift for Buckley’s last game you’d think. I want to see a full-blooded effort, no prisoners taken. Ultimately wins are all that matters but given the opposition and context I want to see us smash the pies

Hoping all our Sydney brethren can get along to support the team and enjoy a great win over the old enemy

I will be there again bda - hope we can rustle up a good number of very vocal Dees supporters

Who drinks Heineken?

I love 500ml cans, prefer Stella but can't get on my small town.

Just leaving from Wang!

Go Dees

Lived in Wang for a couple of years with my ex wife. Actually more so out at Markwood.

I feel sorry for you....

I used to play out a milawa despite an extreme lack of ability and fitness!

Going to the SCG for the first time today. Driving from Goulburn, just hope I don't get lost.

I'm not sure that's legal. Make sure you wear a fitted MND beanie.

I'd be more worries about what he's bringing from Wang

Good friend of mine played at Milawa... Carl Groth, I believe he took you guys to a flag a few years ago

Any idea what sort of cheque Gladys B  will be writing to us after the game?

Hopefully this is the last of the relocated games this year.

CARL GROTH!!!

SLOWLY I TURNED ... STEP BY STEP ... INCH BY INCH ...

Got 3 different pubs booked in 2 hour slots so I can get from the big freeze to the team belting out the song on licenced premises, with a few well timed short stumbles in between….

Home with Magpies husband and Demon dog this afternoon. I have too many memories  (bad ones) of losing on QB and the long silent trip home from the G. 
Go Dees. Let’s get it done.

The standard lifted with my departure in 96.

Had much more fun playing Sunday cricket for the mighty demons!

First live game in 18 months….

Just popped up the shops in my VFL retro hoodie, picked up a MND beanie for my beautiful fiancé. Before the game I’ll be breaking out the 2021 membership scarf out of its cryovacced packaging for her to wear, I’ll be running a 2014 of similar. Aiming to get to Moore Park about 1, enjoy some lunch then of to the G, the SCG.

Cant beat live footy, missed it so much.

That’s a pretty modest amount.
We must be desperate for every cent if we’re willing to sacrifice valuable MCG minutes, in preparation for finals.

Going well this year too are the Demons.  Just about lock for the flag if season can continue.

Playing in front of a crowd (any crowd) is also a big draw

Really wish I was going today! Have a great time Sydney Dees!!

By any logical measure of ability, experience, game-plan, form or class, the Dees win this by 8+ goals. Then enter the unknown impact of the Buckley factor to complicate the equation. I’m sticking with the the tangibles over the intangibles, and predicting a comfortable win to the Dees, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a smidge concerned about the alternative.  MFCSS is alive and well in the DOF household this morning.

The stats say the pies are taller, heavier, older and more games experience than us.

if we win the middle and disrupt their kick to kick setups we will win big.  Can see them running on emotion (like 60/40 green cordial) for a bit.  Gap them early and break their spirit.  Otherwise the flogs will hang in there till early in the third and we put a stamp on it.  Gawn to dominate, Weids to deliver. Go Dees

Im having a debate with a Collingwood supporter friend. How long has the QB match (Melb vs Collingwood) been going for. ie: how long is the tradition?
