    I will relax and have lunch with a bottle of fine champagne followed by a nanna nap and a late afternoon spa visit and massage. In the evening dinner at a Michelin starred restaurant with some more champagne and some wines.

    I will do exactly the same thing if we win except that I will have a smile on my face.

    If we lose to the Hawks I will go into a nasty little sulk and not go outside my home for days. 

    If we win, of course, I will have a merry celebration and not go outside my home for days.

    Congratulate myself for taking the $9.20  on offer for Hawkthorn at sportsbet in a 2 horse race. Think I can afford  a spare $10 on a lockdown weekend. Would make loosing bareable ?

    Ridiculous odds for the hawks considering we’ve lost to the pies and crows. 
    but I can’t bring myself to put money on

    Id actually be a little concerned as to our playing and coaching group mentality and preparation.

    There is no reason why the hawks should even be getting close if we are a premiership contender.  

    Youd want to see some sort of momentum, consistency and confidence in the playing group in august september.  No season is perfect but a loss here would be next level shizen

    Wake up from my nightmare, with a smile on my face, remembering that we won the game the day before by 104 points.

    Be greatful we won't be playing the Hawks in the finals.

    Just looking at our respective ladder positions actually gives me a bit of a warm fuzzy feeling inside, like the football God's are starting to reset the football world order for good.

    Seriously that there is a regular thread tittled "If we lose to [insert random team here], I will..." really speaks to the insipid, entrenched nature of MFCSS.

    I really do long for the day when threads like this are an aberration here on Demonland.  Agree that day is not quite yet, but it's getting closer.  Personally, I think our ability to 'take out the trash' so to speak has dramatically improved over a 3 - 4 year period.   

    If you look back on the first half of the season, our ability to beat teams like Hawthorn, Fremantle, Carlton, North and to some extent St Kilda, Geelong & GWS is reasonable demonstration that we don't take any team lightly and when we do find our selves in a spot of bother against them, we usually a) arn't blown out of the water by them and then b) find a way to get the game back on our terms and eke out a win.  As much as I loath Hawthorn, I do respect the sucess they were able to achieve and how they did it.  One of the trademarks of the Hawthorn teams of their 3 peat era particularly was that even when the team wasn't playing it's best football and looked at risk of becoming the victim of an upset, they found a way to fight back, pip their opponents at the post (often through beleif and more mature game sense) and bank the wins to achieve a better ladder position to mount a genuine finals campaign.  I see alot of the same traits in our team right at present and it can only be a good thing.

    … furiously advocate, that despite another insipid loss, and not even being in the team, that Weideman still should be traded to Collingwood…

    We are not even close to being like the Hawks 3-peat team. Hopefully we can get back to form this week by beating the dogs. Tough one.  Strangely we are more confident of a win v the top teams than v the lower ranked teams.  That’s life as a Demons  supporter.

    Yeah, that post of mine didn't age well did it! ?

     

    I wasn't asserting that were were as good as that three peat team, it was more about highlighting that particular attribute of always being in games, even when we were not on top of ours. 

    While we have lost to a few bottom feeders, I would still say that we have successfully acheived being in almost every game.  Against Hawthorn and Adelaide, we were in winning positions until the dying minutes.  Against GWS, I felt we were well in it the whole game, just couldn't get them on the scoreboard effectively enough.  Only against Collingwood were we really dominated by them in general play for a substantial part of the game, even though the end result was close on the scoreboard, although that's probably still a fairly harsh assessment of our team's performance in that game.

    It's been a pretty good home and away season to this point.  How we finish off the home and away and then perform in finals will really tell what the team is made of and perhaps that's the other enviable aspect to that Hawthorn team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
