Got to watch the trampolining and now the diving in the Olympics and because of no footy can get all our friends together for dinner out tonight. 
Silver linings all around!

Reckon we would have been better served with the late game. Nearly in a plane all of today but at least a game will go ahead and can watch up here on TV. Must win this.

I don't know if this is good or bad ?

no doubt that it's an early game as we'll be on a flight to perth straight after

Need to hope for a WA border closure over night or early tomorrow… come on!

Coll upset of Eagles brewing ?

So hope Eagles win - last thing I want is to play them at Optus on the rebound after being humiliated on the east coast again.

Interesting how it's only other teams that 'get up and are hungry' after a loss, never the Dees.

Each game is an individual entity - and has no baring on the next.

Unless you believe that the only way to win, is permanently having  no confidence the week before playing the Dees, unless you win and in which case, you're supremely confident? [censored], it's even confusing for me to make sense of this logic.

Surely we have been the most interrupted by CoVID:

One of only 2 teams to play a game knowing the rest of the season is postponed.

The only team to have had a game postponed because an opposition player tested positive to CoVID.

The only team to travel for no reason, because a lockdown was called mid flight.

And the only reason we can’t lose our [censored] about it to headquarters is because of CoVID we’ll need to put our hand out for the 800k+ we’ve lost in gate revenue.

We have had a few games in the last two years where after a poor game/loss we have rebounded.  Not sure why you say 'never the Dees'.

The Eagles have made an art form of rebounding from east coast losses then win at home this year.  Each game may be a 'separate entity' but don't underestimate what wounded pride can do when a team is back on its own turf.  

Yes, couldn't make much sense of your last para...

I'd argue it's not an artform - they play worse over here, and more consistent at home. Is it merely some CBF's for them when they're here? Maybe... 

It'd be great to get some stats, on teams, or interstate teams that win back home after losing interstate. Debatable if it has a thing to do with pride/emotions.

Fox listed the game as Gold Coast subs vs MFC. What does that mean?

Eagles are a soft downhill skiing team. Would rather they lose and have their confidence down going into next week, as opposed to winning on the road and getting some momentum trying to sure up a spot in the 8.

We didn't play finals last year, so we're behind every team that did.

They will wait till we are half way there, then put us a 14 day hotel quarantine. 

Finally some luck for us. From Darwin to an away game in GC to a home game. 

get it done Demons

Happy with this one, just hope the lads can get us a win? 

Go Dee's?
