I come from a family of failed stage magicians.  I have a half-sister.

Just put it in the wrong thread. Was watching the hawks Tigers game.

4 wins Demons 

that is the mindset

Whoever it is, wherever it is played 

It’s 4 wins, get the job done

Work with each other. Challenge each other 

Yep 1 week at a time, but basically that is it.

Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime 


I really think port are not as good as their ladder possie indicates.

Even though we did a great job v them at their gome, a finals prospect is different.

So I really hope we can avoid that.

Also think the dogs are a good side but in all honesty rely on a few players more than most teams. Lets be honest they get a lot of free kicks.

The real contenders are playing tonight and i believe one of them will hold up a cup.

So an emphatic win would be great.

It gives us a home final and would put fear into other teams.

Great to have Tmac and May back in.

Also our fwd line has started to click.

This really is a mini gf tonight.

Dees by 33.

 

We either Port in AO or the Lion in a neutral venue. 
that’s the options?

It's a glorious day outside so I'm keeping busy with some landscaping until beer o'clock at around 4pm. Then I'll put my feet up and have a look at the warm up act at the Gabba before the main event at KP. How good is it having the best Melbourne side any of us have probably ever seen and knowing they will probably only get better. 

No doubt this is the best Melbourne team in over 50 years and they will get better. Only older players are Gawn, May, TMac & BBB who hopefully all have 2-3 decent years left, then you go Trac, Oliver, Salem, Langdon & Lever will be at their peak over next 5 years, look at youngsters in Jackson, Pickett, Rivers, Bowey, Petty, it certainly is exciting times. 
Now is the time to be a Demon supporter, only major issue is I’ve suffered through over 50 years of losses to get here!

Go Demons.

I think we will be in Adelaide next week, no matter which opponent.

A win for me today would be no injuries. 


They have 2 of their mainstays missing in Tuohy and Stewart, no crowd support. I also reckon their narrow ground could help our defensive structures. Think we've got this.

Go Demons.

It makes it all so much sweeter if we taste success.

A few pundits claim this is the best fwd line going up against the best backline(ours).

I think our forward line is now pretty potent as well so i think we will win.

With Hawkins injured.

Come on... What we are not allowed to say it out loud?

Alight just a mini two hour strain then.

Possibly reported as well.

 

All I hope is that I dont need a new TV after tonight.  Might just listen to the radio instead for a while to save money.

or dogs at a neutral venue if the lions lose to the eagles or win but don't make up the percentage to the dogs

Not two half-sisters?

Anyone else tense...excited...nervous?

Imagine being in a granny.

Ive forgotten  the 2000 gf excitement..build up cos it was such a bad game for us.

The 2018 prelim still lingers but went the same way as 2000.

I feel physically sick. Between this game and Covid my anxiety is off the charts.
Need to finish the domestic chores so I can relax with a calming glass of Shiraz. 

Dees 15.7 to Cats 13 10 final score

Somewhat nervous but not too bad yet. Nothing like a good bottle of Red to help calm the nerves.

  • 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?

    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?
