Coz I’m wearing a Dees beanie! And a Dees face mask. And MFC socks and I’m carrying a Dees tote bag. I’m already up in everyone’s grill as it is!

Just remembered: I’m wearing my Demonland t-shirt too. But relax everyone! The DL t-shirt sustained no coffee besmirching. Phew. 

Fabulous! And a little bit sorry I asked.

    I don't see Brisbane as having quick ball movement. They're very slow and methodical coming from their d50 to minimise turnovers. Happy to kick to a contest where their talls come up from the Fwd line.

    Its then they try to go quickly and they get quite a few goals over the back. 

     

    Ooooh, I just twitched remembering all those over the back goals in past years

    Brissy went out in straight sets last year. Chris Pagan won't like another loss in a major final and this team will give plenty. 

     

    They got to the preliminary last year by beating Richmond in week one, but getting rolled by Geelong in their second match. You are thinking of 2019 (when they were stiff as well in losing to Richmond then getting pipped by GWS).

     

    I’m more nervous than usual. Last week was huge emotional high. I hope we don’t come down from it.

    Saw a stat today that when Cemron kicks no goals, Brisbane are 0-3. If he kicks 3 goals, they are 9-0.

    They also had 5 guys kick more than 25 goals.

    Very nervous about their firepower.

    Brisbane are two years older and more experienced, are in their prime and into their 3rd consecutive top 4 finals campaign, if we win it will be against the tide ...

    Every HS tipster apart from one person and the Kiss of death tipped us to win.

    In the age, no one tipped the Lions.

    😬

    We’re red hot favourites no matter how you look at it.

    I hope you're celebrating a famous win for the Dees tonight along with the rest of us. As for the old firm game, I'm hoping the Bhoys give Rangers a tonking

    Great Post Pollyanna. Thats a substantial age difference.  The interesting stat I reckon is we have 10 players to their 5 with 100 to 150.

    I suspect these are the Olivers, Tracs , Langdon, Lever, Hunt, Brayshaw etc .. Which are now young but experieneced . c..f. Lions. Could be an advantage, or at least a very bright future for the Dees in what is a 5 year journey starting tonight towards a Flag.  We will win inside this upcoming window.

    I suspect it will be next year, but hope I am wrong.

    Port is being oversold today, with the media ignoring the clear warning signs in the Cats list.

    Cats were my big worry - but not anymore.

    My only concern is the number of young players who haven't played in a final before

    I am not too concerned. 

    A couple may get overwhelmed, become fumbly and make errors (could be the experienced players as well), but I think with the balance (old and new heads) of our team they should be fine. It may also help our youngsters, as there are no preconceived ideas and may free them up.

    Some could stand up as  being made for finals. Hoping that is Pickett, Rivers, Petty, Sparrow and Jackson.

    Am I hoping for too much?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
