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 ...

Same here but not too well DubDee!

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

To all those SA dees supporters going to the game, so darn happy for you guys.  Go proudly, cheer loudly and raise hell for all us Victorians who literally are in hell.  

Sacrificing a goat to the footy gods this arvo for straight kicking tonight.

Current just ticked over 12pm here in Albury.

Too early for a beer?

Glorious day here on the Victorian/NSW border.
No cases within 2hrs drive and cannot leave the yard without being interrogated and having my papers checked by Dans gestapo.

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.

We will do this.

Kozzie to have a day out.

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
