I feel so ill....it makes it so much worse that we are the favourites. 

My missus has invited a heap of people over tomorrow night too so I need to behave... 

*within covid guidelines of course* 

 

I reckon we need to put someone on Henry. He has been great At intercept marking, especially since Stewart went down. 

will be massive if we can bring the ball to ground inside 50

So am I right in thinking that the medi-sub in the grand final is just a free sub? You could freely sub any player off and say "nah they won't be good to play for 2 weeks.... :goody2:

Good deal on the Cheezles, I will have to head out in the morning. Woolies also have Lolly Gooble Bliss Bombs, which have been requested by the daughter as the celebration snack!!!

It was only 125 grams of cheezleness in a massive 10 x 25 cm box, so there are serious environmental concerns attached to putting those dehydrated corn and maltodextrin treats on your fingers like they're premiership rings and then eating them off one by one. Toobs with their wider inner-circumference probably have a better carbon footprint.


@Jadedwill probably appreciate this, but I nervous-ate 85 percent of my Cheezles already, some eighteen hours before the match. The whisky reserves have also taken a hit (not a recommended combination by the way).

I feel this very strongly in my soul. 
But stress eating is done now. I’m in stress loading. Too anxious to eat. Great for the diet. 
I’ll be knocking off work from home early tomorrow and getting stuck into the several wine bottles in my bar. I have a very special bottle of champagne that I’ve been keeping for a long time. If we win the grand final I’m going to neck the entire thing.

Jeez, I need a mylanta just thinking about that!

I reckon you’re right. If someone is having a shocker they might be told to limp off. The club would cop a fine but who gives AF?

Or they could contract the Carlton doctor of 2018 to write a certificate.

So in place off Smith out, it's Smiths in.

I wonder how much anxiety supporters are feeling is because Melbourne haven’t played for a week, we seem to have forgotten just how good we were against Brisbane.

We’ll all know inside of 24 hours. Nerves have started to kick in. 

Proud of the boys, never prouder........................make me proud again.

it might also be because Melbourne haven't played in a grand final since almost the invention of mobile phones.

Ahhhh, Toobs, now there is the comeback of the century......

I don’t remember being this nervous in 2018.

I have a $400 bottle of red that I picked up in the Napa Valley in March. I don't care if the bounce is at 03:00 in the morning over here for me in California, it's going to go down with a bloody nice cheese board to boot

Hatch and dispatch 

Geelong have named Darcy Fort as an emergency.  It was reported he rucked at their training yesterday while Stanley didn't.

Tuohy and Henderson also reportedly 'sore'.

A late change coming up?

I don’t think anyone felt like we had a real shot at a flag in 2018. Beating Geelong and Hawthorn was reward enough after 190 years of no success. 
 

We can win it this year which is so much worse.

No mention of Cameron’s hamstring? Or Hawkins’ bruised elbow?

Which makes one crave salty snacks.

 

Repeat cycle.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
