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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
