    I was edgy after the semi finals, felt comfortable mid-week, and am now a complete mess. I have no idea how I will survive the next 12 hours, let alone the game itself. 

    PS: GAGF NRL for putting the Storm on at the same time.

    Have disliked Scofield intensely since he dropped Oliver with an 'elbow upper cut' at a break, was reported, appealed and got off.  Media claimed Oliver took a dive.  

    I find that article extremely unpleasant and tbh disrespectful.  We were naive on and off the field but what is the point to be dredging that stuff up now.   Chest beating, ra ra by yesterday's heroes. 

    He's a former Geelong Falcon so probably a Cats supporter growing up.

    Ignore the headline. A story of a ruthless attitude.

    When I read that, I wondered why an ex Eagles player would bring that up. Doing a bit of research gave me the answer. Grew up in Geelong

     

    Nervous, anxious, excited repeat….and that’s been happening since Monday 

    im going to be a dribbling mess come game time! 

    The build up and demon support in the media for this game is pretty strong,  how can we stand two weeks of MEDIA if or when we win tonight.  Only the A game demons.  Go hard all night


    The most excruciating 2 weeks of my life - save the following 2 weeks.

    ❤️💙❤️💙

    I think the cats will deploy the same strategy tonight. 

    Stop Oliver and we'll stop Melbourne.

    I don't think they can tag him out of it but they'll try and take him out for sure. I know others will stick up for him, but I reckon Selwood and Dangerfield will be out to hurt Clarry at any cost.

    I wonder how much the umps will protect him and the scragging on him that happens every week.

    Geez the nerves have kicked in this morning! How bloody good would it be to send the Geelong aged care facility packing, short of another grand final, and head into ours in form, with momentum. 

    I do genuinely feel the winner of tonights game will be premier, port are too flakey against good teams, and the dogs are too banged up. 

    In the words of Dennis Denuto …

    Im sh!tin’ myself

    Sense of calm over me the past 2 weeks is still with me. Very unusual considering the position we find ourselves in. 

    Geelong would have to play their best game of the season and we'd have to play our worst. 

    Can't see it happening.  It's our time!

    Well they haven’t protected Oliver  to date, so why would they start now. They will be too busy dealing with the constant free kick appeals of Selwood and Hawkins.

    Whatever happens today, we have turned the corner as a football club - no question. If it’s not to be, this year, there’s one coming pretty soon. 
     

    Go you mighty Dees!

    Expecting no love from the umps. We are good enough to overcome them and the oppo.

    I'm as nervous as most - I'm using the 2018 EF as a reference point that when we bring it, and it's a hot game, we're better than them. 

    And we're 3 years better than we were in 2018. And they're 3 years closer to retirement.

    It's working for me so far.

    MFCSS is in full fashion this morning.  It is unbearable. I have to drive to work listening to Cornes on sen. Oh god !!!

    I realise it's the pointy end of the season, and we're neck deep in it, and in the drivers seat, and so everyone needs a bit of cheering up ...

    A few snippets from the GFC bigfooty match preview:

    With geelong showing at the selection table they have no intent of moving tge ball on quickly we are now look foward to next season bar some massive choke from melbourne.

    Judging by social media posts this week if we somehow beat the Dees there is going to be a whole lot of salt in the air, its unbelievable how much we are hated.

    I notice watching replays of last weeks game against GWS just how many times Cats players sidestepped and sold candy, particularly in D50. Not just Bews either. Selwood, Tuohy, Duncan. Happened so much I feel it must be an instruction. A simple action like that gains you at least 20 extra meters and an element of surprise for defensive structures oppositions set up ahead of the ball coming out of our D50.

    Dees will smash us in the ruck and will smash us in the middle...:(

     

    Most of their comments are not about tonight's match itself, but about next season and rebuilding. They've given up already!

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
