We have a few family members using our barcodes tonight ..they have bought demon gear & are firmly on the Dees. They come from different parts of Perth and all say that support for Melb is huge. They love the players..Trac ..Oliver..Gawn & of course the WA boys. I was at that stadium in 2018 & the noise has to be heard to be believed. Imagine if our boys are running out to that & it’s for them. If we have the crowd..we have the umpires …but believe the boys have got this tonight & comfortably…

    in case we lose and everyone returns to hating each other… let me just say i love you all. passionate, disagreeable and argumentative as some of u may be , you’re all part of my dee heart. It’s been a hard road to travel as a supporter and this morning I can feel how much we’re all in it together. 

    Allow me to add to this… if the worst should happen tonight, please, please don’t be too hard on our boys. Just remember what May said to Maxy just before he kicked that goal after the siren. 

    “We’ve got your back. No matter what happens, we still love you”

    And if it’s good enough for Maysie it’s good enough for me!

     

    More nervous than a small nun at a penguin shoot.

    Also so excited, let's gooooooooo!!!!

    Productivity absolutely smashed today...it has resulted in making lame memes. 

    I have nothing of value to add to this thread other than my expressions of nervous trepidation...

    Go Dees.

    But more than anything, as a club, from the coach to the fans, you are supremely arrogant, like no other club I've ever seen. 

    West Coast are a close second

    Gees Louise, feeling nervous AF this morning.

    I wish 5.50pm would hurry up and get here already.

    I normally very much look forward to Dees games. But tonight ends either in despair or a continuation of nervousness and anxiety for a whole fortnight.

    I think that number five is a pretty good player for us. 13 also shows some promise. And that little fellow who rests in the forward pocket played well last time. And of course that big number 11 . . . what a forward. 

    Edna is baking the scones this morning, I'll take Miffy, our toy poodle, around the block at lunchtime, and have my afternoon nap. I like a nice sherry with water at 5 o clock and I usually chat with a few of the old chaps from the firm on Friday afternoon. Edna and I usual go to bed at half time on Friday nights, but tonight we'll wait until three quarter time I think.

    Go Fuchsias.

    Wonder whether we'll see an announcement soon on Nathan Jones?

    His wife is currently in hospital and expecting anytime soon.

    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 is a total peanut. 

    As noted by someone else he was a commentator for our AFLW game against freo this year. He made Brian Taylor and Darcy look like Denis Commeti and Bruce in his prime.

    God awful and so ridiculously pro dockers.

    And IIRC correctly, he was also bemoaning a dangerous tackle that was paid against them on the grounds that game was getting soft and 'its not netball'. He's a dinosaur. 

    On the article, i'm not sure what his point is. Well other than the fact he thinks we will carry mental scars into tonight's game. 

    Let's say he is right. What impact is he suggesting those mental scars will have? 

    Because he makes the point that they carried the scars of the 2015 GF loss into subsequent games at the G.

    Sure, fine. But surely the mental scars are only relevant for the next Grand Final they played (ie it is the game not the ground).   

    And they took their very next opportunity to overcome that scarring by winning the 2018 GF.

    We have played at Optus Oval since the prelim and only 6 weeks ago beat the Eagles at that very venue. So Optus Oval holds no fears.

    And if we follow the Eagle's pattern we will overcome any prelim related scarring in our first opportunity to do so - tonight.

    I assume Jones already knows if he's going to be the sub tonight. 

    I really hope the umps dont get too involved tonight and give the cats their usual helping hand.

    Feeling oddly relaxed today ,going for the jab this morning @10 so that may change at about 9.55

    Always tough getting a jab, remember - you may feel a little [censored], so ask your doctor to keep his pants on

    The cats are a decent team that like port appear better than they are due to the number of wins they get from a very bias home ground advantage. 

    They are also a team with suspect staying power. A good start by us will see us home.

    Dees by 27.

    I've watched every finals game I can find on YouTube and I'm crying already

    I see you're new to game day threads on Demonland.... I would avoid it once the game actually starts if you're looking for all of the above.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
