    That suggests he is playing, unless Scott is trying to screw with us.

    Can confirm my work training session is as pleasant as watching Christ Scott press conference post a win.

    What's the use of naming emergencies if they can be replaced less than 24 hours after being named?

    You’d think so. I was surprised Z Guthrie was named ahead of him, so might be a swap or fingers crossed another injury we are unaware of

    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. 

    Maybe that's why Geelong can't run out games. So many extra star jumps at every tackle and out of bounds?

    Am I the only one that's been sitting at my desk all day but have done absolutely nothing?

    100% would be playing. Probably was always going to play and the screwing with us part is doing it now. 

    I thought it was odd not to replace Parfait with another like for like midfielder.

    The question is, who comes out to replace Narkle. Is it a tall due to injury, or will they just make a change with the sub?

    Strong chrysanthemum tea for me to ensure I stay chilled throughout the game or else the tension will be unbearable. I have a special bottle to crack open if we win the GF. A bottle of 1900 vintage Madeira wine. Made the year we won our first flag. Owned it for 4  decades and now worth about 3 grand. But what the heck, I cant think of a better time to drink it.

    I am swamped with nerves. So much so, I can’t give a prediction. 

    To say we’re definitely going to lose is disingenuous and a defense mechanism to avoid being hurt. The fact that we have so many firing on so many lines, we are in good form and have a sense of genuine purpose and humility I have never seen in a Melbourne team makes it irrational to say we can’t win.

    On the other hand, I know Geelong will not go down without a struggle. Fate, karma or whatever you call it dictates that we play them. It was inevitable. Losing to us 3 times in a year plus losing yet another prelim is a fate they will want to avoid like more than anything you know. They are aging but they still have class and match smarts.

    My emotions are definitely on the line. Fingers crossed.

    im not sure you can. i do think there is a fine involved but it is the typical Geelong tactics to try and fool our team. 

    I dont think Narkle can be anything more than a medi-sub without attracting more fines.

    Super nervous and excited, what could be worse if its like the 3rd qtr of the rd 23, I can't pause walk away for a bit and then comeback. But me and the family are heading in at 3.30pm to get in early and enjoy the build up at the ground.  I'll see if there are any badges left to grab from our stand.

    I’m feeling a strong mix of nerves and excitement for tonight. I don’t know what it is, but I just feel this is our time. It’s not just us who think it, it’s every other footy observer. Is it possible that we’re all wrong?

    The Cats remind me of the old team on the ropes where one more knock out will kick them out of contention for good where we won’t see them again in our finals for a few more years.

    Someone likened this game to the 2000 prelim and it’s resonated with me. A team full of momentum vs an ageing team now just approaching outside the window. 
     

    Let’s get it done Dees. Bring effort and intensity. Kick straight in front of goal and just hope the umps are kind to us.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
