    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: 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.
