    Narkle an emergency? Is there much rain about?

    Sitting on the hotel balcony and judging from the colour of these clouds I'd say rain is looking increasingly likely.

    Did Scott keep a surprise tactical move or two up his sleeve for an inevitable finals clash? 

    Did we save one as well? Did we show them too much in R23? 

    Won't matter. Like Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

    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.

    Mate if you crack that. Take photos

    i think i still have a Shane Woewodin 2000 Port. I must find it!!!

    I hope we come out all guns blazing from the get go and give them the treatment we got at that ground from West Coast in 2018. Time for redemption and the Cats are the target.

    Looking at the BOM radar there is s small band of showers' drifting across Perth ATM.

    But basically no rain or cloud behind the current band.

    Shiraz is the answer to both. 
    Dessert will be champagne if we win. Vodka from the bottle if we lose.

    I would love this. A total flip on 2018 - and a (further) reminder to the league that we have well and truly arrived. 

    (Plus another 2021 Cats scalp - 3 ways to skin a cat in a year)

    View from the hotel room. I’ll be cheering my heart out for all of you legends…go you Mighty Demons!

    Been a busy week at work (from home). Add to that kids not doing any schoolwork and I've been able to avoid a lot of hype up here in Canberra.

    Not any more though. Homebrew and following the Dees go hand in hand (or enable each other). The kegerator is nine paces from my footy watching chair...I'm set.

    Currently on the train to the game.

    I reckon dees supporters outweigh the cats by 10 - 1! 
     

    should be a sea of red and blue there tonight. 
     

    will be great for the boys to play in front of a roaring crowd for the first time in a while!

    that's definitely something to watch tonight

    60k capacity, and i love that the club has embraced the 'get on board the bandwagon' 

    their build-up over two weeks has been stellar

    It's 3pm. Officially time to put the work laptop away and pour a glass of wine.

    I'll occasionally move the mouse so work thinks I'm around... but we all know I haven't been around since 6pm last night. 

    I’ve tied a fake mouse to my mouse and the cat is keeping work “aware I’m still plugging away”.

    binman's prediction (sounds more authoritative in the third person):

    Game:

    I think we will have the better of a physical first quarter, get well on top in the second, come into half time with a 5 goal plus lead, resist a final effort from the cats in the 3rd q, and play tempo footy in the last to win by our half time margin

    Betting strategy:

    I'm very keen on us making our 12 point line. Load up on the line (even money).

    Half time margin might be worth having a small go at too. Back two ranges -   Dees 25 - 36 @ $7 and Dees 37+ @ $11

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
