    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.

    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.

    that's definitely something to watch tonight

    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

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
