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

VERY true - looking forward to being on the right side of that Tyson wisdom.

 

C'mon Demons!

Get it done!

This made for decent pump material prior to our first final.

    How much can you drink after a covid jab

    Consulted my nurse wife for ya fd, what you don't want is to get dehydrated. She reckons 2 std drinks but I'm thinking outside the square and suggest a glass of water after each and every drink 😁

    I'm ready to go, wife's looking a million bucks in the colours, she's sporting red horns n'all. Listening to music, feeling relaxed and have a steely confidence we'll be too good tonight. Having a feed and a beer at the empire bar and will then make our way to the ground. Go You Mighty Demons!!!!!

    I will,  I dusted the bottle off in 2000 and in 2018 but sadly had abandon the celebrations. It now resides in a Shane Woewodin 2000 port box. I consumed that one long ago.

    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! 

    Optus Stadium full - and not full of ferals*!!! 

    *Well, I can't say that with any certainty, but at the least it's a neutral game for locals, so they won't need to bully the umps into any shambolic decisions. Plus, it's against Geelong, and I doubt there will be many non MFC supporters going for the Cats. So they're ok with me. Today.

    This just in from the Geelong Bigfooty board.

    Who kicks Melbourne’s goals? Very, very poor forward line for a TOTL team. Yes their defence is stellar but our offence is a cut above AND they have not experienced the 4 Headed Monster.

    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

    I can't at winning/loosing money to my anxiety levels thanks Binman

    Umm, I guess the same guys (and hopefully more) that kicked all those goals against them last time? 

    4 headed monster? What's the inbreeding got to do with anything???!

    Been slaving away over a crowbar, rake, shovel and mattock for a whole heap of today. Shower - done, and now... the wait.

    I actually feel really pumped. At this time of year I'm usually reading carp about Demonlanders wanting to trade some other club gun for 2 Skyhoooks vinyls and a discount voucher at the Salvo stores. This year, I get to watch a really good Dees unit give the finals a crack. Nervous, yes, but it feels goooood! We're playing in a prelim and we are a dead set chance or winning.

    Don't get me wrong, there will soon be plenty of moaning, hands thrown in the air, angry spittle flying at 360 degrees, Geelong abuse and many other standard behaviours of a Dees fan, but I'm loving this.

    Carna Dees - rip 'em apart.

    .... is it game time yet?

    Their 4-pronged forward line.

    Our backs are better.

    4 is an unlucky number.

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

    Nice, great colour on the AAA.


    WCIPA tapped and a ESB carbonating. Trying to work out a new beer to brew that uses some of our left over hops.

    Fritta, BB, LJ, Kozzie, TMac, Spargo, Petracca, ANB, Max, Langdon, and lately Clarry.  Wouldn’t be surprised if Brayshaw, Salem or Rivers pop up for a goal. Hope that answers it for them!

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
