    I was edgy after the semi finals, felt comfortable mid-week, and am now a complete mess. I have no idea how I will survive the next 12 hours, let alone the game itself. 

    PS: GAGF NRL for putting the Storm on at the same time.

    Have disliked Scofield intensely since he dropped Oliver with an 'elbow upper cut' at a break, was reported, appealed and got off.  Media claimed Oliver took a dive.  

    I find that article extremely unpleasant and tbh disrespectful.  We were naive on and off the field but what is the point to be dredging that stuff up now.   Chest beating, ra ra by yesterday's heroes. 

    He's a former Geelong Falcon so probably a Cats supporter growing up.

    Ignore the headline. A story of a ruthless attitude.

    When I read that, I wondered why an ex Eagles player would bring that up. Doing a bit of research gave me the answer. Grew up in Geelong

     

    Nervous, anxious, excited repeat….and that’s been happening since Monday 

    im going to be a dribbling mess come game time! 

    The build up and demon support in the media for this game is pretty strong,  how can we stand two weeks of MEDIA if or when we win tonight.  Only the A game demons.  Go hard all night


    The most excruciating 2 weeks of my life - save the following 2 weeks.

    ❤️💙❤️💙

    I think the cats will deploy the same strategy tonight. 

    Stop Oliver and we'll stop Melbourne.

    I don't think they can tag him out of it but they'll try and take him out for sure. I know others will stick up for him, but I reckon Selwood and Dangerfield will be out to hurt Clarry at any cost.

    I wonder how much the umps will protect him and the scragging on him that happens every week.

    Geez the nerves have kicked in this morning! How bloody good would it be to send the Geelong aged care facility packing, short of another grand final, and head into ours in form, with momentum. 

    I do genuinely feel the winner of tonights game will be premier, port are too flakey against good teams, and the dogs are too banged up. 

    In the words of Dennis Denuto …

    Im sh!tin’ myself

    Sense of calm over me the past 2 weeks is still with me. Very unusual considering the position we find ourselves in. 

    Geelong would have to play their best game of the season and we'd have to play our worst. 

    Can't see it happening.  It's our time!

    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.

    Whatever happens today, we have turned the corner as a football club - no question. If it’s not to be, this year, there’s one coming pretty soon. 
     

    Go you mighty Dees!

     

    Don’t worry!

    Expecting no love from the umps. We are good enough to overcome them and the oppo.

    I'm as nervous as most - I'm using the 2018 EF as a reference point that when we bring it, and it's a hot game, we're better than them. 

    And we're 3 years better than we were in 2018. And they're 3 years closer to retirement.

    It's working for me so far.

    MFCSS is in full fashion this morning.  It is unbearable. I have to drive to work listening to Cornes on sen. Oh god !!!

    I realise it's the pointy end of the season, and we're neck deep in it, and in the drivers seat, and so everyone needs a bit of cheering up ...

    A few snippets from the GFC bigfooty match preview:

    With geelong showing at the selection table they have no intent of moving tge ball on quickly we are now look foward to next season bar some massive choke from melbourne.

    Judging by social media posts this week if we somehow beat the Dees there is going to be a whole lot of salt in the air, its unbelievable how much we are hated.

    I notice watching replays of last weeks game against GWS just how many times Cats players sidestepped and sold candy, particularly in D50. Not just Bews either. Selwood, Tuohy, Duncan. Happened so much I feel it must be an instruction. A simple action like that gains you at least 20 extra meters and an element of surprise for defensive structures oppositions set up ahead of the ball coming out of our D50.

    Dees will smash us in the ruck and will smash us in the middle...:(

     

    Most of their comments are not about tonight's match itself, but about next season and rebuilding. They've given up already!

      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.

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
