Vodka and Cranberry Juice will gret me through. 
Cigarettes ready if it’s close 

Let’s go Demons. 50 years

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

100% would be playing. Probably was always going to play and the screwing with us part is doing it now.

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?

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
