I CANT BELIEVE IT!

It is fantastic to win so well. The result totally invalidates the umpires' performance of the Dees match against the Cats in the final round of the H & A games, where Geelong were gifted so many unjustifiable frees and scoring opportunities whilst the Dees' frees were largely un-officiated - yet we still got home with a ripper fourth quarter.  

For the PF, the Cats still received at least three scoring opportunities from the umpires - all highly questionable and invalid - just to keep them in the game but it was too evident, too biased, too illegimate to charitably sustain after half-time.

The result has left Geelong reeling; they were poised to expect their normal 'quota of assistance' from the umpires but the exposure was too great; they crumbled in a game where the mandatory quota of umpire-assistance was only marginally applied. The mighty Dees were subsequently seen as the more skilful team, the more capable team, the more dominant team off their own bat - and their progress across the game was outside the realm of the standard all-powerful intents of snot goblin game-fixing.

If we play the Dogs in the GF, circumstances like the above will again apply and the Dees will dominate all game, to crush them. If we play Port in the GF, we will win, anyway - we have more talent and fitness, we can sustain games and related intensity for four quarters. We have the footballing public 'on our side'. Carna Dees!

    I have to report I suffered my own Steven May injury scare last night. 

    I was blasting Aces High by Iron Maiden 5 mins before the bounce and started running and jumping around getting pumped. Next thing I know I land with my heel closer to the wall than I thought. Ankle rolled outwards, slight pop. The Glenlivet balm I used at the time masked things but it is pretty darn sore this morning. 14 day rehab, could be touch and go. 

    Killer selection of tunes, I had Painkiller on just prior to bounce. Maiden could be the theme of the day.

    On Bowey, fantastic game again by a very skilled and composed player. Books a GF appearance in what will be just his 7th game. Recall in '97 a certain Simon Goodwin won a flag in his 10th game... dare we dream?

    On the other end of the football ledger, the mixed emotions our warrior Nathan Jones must be feeling. 300+ games, a beacon through the bad times, wife on the other side of the country soon due soon with twins, and he's just fractionally outside selection.

    What a great way to wake up for my birthday... Melbourne heading into the Grand Final, whilst also giving Geelong a good thrashing. 

    Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Salem, Lever were amazing again last night, as they have been all year. But I was so impressed with Brayshaw's defensive efforts and Bowey's skill and composure from a 7 gamer in a big final. This kid is something! 

    Soak this feeling up everyone. We don't experience these days often! Go Demons!

    Brayshaw was outstanding - his second and third and follow-up attempts across the game were examples of just what the Dees are made of - bullocking effort and anticipation.

    Some Priest would have fit nicely! There's going to be a lot of music played that's for sure.

    Lets not forget that if Max missed that goal in round 23 cats were minor premiers. ( they must hate Max)

    Its not like we thrashed a team that just scraped into the final eight.

    The cats also had a lot of players with much more finals experience.

    Our key defender did a hammy.

    Great to be alive this morning. Love reading all the Demonlanders good vibes.

    Apart from all the great performances, I am astounded at the football being played by our newbies. Rivers was a bit scratchy at times, but Bowie and Sparrow = wow! I said to my family last night that I see Sparrow becoming an A grader. A big call I know but his attack on the ball, his ferocious tackling, and great kicking hint at what he will be in 2 years.

    And I was one of those who thought Viney would lose his place in the team come finals. Very full belly this morning because of the huge slice of humble pie I had to have with my toast. He was brilliant. Captain-like, actually.

    How good is Ben Brown.

    Seven marks. Two goals a poster and a very near miss on another.

    Really starting to strut his stuff and clucking his marks.

    Not many backlines are having intercept marks with him, max and jackson about.

    A few months ago I was thinking about this scenario that if we were comfortable in a prelim what players would you take off. I also posted it on here but I would never believe it would play out.

    They were the 4 I would have taken off & I'm so happy they could sit back & enjoy it

    Jake Lever very disoriented. First time he’s seen the bench in 2021.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
