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. 

I just can’t get over the destruction of Geelong. 
Making a grand final also pretty good I guess. 

 

During the h and a season so many commentators pitted us v cats as the best fwd line in gfc v us the best backline.

Pffff.

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.

I think he has lifted a lot lately.

We could have subbed Jones in the last easily.


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.

It’s just unbelievable.  
The whole team was on fire.  

Maxy.  Kozzy. Gus. Clarry. Trac. Jack. Big Benny Brown.

Loved it all night. 

Go Dees. 

#one more win.

Can anyone shed light on who 'old mate' is here?

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

Good morning sweet people except Joel Selwood, Tom Hawkins and Patrick Dangerfield

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
