My son would’ve had them Uber-ed to me. ❤️💙💕

At least, I think it was my son. 🤔

Ben Gibson: "So Simon, we have to appease these bloody Melbourne supporters all week since they can't watch the game in person and for some reason that irks them. Can I put up some training footage?"

Simon Goodwin: "Gee I don't know about that Gibby. Won't the Dogs use it to their advantage?"

Ben Gibson: "Hmm…Good point Goody. I know, let's just show the bits where our likely 22 look terrible."

Simon Goodwin: "Great idea Gibby. Make sure you put in all 3 of the times in the whole two hour training session where the B-team break away by hand."

Ben Gibson: "Awesome, that's a wrap!"

Simon Goodwin: "Thanks Gibby. Keep up the good work. By the way, it's a best 23 these days. Love the poddy mate!"

....Ben Gibsin 'oh, one more thing goody. The reds played bloody well. Like a bunch of blokes desperate to get a game in a grand final. For example majak kicked 3 goals. I'll make sure I include one of his goals and say vanders rampaging and hurry and Chandler and weed.

The dogs will be rightly worried that our b team is red hot and better than their A team 

I'm learning about misinformation online, so I reckon that will get in their heads.

One last thing. Stop calling me [censored] Gibby. The boys have been laughing at me all season'

I keep saying that Keath has done his hammy TWICE since round 19.

He won't be able to push very hard on that leg.

As for Stef, he will basically be a decoy with English playing fwd to try and stretch our defence.

yes Keath is an interesting one as it seems to keeping popping up in commentary about his injury, being tested, may be ok etc. Brown's runnign will be a challenge.

Luke Jackson could well be a trump card for allowing the Dees to just keep running pressure on all day against Martin and/or English.

Totally agree, I hope Goodwin and Yze are right on to this aspect of the game !! 

I'm confident they learnt their lesson from Round 19. Max had 56 hitouts and Dogs win clearances by 8 I think, maybe more.

The Dees coaching group will have this planned to deal with and have the talent to do it.

4 out of 4 picking us on Footy Class.

Uh-oh...

😄

Scary. And 3 out of 3 on On the Couch tipped Melb too.  All by 2 goals plus

Norm Smith tips were:

garry     Oliver

Nick      Petracca

Brown   Max   (Brown showing off his Max Gawn beard from the Herald Sun)

Healy   Jack Viney

On the Couch won the 2021 AFL Medai Assoc Best Football Program, which having access to it for the first time  across the season I completely agree with. Top show.

Been thinking strongly of picking Viney for Norm Smith. He has been great since he came back from suspension and prob played his best game of the season in the prelim. Paying $21 which I think is good value.

I thought working this week and being busy would really help make the time fly by but it's done the opposite! I really want to be off this week and soaking up every bit of media I can. Boo!

Agree. Great value.

In large part because the Norm smith is decide by a panel that includes a mixture of journos and ex players.

And ex players love the hard at it, competitive beast types. And jack has also been getting a lot of possession of late too, so the numbers will work for him when the journos look to the stat sheet.

It only just occurred to me how significant it would be for dees player to win the Norm Smith medal.

Yeah, every single footy show person tipped us tonight. It's a bit nerve racking. Not to mention being short priced favourites to win. Very scary. 😂

Our players in the selected side need to just ignore the hype that they have earned, gathered and proven. Go at 'em, Dees! Play as if there is no hype - build your confidence from the conduct of this game - largely ignore recent history. Make a new marque with team play, support, intelligent linkages.

Create a new history by winning every quarter of a GF through determination.

 


If you look at the finals series the dogs footy outside of the first 1/2 against Port has been very mediocre, and required a lot of sloppy efforts by opposition to keep them in the game. 

there is no doubt in my mind the Lions should have beaten them in the Semi final

Did anyone who order the road to the GF tee not receive it yet? Ordered 11 days ago!

Aus post is cooked. Unless you ordered express don’t expect normal mail for 2-3 weeks

Got mine 2 days ago, but used the express delivery option for 17.50

I ordered a Demons Guernsey from New Balance as the Prelim was being played, still no sign of it.

Tracking says 'shipping information received 14th September"

This is only adding to my GF anxiety

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
