This is real.

There's a grand final tomorrow and we're in it!

Our team is at the centre of the football world.

It's really happening!

GO DEMONS!!!

Just a quick statement/ thought!

 

I have supported this club through good and bad. At times I must admit my love did wane but my commitment never has, being a WA based member for over 25 years. I will be attending tomorrow and must say; very nervous and very excited. I really can't say we win or lose but do believe this is the start of a few very promising years. 

Having looked through the predictions at the beginning of the season, we had one pundit expecting us to make the 8. Personally I thought we would and maybe win a first final. This is well beyond what I expected. Whatever the result the players, coaches and backroom staff have certainly done more than most expected. The video of Goodwin on the season ahead is also nostradamus like!

Walking out of OPTUS tomorrow, it will be with a sense of joy or sorrow but also hope that this team is the one that breaks the drought sooner than later. The curse of Norm Smith may be folklore but it has certainly hung above us. Norm died at 57 and we have made the GF 57 years after we last one it. 

In saying all this I hope we step up tomorrow and put the dogs in the kennel. Our best will be good enough, lets hope we bring it!

    My apologies indeed. You’re spot on.

    All good mate, I do agree with your initial point.

    I’ve been a Redleg member for 17 years, the one year we make it this happens….

    But I’m confident we’ll win tomorrow and I’ll take that for now.

    We have the no.1 ruckman in the comp, Gawn had a career best game against Geelong, Jackson is a freak,

    the way these blokes gather the ball at ground level is like having two extra quality midfielders,

    At the start of the season I predicted that the team could make the finals and get to the Grand Final provided the team suffered few injuries and the core of the 22 most or all of the games with the bottom 6 ranked players making a significant improvement and contribution to the team.

    It has come to pass.

    I also said they could win the flag provided they have some luck on the day and kick straight, well tomorrow we shall see whether my prophcey will come true.

    I’d like to thing the MCC and the state government would fight tooth and nail to retain the GF given it has a 40 odd year contract and has lost it two years in a row.

    The MCC and Cricket Ground Trust don't buy into unlawful contract termination because thats what it would take to move from the 40 year agreement up to 2057 I think.

    Won't happen.

    Fair enough mate.

    Each to their own. I personally prefer they focus on the game rather than remind us Victorians of our current plight. Tomorrow night is supposed to be an escape from the doldrums.

    It was tongue in cheek BBP.

    I recall Mitch Hannan being quite fired up in our last encounters. It seemed quite personal.

    He was a good player for us but I hope he has a stinker tmrw. who will get him?

    tx Jaded that would make sense. Rivers is one of my faves and I know will be a massive star in years to come.

    Training at Optus this morning. Meanwhile a stupid woman flew in to Perth from NSW on Tuesday without a G2G pass and tested positive. Luckily she was still at the airport and swiftly dispatched to quarantine and will be deported.

    I thought it was a bit condescending, given it is their stringent border controls that are keeping us from being at Optus.  Ok keep us fans out but gee not make a quarantine allowance for the likes of Barassi and a few others of the '64 team like they do for their mining and tv magnates.  Double standards.

    Best they just watch the game.

    Yeah I disliked the way he and others got stuck into Harmes after a Hannan goal from a dodgy free kick. I hope Viney and others put him in his place tomorrow

    No wonder they have such great commentary teams when they can send this…

    Didn’t know BT was also in charge of Mailchimp down at 7. Explains a lot.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
