I was thinking about how I'll be feeling tomorrow if we drop 3 or 5 goals behind early on.

Notable comebacks for us:

  1. Round 2, we fell 3 goals behind in the second quarter St Kilda;
  2. Round 3, we fell 3 goals behind in the first quarter against GWS;
  3. Round 6, Richmond jumped us early, only two goals but were all over us pressure-wise;
  4. Round 7, we were 20 points down to North at half time;
  5. Round 8, Sydney kicked the first two goals;
  6. Round 12, we were 20 points down to Brisbane at half time;
  7. Round 23, the big Geelong comeback

Four of these were against finals sides, too.

I've been looking through the Dogs' season to see how often they fell behind but won:

  1. Round 2, they came back from 3 goals down in the last quarter to beat West Coast;
  2. Round 8, they came back from 27 points down against Carlton late in the third quarter;
  3. Round 18, they conceded the first three goals to Gold Coast
  4. Semi final, they were 3 goals behind Brisbane in the third quarter

So the semi final really is the only time they've fought back from a deficit. That really comes from their strong first quarter record, they've won almost all of them this year.

I suppose the confidence I want to draw from this is that even if the Dogs jump us early, we should feel like we're capable of bringing it back. But would they feel the same way if we get an early lead...?

I’m hoping for a strong start by us. Then we can apply the shackles on our terms. Very few sides have been able to manage any meaningful catch up footy against us.Ā

Who else feels sick with nerves? It’s really hitting me that I haven’t thought about the possibility of losing all week. Just been dreaming about winning. That is a worry as it’s setting me up for a massive letdown if we don’t win.Ā 
Ā 

Yeah I feel the same. But in reality a loss will be devastating regardless so we might as well stay positive!

 

Man I’m like a jack-in-the-box. Can’t sit still, I’ve been told I’m moodier than normal. Wasn’t going to drink but now I’m heavily drinking and betting on the nags just to pass the time.Ā 

this is all normal right?? šŸ˜‚

Just bounce the ball already!

Do you mean a letdown as in a GF drought breaking tilt in 2022 at the G? šŸ™‚

You can’t watch on Kayo.

Kayo/Fox never has their own commentators anyway if it is a Channel Seven game.

BT is commentating.

It's not on Fox/ Kayo. On 7 only. Does anyone know if they have an after game show.


This feels like Christmas Eve when I was an 8 year old. Absolutely pumped, but some nerves kicking in now.

As long as the rain doesn’t come early, I think we’ve got this.

Dee's by 50 odd.

Stef Martin subbed out in the first quarter.

Treloar's retirement announcement in the post game presser.

Clarry BOG, but T Mac close behind him with 20 & 3.

Had a strange dream last night, really quite vague but something about Jackson and 6.

  • 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 psychologistĀ  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 overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

  • 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?
