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...?

Iā€™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? Itā€™s really hitting me that I havenā€™t thought about the possibility of losing all week. Just been dreaming about winning. That is a worry as itā€™s setting me up for a massive letdown if we donā€™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 Iā€™m like a jack-in-the-box. Canā€™t sit still, Iā€™ve been told Iā€™m moodier than normal. Wasnā€™t going to drink but now Iā€™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!

You canā€™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 doesnā€™t come early, I think weā€™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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullartonā€™s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Caseyā€™s three matches and, with Melbourneā€™s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next weekā€™s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forwardā€™s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasnā€™t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the teamā€™s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourneā€™s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season.Ā There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight.Ā Since that game, the Demonsā€™ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ā€˜G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sundayā€™s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
