Well I’ve knocked out my daily run, it’s past 12 o’clock and the day is now in full swing. 
 

Beer number 1 has been cracked, and plenty more to come. I hope it ends with Champaign at about 10:30 tonight.

I cried all the way through this. Today is going to be super emotional.

Yep. I've finally been broken, and woke up with so much resolve. I love them all, and it has given me renewed respect for all the players that haven't quite made it in recent years. Everyone has contributed, in their own way. 

Channel 7 showing the second half of our prelim right now. It’s a joy to behold. ❤️💙

(Spoiler: we win)

Just watching 3rd quarter highlights from the prelim on 7. If max can replicate that performance or go close that will go a long way to helping us win

Toey as a Roman sandle 


Number 2. Then. Now.

Number 11. Then. Now.

Now!

For Then.

Key today

1 Hard tag on Liberarore= Harmes

2 Harder tag on Daniels = ANB

THE REST SORT THEMSELVES OUT

Result = DEMON PREMIERSHIP

Thinking exactly the same thing

They're the two to curtail, ANB can tag back and run forwards all day

Harmes to lay 8 hard tackles inside

Please help. I was distraught yesterday to learn that Kayo wouldn't be showing the game live (although I'm glad I found out before the match). I don't own a TV and wouldn't watch it again if I got one. I don't really want to be out in the greater public for the match. So my options are limited: buy or rent a TV for one night (the former is expensive and wasteful, while the latter seems to be an impossibility here in Cairns); get a international pass and VPN to watch it (I'm really not that clued in in how do to that); risk a pirated stream with [censored] quality (not advocating anyone do that, but it happens), or?

I keep thinking about the moment I thought this year COULD be different.

It was actually in round 2 after watching us live against the Aints.

The diligent way we defended, both in structure and effort, was something slightly different to what I’d seen before. We allowed them possession but it was never in doubt that we would eventually win it back. Not to mention the way we approached the contest. We essentially bullied them all game. If we had kicked straight it would have been a total blow out.

Yes there were the odd lapses, and the Saints routinely shot themselves in the foot, but it was something I hadn’t recognised in a Melbourne side when watching them live before: complete control. It wasn’t enough to totally convince me that this year was going to be different, but there were signs that it could be.

Of course my Saints mates were having none of it, attributing the result to them playing poorly. But looking back, it was a key moment for me in realising the possibilities of this year. 2018 was fun but I came from that game wondering if this 2021 mob could be the real deal. Turns out, they were, and are.

Enjoy the day ladies and gents. It’s not the circumstances any of us envisioned, but I have faith in this team. We will be thereabouts for a while to come. So let’s savour the moment. We’re in a grand final dammit. 

And finally, thanks again to Andy and everyone else who makes DLand possible. Despite having never met a single one of you, I feel a kinship with anyone nutty enough to come to a place like this and share their nuttiness with other nuts. And I know many others feel the same.

Salo for the Norm Smith. You heard it here first.

Go Dees 💪

I watched the full replay today as part of my pregame warm up. Apart from the obvious sublime game from Max, it is easy to overlook how great Trac, Clarrie and Viney were. They belted the Cats midfield. I would love to see Jack get the Norm Smith - his final series has been immense.

Right? Doesn’t matter how many times I watch it, I see something else wonderful. Jack is an absolute pleasure to watch. He’s SO passionate. I too would LOVE to see Jack get the Norm Smith. ❤️💙

Still in shock this is happening, I’ve been a Dees fan since I was 5 (I just liked the colours) and couldn’t stand Freo or Eagles. 
 

This team has put me through some psychological damage, bullying wearing the Dees kit at footy training and pure heartbreak after games like that loss to Ess in 2013. 
 

But here we are and I am so damn pumped. It’s a beautiful day here in Perth. I can’t wait till first bounce and hopefully the nerves will settle. I’m confident we can get it done. 
 

Feeling for you all back in VIC, but I’ve converted a bunch of WA fans to Red and Blue today. 
 

I’ll be 100% losing my voice today. 
 

Let’s go. 
 

Dees by 22. 

Are you even a Melbourne supporter if you don’t cheese?

Good news - I think it might be being streamed live on the AFL Live App!


Just rewatched all episodes of "to hell and back" because what else will pass the time...

That moment when Maysie did the final crab walk with kossie and all the boys cheering when they got across the line on the beach. Hit me right in the feels. 

I am not okay today haha 

Geez didnt think the tears would come at 1:30pm, watching that video really tugged at the heartstrings. The time for talk is over the time for action is here, get it done boys make us proud.

If you have a laptop, 7plus link below seems to work at the moment.  Presumably on any browser on any device.  There have been earlier posts saying it is retricted to certain devices, but I suspect that was for displaying on a TV screen?

I just realised this is our first grand final appearance since the inception of Demonland. I reckon we might just crash the website tonight, win or lose.

Also, 7 has the rights to the gf so it will live stream in Australia on 7plus.

Edit: oops, already explained above by Sue.

7+ app is showing it. Should be able to watch it on phone or tablet or computer through 7 plus. I’m currently beaming 7+ app from my iPad to my tv as doing have an antenna these days.

Thanks sue. But I don't trust that advice at all. Everything I've read is about the restrictions. Surely there would be other people in my boat without a TV and laptop alone, and they would cater some information in that direction? 

 

I'm getting edgy. Almost midday here in Perth. Still 5 and a half hours to bounce.

At what point is it OK to crack a beer? Need to settle the nerves but also stay sober enough to find my seat.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
