GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs

At Least I Saw a Flag
in Melbourne Demons

Now I'm nervous just having watched Melbourne Storm play just off the boil and go down by 4 points. Mighty game but they were just a tick off the whole way.

Smoke and mirrors I reckon.

Harmes or Viney will go straight to him IMO.

Totally agree. Worked a charm the first time and it's not a game we can afford him having any impact early on. 10 minutes of Libba untagged could mean a couple of goals. Not worth it.

    Just organising some last minute reinforcements of Chardonnay now, all set for what we all hope will be a historic next few hours. 

     

    I've felt like I've been unusually calm the past few weeks...especially reading the extreme (by comparison) feelings of other people on socials.

    It's hit me this afternoon though...starting with that video of the past player messages. It got to the point where my better half suggested I might need to go for a bit of a walk around the block (done). 

    Part of me is so jealous that I'm not there...we upgraded our memberships a few years back for the Grand Final guarantee. Anywho there are tons in the same boat, and also those with more investment in the club than me..past players, players partners and families etc.

    We did pass our barcodes on to one of my wife's school friends, a Freo fan. She and her son are there and absolutely cheering for the Dees. She sent this photo a few minutes ago of Goody photobombing them! Thinking of turning the phone off now for my own mental health. Love youse all at Demonland, see you on the other side.

    Go Dees.

    No late changes…

    Thé game starts at 11:15 am for me. I’ve never developed a taste for morning alcohol but I’ll start at half time.

    Here’s the plan… If we’re well in front at half time I’ll have a rosé or three. If it’s very close, I’ll go for white. And if we’re in trouble, red. If we’re so far behind we can’t win it, I’ll opt for Spirytus Vodka. 


    Sitting down to watch the Grand Final with your team in it, what a feeling. Bring our A game and this is going to be some night. 

    In my year at school , ( a long time ago)we had 3 dee fans , im in melb , one is overseas and one is in stadium near the cheer squad , im living thru him vicariously

    • 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?

      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?
