Speaking of which, did anyone get more than 5 hours sleep?

I combined three bourbans and binged on cheezals to get me some shut eye.

Woke at three with the worst indigestion.

I more nervous than Bbos maid.

All the pundits hoping for a tough, close and suspenseful game.

Not us. A five goal lead after q1..to be increased by the same ammount each qrt.

There's a lot of talk about targeting Max and ....... no doubt Beveridge will have a plan to curb his influence.

However, there's been little said about Jackson. I reckon he could be today's wildcard. The doggies ruck stocks aren't good enough to handle them both and concentrating on Max could backfire badly.

The young bloke is playing "at home" . He'll be fired up for a big one.

Yes agreed. Max pushing hard forward / back is going to cause major problems for Martin, then Jackson comes on. No respite. 
Go Dees! 

Here is an excellent article explaining when and how the GF can be watched.

Foxtel/Kayo replay available at 11:15

Game can be streamed from 7plus app but only on certain devices (why I have no idea)

You can stream the Grand Final live on the 7plus App, but only on selected TV’s or set-top-boxes. Importantly, you cannot watch the game through the 7 App on your mobile phone or tablet, as is the case for all AFL matches and the Brownlow Medal, which caught many people out on Sunday night (see below for info on how you can watch it on your mobile). This is due to broadcast restrictions put in place by the AFL. You can watch the game through the app on the following devices: Telstra TV, Samsung Tizen (2016 and later), Fetch TV, Apple TV, PlayStation 4 & 5, Android TV, Google TV, LG TV. You cannot use Chromecast or AirPlay to watch the Grand Final and you cannot watch a replay of the game on the app.

Some good news late Friday night by the AFL, with confirmation the AFL Grand Final will now be able to be streamed live on your mobile device through the AFL Live Official App

It’s time.

Time to add a brand new flag to our collection of grand old flags.

it’s our time.

G' morning, fellow Demonlanders, welcome to IT! Congratulations to all those up just after midnight to start this thread. Was very close to also jumping onto the laptop and getting started then, but Billy Brownless' "little man in my head" spoke up, wisdom prevailed, and trundled to bed.  

Actually slept well. Having a late brekkie now with coffee in my Robbie Flower mug (reserved for VERY special occasions). Feeling OK until I realise I have to wait until 7 ($@%^&%$@$)  pm! So, activated my GF day emergency plan:

  • Coodabeen champions at 10am
  • Water some plants
  • Watch the U19's WA v SA final at 1pm.
  • Then annoy the carp out my entire family, pacing and whinging with some Canadian Club until the game starts. 

GO YOU MIGHTY REDLEGS!!

Except you’ve gotta wait 12 fggng hours before opening your presents. Worst. Christmas. EVER.

Never! Waited lfor 57 years, 12 extra hours is nothing!

Didn’t see this coming!


 

 I feel crook.

There is so much pressure on our captain due to his recent massive increase in form.

Hell handle it. I also think He may spend more time up fwd and ket Jackson run amok.

I have promised myself not to open the drinks fridge until at least 4pm, don't know how I'll go with that :(

I know we are all nervous, excited, calm, confident, pessimistic and full of fear at the same time, will be a long day !

We will win though !

Fellow Demonlanders … I know we’re all nervous today and there’s a lot at stake for us … but remember these occasions rarely come around for us long suffering demons, so try to soak it in , savour the moment and believe. Be willing to be vulnerable, I know that’s hard for us , but this is our time now !

I’m not scared about losing anymore , I’m excited and believe about the chance of winning!! 

Don’t have any regrets later on you didn’t enjoy the moment !

Go you mighty demons !!!! 🔴 🔵 


Might head down to East End for a snack and then off to the park for a kick of the footy. I expect to see lots of Demons colours out and about

I'm strangely not nervous. I think we will win and win easy. In fact I believe we will lead all day. 

Good luck to all Demonlanders,  enjoy the game.

To our Team of RED and BLUE   it may not come around for  years, Go hard

I read your first two lines and felt sick. I thought he was out.

I think I might have just squeezed in 5hrs, woke up at 4:30 and barely slept after that. 

This thread matches my feelings and emotions perfectly.  One minute an air of confidence in the knowledge that at our best, we will win, and win well. The next minute the ‘what if’s’ and lingering doubts kick in, and erase the confidence of only moments earlier.  My nerves are like a bowl of spaghetti.  
I needed a sleeping pill to get me through last night, but if we win tonight, a short doze in my lounge chair will suffice.  If we lose, I might need two sleeping pills!

Go Dees!  We all love you to death, and we know you will be playing for each and every one of us!

Got to sleep at 3 and woke up at about 9 only to find my MFCSS had reared it's ugly head and was pulsating through my body. I am now trying to relax.

Theres no sorry response.

Beers open, tunes on, game day is here. Haven’t given it a second thought during the week, been really busy at work, but has sunk in this morning. A chance to make history. Here we [censored] go. Carn the dees!

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
