Dees to win by 9 (democracy) snags.

    Gold right there.

    To-do list:

    1. Parkrun - check. Got a good time for an older bloke so smugly bragging about it to family
    2. Voting - check. Had a good chat to a local independent candidate who has no chance of winning but is giving it a crack which I admire greatly.
    3. Minestrone soup - in the slow cooker
    4. Clean out the carport gutters, and desludge the bathroom u-bends - TBC after lunch

    Then plonk in front of the footy and hopefully:

    1. Ben Brown to kick 10, while smiling and enjoying himself.
    2. Gawn, Petracca and Oliver to take a back seat while Sparrow and Jackson tear the Roos apart. 
    3. Pickett and Spargo to cause havoc.
    4. Postgame, get onto Demonland and enjoy gloating about being the best team in the league
    5. Watch whatever game is in TV, knowing neither of the teams is as good as us. Yes, more gloating.

    Funny, a lot of North supporters are also planning to desludge their bathroom u-bends, starting from just before 4:30.

    Sensing a frustrating game coming up. North to be with 20 points at time and us to win by 35

    Although if we are switched on, under the roof and kick straight it could be messy

    i think I’ve made myself clear

    The margin will be determined by the level of intensity and pressure the roos bring, and if that level is acceptable how long they can maintain it.

    I am extremely confident we will bring our minimum base level of intensity of pressure.

    So  If they don't bring it, or do but only for say the first half, then a 100 point hammering is on the cards.

    I've voted  - postal vote.

    Preparing lentil soup, may sit outside in the sun after that and do the cryptic crossword.

    Not going to the match .... hate Doglands and have a commitment tonight (see below). I'm predicting a woeful attendance ... 25,000 is my guess.

    Attend Don's Party tonight. (The younger folk in this forum won't understand this reference.)

    Hey…

    Guess who’s making her banner raising debut today???

    I’ll give y’all a clue: ME!

    Peeps at the match look out for me. I’ll be the horizontal one, as opposed to the vertical ones, ie the ones who AREN’T lying on the turf having just tripped over.

    Don’t tell anyone 🤫 but it has a massive NARRM logo (all of which I cut out!) on one side and a montage of BBB pics (none of which I was allowed near) on the reverse side, and it says Ben Brown 150 Huge Games (!!!!)

    Again, Dub, don’t tell a soul!

    Ok, who's going to tell WCW about the mistake in the banner? Hopefully she's just written the wrong word on demonland 😅

    Might be difficult to take a pic while lying on the turf but I’ll try my damndest. That’s if I can comfortably hold my phone with rope-burnt hands. Again, damndest.  👍🏽

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
