No Tommy Alvin warming up in the rooms prior to the ‘94 Qualifying Final.

 

On watch tonight - Sparrow, ANB, Melksham & Spargo.  You have to deliver. Passengers last week and we need goals.  All these blokes should be able to contribute at least 5-6 goal’s amongst themselves.

    I'm hoping that cripps playing provides us with extra resolve to bring our A game.

    Last week felt like a final and they're all essentially finals from here on with top 4 on the line.  Time to get on a roll.

    Weather update from those close to the G?

    Also any word on Kozzie being a late out for knee issue?

    I call it the “I don’t care about living to a ripe old age” ensemble. The banana is included since I do care about living ‘til the end of the match. 😁

    JK. I actually share these around with my comrades. Especially for a double-header like today. I’m a (sugar) loading believer. So if you notice a spike in our energy levels around the beginning of the second quarter tonight you’ll know why. 
    You’re welcome!

    PS: hey @The heart beats true! We could fill our squadders with nothing but pure sugar for a week and have em all hooked up to a liquid sugar drip and they’d still be s**t-house, amirite?! Someone should start a thread about it!

    Fell for it again - that's the second time this week. The ol' banana in the candy store trick. 

    Realistically if we can't win tonight I wouldn't be expecting another flag. Not this season anyway.

    Need plenty of sugar for all that yelling WCW ?

     

    Ad for the game on 7 was 28 seconds Carlton, 2 seconds Maxy. Narrative being set early.

    Yeah tried that, I guess being a scratchy they have paid for film crews.  

    I know I am the eternal pessimist, but it feels like our season has been in slow freefall since round 10.

    Would be nice to string 5 wins together to finish it off.

    Can see it now 

    we lead by 22 at half time 

    Cripps to have 35 and 3 goals 

    we have 20 more inside 50s

    lose free kick count by 20 

    carlton win by 9 

    could I put this in a bet?

    I think I've made a grave mistake and hope that I haven't put the moz on our beloved Demons. Unbelievably, I've already turned my attention to next week's game with Fitzroy under the belief that we have this all wrapped up. Hopefully there are enough Demonlanders out there with the contrary view to effectively cancel out my utopian outlook 😁

    Ok so what is the name of your app. That I need to search.  Ta.   I like weather apps that work 

    ‘Windy’. You can download a free version which is more than adequate.  I honestly forget what features are enhanced / unlocked when you pay for a subscription.


    Fingers crossed it is accurate tonight! One forecast mode says a bit of weather (0.2ml 5pm ish and the other says it will occur 7pm. Either way should be fairly dry for most of the evening (showers at the moment slightly north of us moving slowly west!)🤞

    Have I told you about the Demonland optimist vs the pessimist?


    The pessimist says, " Things could not get worse."

    The optimist says, " Oh yes they can."

    Watching the second half of the womens game. Domination from us. Not much intensity though. No Harris or Daisy or Goldy

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
