GAMEDAY: Rd 23 vs Brisbane

Recommended Posts

I want to see a really strong all team defensive game, especially from our back 6, no leaky goals please.

Keep the Lions to 70 points or below, Fritsch to kick 4 and Melksham and BBB to combine for 6.

Dees by 37 points.

Flew into Coolangatta last night, 25 degree day up here. Now, looking out at the sun nudging above the horizon on the Coral Sea at Currumbin 15 storeys up. About to go for a run around Burleigh Heads headland and then a dip. Geez I'm glad to be out of the miserable sodding Victorian weather.

I'll be sitting in the members tonight, it'll be a blast. Let's get it done... and if we don't,  I still think we're the only team within the finals that can win from anywhere. ❤️💙

Feeling very confident about this game

Our away record is exemplary, the manner of the Carlton win will give the boys real belief and we have champions players who will rise to the occasion

Snuff out the threat from Neale and Cameron and we're half way there

I reckon Kossie will light up the Gabba tonight

Dees by 25 points

Hugely important game for our flag chances and whether our home and away season could be considered a success.

Not many clubs win a flag with their most recently consecutive win coming in round 16.

Would be disappointed to end the season in an “also ran” position of 6th after starting 10-0.

A win and the sky is the limit for us!

Had a listen to SEN this morning, they played a bit of Fagan's media conference from yesterday. When asked about Neale and possibly Harmes tagging him I'm sure I heard he said we used questionable tactics to nullify Neale last time we played them. He then mentioned it's up to the umps to watch that sort of stuff. Just what the ump lovers on this forum wanted to hear.

Go Dees!!!

It will be a bit difficult to deal with being in the top 4 since about Rd 2 and not making it. Get it done Dees!

I was at Lords today and I can go one degree better, it was 26! Will be watching from my iPad tomorrow morning ready to be back for finals.

I'll be in the Lions members as well Onion.

This is it, we have to take the next step up tonight.

I'll be there with my wonderful dees supporting wife and my lions supporting father in law and some old friends who are lions supporters.

I hope we clobber them.

Nice one Brownie, a bit of locals knowledge please - I used to hit up ‘Ze Germahn Klub’ pre match when I lived up here 10 years ago, alas it’s booked out- any other recommendations? (Not the🍍!!) 
 

I’m expecting a tight error riddled match with the Dees pulling away in the third and for Brisbane to ride the crowd a bit in the final.

Stuck in a hospital bed after a (minor) mishap yesterday.  A win tonight, by a big enough margin to grab 2nd spot, will be just the tonic I need.  Go Dees!

Was rewatching highlights from our GF and it’s been a while since we played with such confidence, strength and speed. 

If there is ever a H&A game to treat like a final this is it.

As usual against Brisbane, Hipwood, Daniher and every other mug to bash up Gawn and the forward line. Dees must stand up and make a statement.

When I boarded the plane to Brisbane yesterday and saw the boys I walked past Max on the plane and said good luck tomorrow night & please don't stuff up our top 4 chance.

He said thanks and we'll try not to.

Also wanted to say to May come up with a better strategy for your kick ins but didn't have the guts to do so.

Because the Lions are so hard to beat on their own deck, this would be the first time this year when the Demons aren’t favourites with the bookies.

This is the best time for us to defy the odds, to prove the doubters wrong and to earn our spot in the top four!

The home deck record is pretty misleading.  Yes they've won all 10 there this year, but only 2 have been against top 8 teams (Collingwood in Rd 5 when they were a bit his and miss, then Carlton in Rd 21).

Did he add what they and other teams do to Oliver...

He has played that 'poor Neale' card a few times now this year.  Probably trying to get the umps on side.  He should show more public belief in his team rather than sook.

So what if the Lions have won 18 of their last 20 at the Gabba? The Dees have one of the best away records of the comp and everything to play for.

Cmon Dees - no fake motorbikes tonight please.

Exactly, just means they have to fall sometime. That sometime is tonight.

Unlike the other Grand Finalist (*Geelong), today the team are getting acclimatised to Grand Final Day weather a month early. 😎

Wonder what he would say about Oliver if he was a Lion.

He is in a wresting match nearly every contest to get free to go after the ball and rarely free kicked.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!
