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!!!

 

As long as they give Oliver and Gawn the same consideration.

Pretty sure he was sooking not long ago about the GC tactics against his forward line which was analysed with behind the goal visions where there was absolutely nothing to be seen. 
The guy knows if we play anywhere near our best we are a 5 goal better side at any ground.

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.

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.

Listening to it my initial thought was Fagan is trying to manufacture some kind of 'edge' last minute. If our tactics were dodgy back in round 15 he had plenty of time to complain to the umpiring department.

 

If anyone wants a ticket in Bay 222 let me know and I will send to you by SMS.

Would be our biggest H & A win for a long time if we can pull this off.

Similar to the games in 1998 against Sydney and Richmond.

More recently probably the WCE win in Perth in 2018

Round 23, 2021?

So much 'redemption' and impetus on road to the Premiership, in that after the siren win.

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.

Way to rub it in mate, jeez! 🤣

It's a beautiful sunny day in Melbourne today, not a cloud in the sky and sub 10 degrees 🥶

Agree ... that win = 2021 premiership

Win tonight = 2022 premiership

Got my red suit on, navy shoes and top... even my red glasses on!  Only 10 hours to go...

How sweet

On the 3.20pm flight to Brissie this afternoon, then to the Pineapple Hotel in Kangaroo Point (gotta love these names) where I'm told the Demon Army will gather pre and post game. Can't wait, go Dees!

We go on a 4 game winning streak from tonight and win the flag (I hope).

Dees by 26+

Interested in some DL opinions on what reasons Brisbane are so much better at the Gabba than anywhere else?

Geelong you can attribute to the dimensions of the ground, but the Gabba is similar in size to the 'G, where the Lions' recent record is terrible.

For this year it is because they have played weaker teams.

Haven't looked at prior years.

Finals start tonight. 

Exactly, a loss will be considered a choke of the highest order. We are the reigning premier coming up against a team we’ve had little trouble disposing off in the past. Top 2 is still achievable.

I'm watching tonight's match at The Sporting Globe in Richmond.

Any other D'landers going there tonight? I know WCW isn't ...   😪

Oath.

My theory? 

Day games are often much more hot and humid than opponent are used to - the lions train in such conditions so that probably gives them some advantage.

And night games are often slippery with the dew and humidity, and again opponent are not used to those sort of conditions.

As much as it is frustrating to see the attention  that the likes of Oliver and Gawn has received all year it makes me feel proud that Goody never seems to play the ‘woe is me card’ in the public media to try and get the umpires on side.  

We'll win comfortably tonight. Not a belting like last time, but 4-5 goals. We've got the wood on Brisbane, and as much as the media want to make out we're in poor form, Brisbane are in the same boat and have stumbled over the line at home against weaker opposition.

We also travel incredible well and will be on the road again first week of final to play Swans at the SCG. Get it done Dees!

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • PREVIEW: 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.
