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!

Take blood, Dees. If you go out with that attitude and keep it, the game is yours and the Lions will wilt.

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’ll be there from 4pm until gates open at the Gabba, which is at 6:30pm, less than an hour before the first bounce! Which sucks on the one hand as not much time to set up, but is great on the other hand as more drinking time. 🍺 🍻 🍾 🥂 🥴

You're nicer than my coworkers - they call it eccentric!  But that's to be expected when you're the only AFL fan deep in NRL territory...

What a wonderful week it's been!

It started last Saturday when we were given the unmitigated pleasure of watching smug and confident Carlton supporters reduced to whimpering despair.

It continued with week long viewing of the  soap opera provided by  Essendrug's pathetic implosion

......but .... the finale will be provided tonight, when the Dees start their relentless march toward BACK to BACK!

You can back it in!

You should include Clarko going to the Kangas ,what a dumb move that is ,it can only end in tears

Disagree, it's a good move for Norf - it can only help them!

And .... it's even better because it added to the shambolic [censored] up that is Essendon.

🌸 Thank you 🌸

Most of us are here (Kangaroo Point) already. Humans, that is. As for non-humans, there’s two separate trains carrying two separate items which should arrive very soon. Those being:

I'll be there too after waking up with butterflies and feeling a tad nervous now. Living in Brisbane, absolutely love it when we beat the Lions.

FYI - Gates open at 6:30pm but first bounce isn't until 7:50pm so plenty of time for set up.

Tx Whispering Jack.

The rare times I get to go the footy...moved interstate....I wish you were one of the mates I went with.

I love mine but they complain all the time we will lose. 

I'd pay for your tix just to nullify some of the pessimism.

Ha. It's not my fault they made me sniff glue.

Na...go ahead and enjoy yourself. 

Footy is all about the atmosphere...the rituals....the banter...and of course the food and beverages. 

Although I do advise people to stay away from those disgusting dominos pizzas if they still have them. My guess is they don't after a royal commission discovered they caused several let's just say so I don't get sued....unpleasant endings.

Anyway enjoying some cheese and I know I'm letting the mfc foodies down ....a couple of meat Pies is fantastic. You know the ones that are so burning hot they melt your tongue. But you still continue to nibble on them and end up not enjoying them as much if only you ignored your greed and waited just 5 bloody minutes.

But having the odd tibble or ten completes the day especially the latter if we lose and you have to go home via public transport and listen to opponents supporters.

You enjoy that one gallon bottle of sweet sherry you smuggled in by dressing up as some strange looking  toddler in an oversized duffle coat.😃 and don't let anyone make you feel guilty.

 

 

Ps shame on you for just the one gallon.

We know it’s very very tough tonight. They are a 6-7 goal better team at the Gabba. It’s going to be a finals atmosphere.  

Lions have won 9 from 10 home games in 2022 

Lions have won 35 out of last 37 home games in the regular session.  That’s a massive home ground advantage. 

Like in the final round of ‘21, down at Pussyland park, we showed we can win (albeit just) against the odds and beat feral home town favourites and the Umps.  
 

Go Dees. Unleash hell !!

He was starting to show his frustration against the blues - and with good reason. 

If he ever snaps...I hope it's tonight.

I doubt he ever will.

He is tge consumate professional and leads by example.

Big game from the big man tonight.

Im calling, Ten plus marks.

And he kicks straights.

This is a huge game tonight and a must win.

We have more to lose so hopefully we won't.

This is in effect a final with top 4 up for grabs for both teams

Lions record in finals not so flash at the Gabba

Our away record including the Adelaide and Perth finals last year is very good

We're going to win this game

I'm an armchair supporter tonight picket and past experience has taught me to pace myself in the lead up to these late starts.

I'm confident though that you'll be well [censored] as usual by the first bounce!

We are in section 213.

There appears to be a bushfire with smoke now heading towards the Gabba.

Hopefully put out soon and smoke clears.

Like the final they lost to the dogs last year by a point tx to some creative umpiring.

But yep there a good side anywhere but home advantage sure helps.

Still confident though because we have more to lose and hoping to see some of our champions play like they can....and they will.

    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!

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.
