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. 🍺 🍻 🍾 🥂 🥴

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.

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.

Hey WCW you should hook up with that ever luvin ball of fun Uncle Bitter and get absolutely blotto! 😁

Edited by picket fence

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
