    Bit of a thirst quencher (to calm the nerves 😬) now before heading woolloongabba with my two lovely daughters 

    first game we’ve been able to get to together since Anzac eve last year - let’s hope for a very similar result!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

    Heading to the Gabba. Hope the coaches have worked on getting a draw. If not Go Dees! JJ bit unlucky. Looks like this is the team structure going into finals. Their forward line a worry - Daniher, McStay and Hipwwod tall, Mcarthy, Andrews and Country Roads buzzing around. Hard to stop

    Off topic question

    My pm or message facility has disappeared.  Is this happening across Demonland?

    Messaging working ok.

    But noticed the 'Likes' count has disappeared from underneath the avatar when posting.  Anyone else in the same boat?

    International Roast cannot be confused with coffee on several levels. It is steaming brown and tastes like steaming brown.

    Edit. Or so I'm told.

    Enjoy the footy tonight, go deees!

    I always thought they scraped that stuff off the back of western Qld road trains.

    I made my 22 year old son try one a little while back. #lifeexperience

    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 !!  

    Brisbane have a good record at the Gabba. They've also only played 2 top 8 team at home this year, Collingwood and Carlton.

    Oh Picket, if I wouldn’t go near BBO with a ten-foot pole while in Victoria, why on god’s green earth would it be any different interstate?! 


    Now, I was pulled up by another poster for “never talking about football.” To avoid a repeat of this…

    GO DEES!

    GIVE ‘EM HELL!

    I’ve just had a coffee (international Roast… yuck) and a 600ml Red Bull (NOT sugar-free!) at the same time. 🙃

    International Roast? Could be worse ...

    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. 

     

    Opposition have either of interstate  travel on same day - or sleep in different  bed.

    95% Lion supporters- umpire influence.

    Look at Basketball court same dimension, but major home ground advantage.

    I’m nervous. Spending weekend wine tasting in the Barossa, in our group a very loud and irritating lions supporter. 
    please win Dees.

    I’m about to head over to the Pineapple as well! I’m staying down the road at Bates Motel. 😳 I wish I was kidding. This place is a little creepy now in daylight. I imagine it’ll be scary af in the dark tonight. Good times.

    Now that's an idea! I have a full bottle of Finlandia - is it any good? Might be a pleasant change from the old Bundy and Coke. The nerves certainly think it is warranted. Advice, please....

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
