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,

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

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!

Just landed in Singapore. Can’t wait for us to demolish the Lions tonight. Go Demons!

Hate to tell you but I think you caught the wrong plane, we are playing at the GABBA tonight, never mind just have a beer and watch it from there....

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 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....

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
