Well deserved milestones, we'll be right behind them.

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!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

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.... 

I’m off to Bali in the morning.. hopefully with joy in my heart.

3 hours til game time and I haven’t cracked a beer yet. 

not shy to say I’m a little proud of myself

 

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?

Good luck getting out of Denpasar Airport.  Allow up to 3 hours.

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

At the powerhouse and headed to the pineapple 🍍👍

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 ...

You've been to the Coconut Tree, too? Never forget her opening line whilst my mate and I were enjoying a cold beer: 'Mehorney Joy, lovie long time, no sheet....'

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.

Yes Bingers, it could be, and is, way worse…

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 as toey as all hell ... the match tonight is like a GF.  Win and we set ourselves up nicely.  And I don't want to entertain the thought of losing

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: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
