    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
