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!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[Fanatique Demon 2,660]

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

[layzie 34,121]

I'm outta here, next stop Friday night Footy. Go Dees!

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.... 

[joeboy 3,171]

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

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.

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

[KLV 1,768]

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

[Macca 17,080]

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

Need alcohol before hitting the rubbity-dub!

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....
