ROAD TO THE GRAND FINAL


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

Whenever we play we will have an extra two days rest on Sydney.

Given that Sydney played today, I doubt our QF will be on the Thursday night.

It could even be Saturday afternoon to give Syd the chance to get back to Sydney that night in case they play the following week.  Finishing top 4 gives them that right.

But more likely the two QF will be Fri and Sat nights.

That was an ordinary performance by Sydney.  Whenever it is we should win!!

Thanks for the reminder.

I figured to play on the Thursday Sydney will have an 11 day break and they will probably kick up a fuss having finished top 4.

Wouldn't be surprised to see one of the EF on the Thursday night.

Thankfully the last month of footy has also helped me get accustomed to dealing with big match nerves 😅

I'm not really fussed who we play, where or when. Confident that our best trumps the rest.

Can you believe in 125 years we’ve only played the swans twice in finals??

first in 1936 and then 1987….

 

Hopefully it’s a bit like the 1987 game -blew them away 

Personally I think they are real threat to us they seem to match up well and their backs are pretty underrated

We need to bring our best and I hope it’s a very very pro MFC crowd just like it was in ‘87 

If I remember correctly it was T Viney that kicked the first game that day to get us going - maybe J Viney this time

I don’t rate Freo

i think we’ll beat the Swans

Prelim V Pies (I can’t even begin to contemplate this or my head might explode)

GF v Cats (I can’t even begin to contemplate this or my head will definitely explode)

Or even better

 prelim  vs Gee 

GF v coll

Let's not forget Geelongs finals history and Collingwoods Grand final history

 No matter what day or time we end up playing it is just so important that everyone that can,  actually turn up and support our boys.  

They have fulfilled their end of the bargain, we must fulfil  ours.  We have over 60k members and plenty more supporters. No excuses.


We must outnumber the opposition and be bloody loud and ensure it is a very hostile environment for opposition supporters and players alike.

First off a big shout out to Saints they got within 7 points of Swans and helped us hold 2nd spot. Now we all get the opportunity to cheer on our mighty Dee’s at the G. Can’t wait for this one.❤️💙👍👌

Not unhappy with that.

If Collingwood lose to Geelong then we’d play winner the the Pies and Freo/Dogs semi final.

Assuming we win week 1.

Don't think that's right jnr

Correct Jimmy. 

We could play the loser of Geelong/Collingwood if they win their Second semi vs the winner of Freo/Bulldogs.

At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he

The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
