Me.  Very confident.

I'm confident we will win this game.

Not as confident as i was last week, or for the round 23 game. But confident nonetheless.

If we win, I'm confident we will beat the cats too.

That said, i feel sick in the guts at the thought of the season ending tonight (and i worry the players might too - which is one reason I'm not as confident about tonight as i was for the round 23 game)

Well that has lifted me from despondent to hopeful LH. You are usually a good judge.

We're not done yet..? Subliminally acknowledging there's been problems?

It would read differently next week  if they were straight into the Prelim .

Strange...and they haven't mentioned the Queen!

“We’re not done yet” is open to interpretation.  Either we are not dead yet (which is not very positive) or we will do more (which is positive)     Let’s hope the players read it the latter way.

I haven't been confident of a win in half a season if I'm being honest.

We are not running out games or dominating anywhere near as much as we were last year. 

Brisbane's poor record at the MCG, in finals  and against us is the only thing that makes me feel hopeful.

Brisbane winning last week and finally getting over their elimination final hoodoo helps us. The pressure is all on us tonight. 

We won't want to go out in straight sets and without Daniher the pressure is even greater on us to win and win well. Hopefully the boys woke up today and realised this is it. Time to pull the finger out because this season is done otherwise, and all the hard work has been for nothing. 


As I said in a few other threads, a win is just simply expected tonight. I can’t remember the last time a finalist was >$4 to win a final. Even we were close to $2 against West Coast in the PF in 2018!

A loss will be a complete disaster for this footy club after starting 10-0 and finishing 2nd.

Just get it done and we’ll be back where we rightly belong - playing in a PF.

Joe the goose is out… nit sure that is a positive or a negative for us….

Wish I was confident, but a bit of trepidation creeping in.

Definitely. We would always do a show to both sides if we could. But even if it’s not raining or not too windy, if the grass is wet a show is not likely, which sucks because the pic side of it and/or the non-advertisement side is always facing the race. Therefore not everyone gets to appreciate how amazing it is. 

Love your work WCW

A lot more confident than last week

we will win. No doubt

Hard to be confident when we’ve only won 6 out of our last 13 matches…

We should win tonight. It’s an outright disaster if we don’t. 10-0 to straight sets out of finals with repeat home finals would be trash, Brisbane level trash ironically. Just get it done boys.

Which is why I distinguished it from a sudden death chance after a loss or an opportunity to go into the Grand Final following  a win and a week off.

Mind you I doubt they bother to read it

I would really like it to NOT be close. A win with minimal effort would be much better. 

Agreed. I'd like to see us so far in front that we play the last quarter with 6-2-4 rather than 6-6-6 with 10 on the bench.

Go those um Demons what.

Ii Geelong bad ...I hadn't read the news.

Anyway without sounding harsh 96 is a good inningsxwhen I think of so many poor mfc players who went so young. 

But vale Que2.

I hope you wake in time to get to the game tonight!!!!

Very, VERY confident that we do this in a canter. Bring the pressure and cubs will fold.

I'm glad Joe Daniher's absence is due to his partner going into labour. I had terrible thought it might be Neale getting worse. Hope he's doing well and comes along tonight to cheer the boys. 

 

Bike ride this morning, followed by early afternoon nap. About to have afternoon tea ... tea + orange cake. 

Goin right off in Northcote.

Pre match dinner at Mountain View Hotel ...

Pumped ... 

A loss tonight would be a massive disappointment.

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
