Tonight’s banner has a stunning pic of Lever, Maxy, Dogga and Tracc. It will look spectacular when raised. (I’m sure other teams’ cheer squads must be envious of our banners. We’re blessed to have in

When I left work my Collingwood friend said to me good luck tonight, I'll be cheering for you. I said thanks see you next week, she turned around and said aren't you going to wish my team good luck. I

I wanna see ANGRY Demons. I wanna see Tracc snorting like a bull just like during the GF. I wanna see Jack lift up Maxy in delight. I wanna sing our song on the final siren. I wanna have to make a ban

So is anyone at all confident?

Come on, fess up.

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)

Me.  Very confident.

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

i can see 2, maybe 3 gingers in that pic, wcw. so, which one is the famous wcw?

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.

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

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.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
