GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn

I started going to the footy regularly by myself (ie without parents) in 1979. 

The 80s, 90s and the first 15 years of 2000 and into the  were a nightmare in terms of dees v hawks games.

So many hammeringd. So many games where the hawks seemed to take pleasure in bullying us.

And the hawks fans increasingly were more painfully smug and dismissive.

I remember winning a game against them in i think roos first year as coach.

As is my wont, i was very vocal. Though as is also my wont, good natured and never aggro or looking to get into the hawks fans.

Which didn't stop a hawks fan, who looked like an accountant, getting triggered and responding to me most of the day. Which mostly involved reminding me of the last 30 years.

So it is no surprise that I was increasingly vocal in the expression of my joy as victory looked more and more assured.

When it was clear we were going to win, I might have yelled PERCENTAGE! or some such.

The hawks fan responded with a comment along the lines of that was the dees final and it was a real pity we wouldn't be meeting them in finals any time soon.

Since that point in time the dees and hawks have been going in different directions on the ladder. 

And so I really hope we spliflicate them today. No mercy.

We owe the hawks BIG time.

    Dont mind if we save a few petrol tickets for the Game against Port Next Friday night.

    Dees by 40 will be just dandy.

    ....and, as long as you know who is not reported for striking after taking a contested mark, the thread will not reach 87 pages. :)

    So far I've observed a Brisbane, Richmond and Collingwood supporter wandering into the game 

    lots of free tickets given away

     

    Is there anything happening pre game with these emergency workers? 

    I'm still outside the gates waiting for my dad to come so not sure if I'm missing anything

    That nervous anticipation before a game it like a double expresso.

    More like a double movicol

    Make sure you are rude and offensive to him deever - you might get rid of him.

    I feel awkward getting to the ground when it's not our home match. 

    It's familiar, but different. 

    Like the night i took my 13yo son to Rnd 11, 2011 thinking it was our home game but errr... got to the gate and realised it was the Bombers'.  Doh!

    Reckon we were outnumbered about 7 to 1 haha.

    Ended up sitting behind the cheer squad at the Punt Rd end and had a cracker of a night sticking it right up that arrogant bunch (the Bombers not the CS!!)

    Green had a night out and i thought Moloney played one of his best games i'd witnessed.  Mckenzie pretty good as well.

    In the end it was one of the best faux pas i ever made...

    Thanks Uncle for that cold shiver down my spine.

    Why can't Kayo have a pre game show?

    Decided to head in and missed them run out for May's 200th. Was it a good banner?

    Saw frosty run out for his milestone.

    Come on boys start well like you have done the past couple of weeks 

    Watching North with Clarkson reminds me of Barassi when he came back. I went to a Dees Pies game and the Pies banner just said THE GREAT REVEAL TWELFTH TO ELEVENTH.

    Do you think we could do away with announcing the players and there numbers before hand. It's not the basketball.

    Let’s bury them with a sustained four quarter effort. Really despise the Dawks.

    Hoping we have transgressed to the point that we don't drop games like this. It's time to start burying teams the Hawks sides right from the first bounce.

    I'm a little disappointed that Frost (150 games) didn't get to join May for the coin toss.

    Of course, the risk is that if you gave him the coin he might try to bounce it twice and then land it on the side.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
