Society needs both optimistic and negative people. We've evolved this way. I'm naturally more optimistic but we do need negative people. This certainly comes through with how people support their footy teams.

Don't get me wrong, I'm negative during the game. I'm positive when my rational side takes over post game.

    I'll just stick to self abuse then.

    Haha!  Win or lose I'm sure the shiraz will be ready back at The Manor!🙃

    On second thoughts maybe it is flowing at the G or you have a stash to indulge, on the way back to The Manor...🙃

    I love how parts of Demonland is framing this one already. If we lose, we're hopeless and no contender. If we win, Collingwood were missing all their players. 👌

     

    Yeah frame stores must be doing a roaring trade, wish I had one.

    Slept in, cereal with fruit and Keffir, a nice home brewed coffee from local (and outstanding) coffee roaster Custom Coffee, into my Dees gear, about to jump in the car with eldest adult daughter who like me, is a mental Dees fan., and head the 'G.

    At this point, the Pies have played better football so they have to go in as favourites, but will yell my guts out and hope for a strong win.

    Not sure if I am more apprehensive about the umpires or game day thread today.

    The Yin and Yang of life. Superman had his Lex Luthor, Luke Skywalker had his Darth Vader, Kane had The Undertaker, Optimus Prime had Megatron, Kenny G had Michael Bolton, Albanese has Dutto. It's the circle of life.

    Collingwood are the hottest team in the competition.  They have won this round over us a lot more than we have.

    Despite Jvr winning a nomination last round our forward line is still very much in doubt. Our backline has Bowey out. Our midfield has our star Oliver out.

    Don't know why but I think we will somehow win today.

    And even better, a stash to share!

    Just hanging with the kids and texting the 4 collingwood mates I go to the game with. I've been in their faces for a month. If we lose I'm doomed.

    Fallback scenarios:

    - West Coast Eagles 2018 (We are the Eagles)

    - Swans prelim lose last year

    - Giants prelim lose 2017

    - Demons 2021

    I can’t see us losing this game

     

    so i’m going to leave at 3/4 time

    Me too, I'm just going to have my eyes closed for the whole game I'm that confident.

    JVR seems to have the qualities to be a big game player. Going into beast mode in the 4th quarter against RFC has been my season highlight - for the spectacle and the potential it portended. 
    Too much to ask for a repeat performance, but if he can play like he did against CFC, it will go a looong way towards us kicking a competitive score.

    ideally i want a Ricky Petterd type finish to the game with one slight change. 

    we take the mark and kick the winner after the siren

    shove your collingwood chant up your jaxsy!

    Yeah I got a little lingering around on the balcony but I've invested in a good MFCSS swatter.

    To be fair I think people are talking about selections and in-game moves rather than during the week training methods when talking about him being stubborn and not bold but I like the way this is going.

    Some will take a pottie at Goody at any opportunity and for any reason, not just in-game changes or selections. Says more about them than about Goody. Anyways, those snags ain’t gonna cook themselves… WCW gawn. 🤪

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
