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. 🤪

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
