Wake up to game day nerves.  I hate my MFCSS. 

I hear ya Roosty. Waking up on GameDay is never pleasant. I recommend you do what I do… say a lil prayer to the footy gods as you down *two coffees and a 600ml can of Red Bull. Works every time! Yes you’ll hit a wall just as the match starts but that’s when you initiate part 2 of Operation Pumped… sugar! Lollies and lots of ‘em! Any kind will do (I personally go with Skittles and Killer Pythons).

*three coffees minimum. I’m currently waiting for my third which will be ready once Vikram, the 7/11 guy cleans the machine.

Cheers!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

Laurie has been playing well for Casey, but I am surprised we picked him for this game.

Maybe we want to give him a chance to see if he stays or goes, maybe we wanted someone with good foot skills, or maybe we just wanted something a bit different, to see if it gives us a spark.

In other words I haven’t got a clue.

Fair enough. Thanks.  We may know by tonight

 

Gates open earlier than usual today (midday) because the Field Of Women takes place starting at 12:45. Y’all look out for me… I’ll be the one wearing pink. 🤣

Are/were you an élite athlete? That’s a pretty impressive and strict diet regime.

We'll win comfortably. 

God I hope so.

 

We just need to maintain our defensive structures reasonably well, and win more than our share of contests (just like we have for every other game this season except vs Essendon in Adelaide), and we beat the Hawks by 20 to 30 points.
Simple, but why the Hell am I so nervous?

Come on boys, get it done 🔴🔵

🤞🏻for a big crowd for Max 200 and Nibs 150. 


Taking the dog for a walk always calms the nerves. 

Win today and the double chance is ours and we are up to our eyeballs in this premiership race. 
 

 

Mitchell is showing all the signs of being a very astute coach, and this will not be an easy game. But I see a very tight first half, Dees slip ahead in the 3rd quarter, then continue the increase in the 4th quarter to win by 25 - 30 points.

Our full ground defensive set up will thwart their running midfield, and our mid sized and small forwards will be too much for their defence.

And we MUST NOT let Sicily play his won game. Smith to play on him, make him accountable in the air and on the ground.

Elite? The MOST elite! Those players have it easy compared to us. We make them look like they’re  having a relaxing stroll in the park.

The dog’s biased. He’s a hardcore Dees fan. 

I came to Thailand for spiritual enlightenment and I must say my stay in Bangkok has been wonderfully ..... err .... uplifting.

I have consulted my guru ( not Bob ) and I have been assured that the Demons will win today's encounter with the Dorks by 46 points.

You know it 😂

Last home H&A game of the year so bringing the kids and cousins along to this one. Everyone excited.

Sunny and benign conditions expected so looking forward to clean, sharp ball movement. No fumbles please. Goal kicking accuracy would be great as well.

He's in the hunt for coaches' award and Brownlow so I expect a big one from Trac. 30 possies and a 3 goal haul.

Too late. That ship’s sailed. I peaked at 6am. I’ll be fine for the match though, when I’ll get my 48th wind.

Even with 20/75 vision the dog could see THE BALL WASN’T TOUCHED!

 

If you don’t turn up today and choose to watch on tv instead (and you’re in Melbourne obviously), then shame on you. Final home game of the year. In the race for top 4. Captain Max playing his 200th. Weather is mild. 
Don’t be the sort of Melbourne supporter everyone laughs about. Turn up, make noise, and let’s bury those Hawks!

Memories of our start against North Melbourne, gets me worried.

They want to be up for some contest and tackles. Good chance of a finals like start, with some applied pressure, I reckon.

Cmon Dees, give us commitment and wanting it for 4 quarters, I would hate us to be choosing when to go.

I want to see Tommo cement a spot.

Clarry to boom.

Small forwards to have a day out.

Marks and clean footy, to win it for us, together with forcing turnovers.

Go Dees

  • 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.

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
