It's Game Day and the Dees take on Collingwood in the Qualifying Final at the MCG in front of more than 90,000 fans. The winner will go straight to a Preliminary Final at the MCG in 2 weeks time and the loser will face the winner of Carlton and Sydney next Friday Night.

Game on moles.

Congratulations Joel Smith! A baby girl and a damn fine excuse for missing training. 
 

Make her immediately proud!! 

Just got home with the wife from Bigsound in Brisbane. Great night out as always. Best festival in Australia 

On to a plane tomorrow and down to the G.

Our first 90+ crowd.

Can't wait. Go Dees

2021 vibes y’all. We’ve got this. ❤️💙

Anyone else struggling to sleep 😩😩

Advise you to check the 2018 EF against Geelong, tomorrow should be a similar atmosphere!

Three new (giant) faces to look out for in the crowd tomorrow night…

😃

We'll win. Go Dees!

was it in the west of the town?

I am pumped. Got the day off work, the kid will be in daycare, it's gonna be 29 degrees and sunny in Amsterdam. Can't wait to smash beers in the sun after a big win!!

Still on the other side of the world. Enjoying the weather, food and wine in Tuscany. It’s a hard life but someone has to do it. Will be streaming live and look forward to the Dees winning. I expect a hard close opening but we will get on top in the third as our structures and contest take centre stage.

Dees by 7 goals. 
 

more wine! More food! More wine!

I’m fine.

Yes, but due to jet lag!

However, Demons seem to have timed their run this year as formline overvlast 8 week’s excellent!

Pies wobbling, looking forward to Demons bringing four quarters of finals pressure, and moving onto Prelim final!

TMac also got his prep just right and just in time, would love to see him snag a few!

Demons by 21!

Amstel or Heineken?

Interesting to see Noble has been dropped by Collingwood in favour of a slightly taller Markov. Must be worried about the match up against TMac, but interesting to see if this destabilises them a bit noting Noble has played all 23 games this year.

I smell blood.

Yep.  My whole week has been building up to this point.  Work is going to fly by today.

The oppertunity to win and go straight through to a prelim is huge.  Hasn't presented many times in my life and that isn't lost on me.

10:20am bounce for me. Luckily I’m working from home tomorrow - not sure much work will be done during the game!

Dees by 18.

It'll be a grind throughout the game. Don't be surprised if it's a low scoring  affair right up until 3 quarter time, pretty much level pegging, for us to then pull away with our running power and superior fitness levels.

Win this, and a grand final birth awaits us.

Jack Viney BOG for me. The stage is built for him.

The 2018 finals were big for the club and fans, but the game tonight feels like it’s the biggest for the MFC at the MCG since the lead up to the 2000 GF.

Been up early every day so far this week for work, got a late flight back tomorrow. Would love nothing more than a sleep in tomorrow with victory secured.
