GAMEDAY: SF vs Carlton

Recommended Posts

TWO HOURS TO GO

My 4yo just asked me to watch Home Alone after I finish work (lol) - it's his first 'grown up' kid film and has watched it on repeat the last couple of weeks. 

That should time nicely for first bounce. And there are parallels for bonus points...

"This is my house, I have to defend it"

TRUE, KEVIN!

What a great night for the Footy. I wish we were in Collingwoods position, we gave ourselves every chance but just come up short but still playing in a Final on a warm September night I'll take over the alternative. I hope we've all got bigger smiles on when that Final siren goes tonight. Go D's Go Storm Go.

Make of it what you will....

Ye olde Barassi pub in Richmond, Mt View, usually flies the two club's flags and almost always both flags are on show.

The Demons flag is in full flight

While the Blues one is tangled around the pole and not on show

So youre saying Dees dont have their own permanent change rooms. They take what theyre given on the day according to home away status.

Sounds about right for MCC\AFL.

Because there are different home teams at the G depending on who is playing. When we are the home team we have the home team rooms that get fitted out with sponsor signage etc

Where does this BT hate come from? I re-watched the Collingwood second half and he was fanning our embers from early in Q3 - even though the Filth out-scored us in Q3. He was saying "4 goals, it's stlll very do-able". I don't get this argument that he's anti-Dee. I do get the argument that the AFL (and the Tribunal) are pro-Filth, though. Same as they are pro-Swans. (Like Keating says, never bet against self-interest.)

He was the football coach when I was at school back in the day. The bloke loves himself. He hasn’t changed in 24 years. Tota f-l-o-g.

Is your kid aware of the infinitely better sequel? I just about died of laughter as a young fella watching the trap scenes in that one.

About 50:50 supporters on my train. The Sunderland AFC bloke got off the train already.

Eh?? I live in Sunderland and SAFC is my other sporting love - off to see us at QPR tomorrow. Hope he didn’t embarrass us. If you’d asked him, he’d have willingly sung a few songs about hating the magpies.

Go Dees.

Heatherdale station like a ghost town compared to last week. 

Lilydale line train actually much busier this week. Melbourne Storm playing tonight also so it’s packed!

I strangely feel calm.

Not sure why?!

I am excited about tonight deep down though.

I feel we can win against the Blues.

Definitely more anxious last week compared to this week.

More confident in winning this game. Fingers crossed I am right! 🤞

Hoping that Brodie Grundy will be the "super sub" tonight.

GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!! 🔴🔵👹

And for those electing Shabbat, a prayer for a old testament style flogging tonight couldn't hurt. Tx.

Our game plan is territory, so the long kicks will continue. We would only look for short targets in the forward line if players were one-out, and this will only happen if we win the ball on transition and use speed to get down to the forward line. Unfortunately we are just too slow, or risk adverse, to move the ball with any speed to enable this to happen.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
