PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

It’s their home game so they control all the ‘activations’ pregame and halftime. Even if it was our home game it wouldn’t happen anyways. The most we were free to do in round one was to all wear Gussy helmets, but we can’t wear them on Monday since we’ll be wearing this year’s Big Freeze beanie.

I’ve been PM’d some awesome banner content suggestions from posters on here. Thing is, I doubt they’d even be considered. Remember, the AFL don’t want the Gus travesty highlighted, for obvious reasons 😑

You’re saying that some thing gus related would be kyboshed by the AFL stasi?

Of course! Pretty much everything we do has to be signed off by the AFL. They don’t want attention drawn to this, attention won’t be drawn to it. End of story.

Unbelievable. 
 

Be fked if they get any more of my money. 
 

[censored] that. Rather give me money to the Augusta National for spectator entry fees, or any of the Open courses. 
 

And people laugh off conspiracy theories

We are hurting 

an unMelbourne like performance 

looking like JVR will be fit to go 

no training loads 

missed Lever but Tommo and Tmcd covered the prior week ok

pride Ourselves on contested footy 

lots of spin 

goody lost me with the “lean in” phrase … another new corporate phrase like “Hands-in”’aka a team meeting or “pivot” aka to change something

Simon … if you must, please “pivot” the team away from overhandballing overhandballing overhandballing !!! Killing us with turnovers and skill errors and cut off so predictably

i was never going to make it down and just found out that Bridge Road Brewery will have the match on the big screen here in Beechworth.  Ben Kraus ( who has led the brewery since inception with Maria) is a bombers supporter, and interested in seeing how we perform and how the bombers can match up to the best, so has arranged for the coverage.  I did have a BBQ planned with a blues supporting mate who always supports the dees against any other side. He is still sufferable. But I will be a poor loser tomorrow should that happen and concerned that the brewery might attract some Collingwood supporters, Ill be trying to direct them to the Nicholas Hotel where mine host is a rabid Collingwood supporter .

Any other Demons in town coming down to the brewery?

I get conniptions on hearing some of the terminology Goody uses. I really hope this isn't how he speaks to the players and is just reserved for media conferences.

Yes - annoying. I’m now able to go, but can’t get any tickets at all, even with Trident membership, which I think gives access to GA tix for away games in Melbourne? Looks like it wil be a 100k blockbuster?

Really interested in selection this week.

Why the delay and goody saying let's take 24 hours more and sleep on a possible decision.

I sense something big?

Isn't that all the more reason to do something.  Doesn't have to be official cheer squadn action, surely?

In Moyhu here enjoying the sunshine. Lots of breath testing stations around this weekend. Last night covered all exits/entries Snow Rd-Wang Whitfield Rd. Lots of wineries and Breweries open for their big weekend. Enjoy the brewery and the match!.:)

Incredibly unlikely IMO. Clarrie has been going OK, just not at his usual sensational best.

With the bye one week away I will be amazed if anyone is out "managed". When was the last time that happened at selection for us?

Im really hoping the Kolt comes in for Mcadam. Think he deserves another crack.

6.20 Sunday. Been like this since COVID. Not a fan but is what it is.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
