Yes. As I said, you arm or wrist them.

Put on my Demons scarf around midday and hopped on the train to Jolimont. 
 

Big thanks to the people on the carriage who told me the game is tomorrow. 
 

It’s been one of those weeks, folks.

I know you are a muso Mel.

Am I right to assume you are a drummer?

[spirit of norm smith 16,615]

Any chance Fullarton comes in as a late change.  Fullarton and Tomlinson are both holdover emergencies for tomorrow.

Haha! Look that’s a valid question, but no I’m a guitar/keys player who’s really letting my crew down today. 

Gallows humour incoming: I spent a good chunk of my week at my Mum’s new aged care place helping her settle in. I texted my (football-averse) wife on my way back from “the game” today asking “Is Alzheimers contagious?” She replied “No babe, you’ve just got Dee-mentia”

Pay that.

Maybe it's just me but I have a feeling we'll win by 10+ goals tomorrow.

Fingers and toes crossed Praha but feeling quietly confident there are 6-7 of us travelling in tomorrow. It will be a quiet trip home if we lose to the 2nd bottom side again.

I've no doubt we'll win well tomorrow. I think we're going better than many realise. That could just be me looking at the ladder and seeing us in 8 point games almost all the way home. The teams 3-11 are not better than us.

[At the break of Gawn 4,460]

Based on the vision I saw (didn’t participate at all in training) I reckon he’ll be a late out.

[Fanatique Demon 2,680]

I’m going again tomorrow with daughter #1. She has a 100% winning record. Surely she can maintain that against a team that has lost their last five games. 🫣

I’m a couple of days behind in my reading (busy laying in sunny Sorrento 🇮🇹). Could someone please tell me, should we win, both best and likely ladder position post the weekend?

Best case scenario is we win by heaps, GWS and Brisbane lose, and we finish the round 7th (requires us to increase our percentage by 4.7% to pass Collingwood - requires roughly a 10 goal win I believe).

If Brisbane wins we can’t finish higher than 8th. If GWS also wins (they currently lead Carlton), we’d near certainly not catch them on percentage and would finish 9th or 10th depending on percentage.

(If anyone’s wondering, Hawthorn’s loss means we don’t drop if we lose.)

I would prefer Hore over Howes or Thomlinson when he's ready.

Salem and Bowie have barely fired a shot all year, and Petty is giving us nothing.

Chandler's pressure is crucial. We need more with his tenacity. Would love to see him maintain it longer in games, but I don't think we should be dropping him.

I feel like our season changed for the better last week. We are going to finish the season strong. I feel its a good thing to have so many young players in the team and finals within reach. would be so good for their development to play a final, especially if it was at the G. They should show them the baby bombers season highlights, anything is possible  

[dees189227 12,453]

I'd like to see Harley try a don't argue on viney tomorrow.  Viney would shut him down immediately.  Actually it will be interesting to see him play live to see all the hype. 

But hoping melksham has a good 1st game back

Mel Bourne had that same feeling today Praha and look how that turned out!

Would she mind much if you dragged her along to all our remaining home and away games?

Shouldn't we keep her in reserve in case we play a final !?
