Not Port Adelaide. Any team associated with Kane Cornes really.

Then don't care.

    Not sure if the finals can work out like this, but would love a GWS vs Hawthorn Grand Final just purely from an entertainment point of view. Would be an exciting spectacle in my opinion.

    It can happen.

    GWS to lose to Sydney, then beat Brisbane, then beat Port.

    Hawthorn beat Dogs, then beat Geelong, then beat Sydney.

    That regular poster who barracks for Carlton is @No. 31 and has always been supportive of the Dees. You don’t see him bag our players like it’s a hobby. In fact, he’s more of a Dees supporter than many Dees supporters.

    I actually like the way Carlton play when they have a full side… can’t stand the rest of the top 8 barring GWS.

    I don't know what it is about Jesse, but I still love him. I remember reading that he was at the 21 GF to support the boys. He left on the final siren. He was happy for us, but sad for himself.
    Go Jesse. Do it for your Dad.

    Thanks WCW ☺️ Even been a Dees member 2 years running 😁 My gut feeling is that the Dees bounce back next year. Sign one of the King brothers and a solid backup ruckman and MFC are flag contenders in 2025 I say 😈

    GWS or the Dogs. 

    Realistically, anyone apart from the Blues or Sydney.

    GWS for Hogan/Bedford. Bonus that their theme is dope. 
     
    Dogs next cos Bont is talented enough to be a 2 time premiership player.
    Would also be nice for Trealor to finally win one after a 4th attempt. 

  • Quote

    Doggies pls.

    1.  My best friend is a dog

    2.  I had the pleasure of meetimg the Bont and he is as genuine & humble a bloke as you'll ever meet.  It was like talking to a next door neighbour yet he's a super star of the comp.  No airs, graces or pretentious stuff here.  What you see is what you get.

    3.  The Doggies have taken on a few of our boys in Harmes and ginger Baker.

    My next pick is GWS for Hogan & Bedford's sake.  Still hurts losing both of em.

    They will be a markedly different side in the first final, if they can get back a decent number of Curnow, McKay, McGovern, TDK, Saad, Marchbank, Boyd, Cerra and/or Martin.

    They have no pressure, as most expected them to miss the finals altogether. They'll be underdogs against Brisbane even if they get all these players back. But their best football this year has been in the best football any side's played, and they can do damage if the release the mental shackles.

    (Or alternatively they'll get pumped by Brisbane. TBH not sure.)

    Getting nervous that it might be the Hawks that could go all the way. They are coming into the finals with a full head of steam having demolished a succession of teams and lost a close one to GWS. They haven’t been on TV much so I haven’t seen a lot of what their doing but they appear to be moving the ball rapidly and through the corridor at all costs. Their recruiting has concentrated on leg speed, kicking skills and quick small forwards.
     

    Reminds me of the Dee’s campaigns in 87, 98 and 2000, the difference is we ran into genuine quality, inform sides at the pointy end of the finals. This season would be a great year to get into the finals as every side in the 8 has deficiencies and a lot have patchy form. It’s wide open for a young team in form.

    Love your posts

    I wish we could be clear eyed as you

    Speaking to a work colleague today reflecting on the year and he remarked how he laughed when at the start of the year I said we’d miss finals. I then said I think we’ll be ok in 2025 - this year has a 2020 feel to it. Hopefully this galvanises the group.

    good luck to your mob!

    The figures speak for themselves.  

    Over two thirds of respondents nominated GWS and almost 80% are hoping for a NSW victory.

    The Bulldogs also have some friends.

    Nobody wants Geelong to win.  This is very reassuring and exactly as it should be.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
