This has all the hallmarks of a memorable triumph which will go down in history.

I don’t even know why I said that. It’s late and I have to be at Fed Square at 8am.

‘Night all 🥱

    That's got to be the best forward line we've had in the last few years post BB? on paper at least. It's the one that would've beaten them in the QF with Melksham & Petty. Today will be the best chance since then. Go Dees

    Monday lunchtime game for me and I am in Denmark. Don’t ask me why. More talking to people and a bit of listening. Will have to watch the game on replay when I can.

    I like the selections except for Tholstrup. Would have kept Laurie for a proper run. Looks like Tholstrup or Howes as sub for me. The rest of the selections give us a truck load of flexibility. I just hope that the coaching team use that.

    I do not hold my breath.

    Dees by 2 goals or 12 points.

    I just sent the Domestic Staff outside for 10 minutes to see how wet and cold they got. That "litmus test" told me it's a terrible day so I'll be an armchair supporter for this game.

    I realise that wet ****ty days have'nt suited us in recent years but i reckon the weather might even things up today. Endeavour and motivation will be major factors in the result.

    Dees by 13 points.

    Hopeful as always but not confident

    The conditions will even things up but still a lot has to go right for us to get the result

    to win we'll have to

    a) bring maximum heat. if the pies get their transition game going we'll be sliced and diced

    b) kick straight

    c) get big games from Max Kossie and Trac. and 1 of our forwards (Fritsch?) to kick 3-4

    The only cast iron guarantee is that the pies supporters will be as horrid as usual

    Go Dees

    Many moons ago at the Junction. Playing the Lions. Scores level. Back in the day one took their trusty tranny ( meant something very different then 😉😆 ) ... at this point , listening to the game ol' Lou proffered one of his many gems.

    "One goal each and the scores will be level" at which more than a few turned to look at each other with a " what did that bloody nong say !!"

    So yes... who knows what the day brings ( other than more rain.... )

    Hopeful but not confident like many others on here. A bit like before the Brisbane game although I think we have a good history of challenging the Lions, the Pies we don't.

    We flipped the script against Freo back in round 6 so maybe we can do it against the Pies.

    If there's one vulnerability for the Pies it's their midfield, and despite the debacle last week in Alice, we've been basically the best contest and clearance side over the last 6 weeks. Stopping Daicos is crucial and someone needs to run with Sidebottom all day. Melksham can hopefully limit Moore's intercepts and then we're in with a shot.

    Dees by 10 if the above can happen.

    If we can stay competitive, kick accurately and remain in touch going into the last quarter then anything can happen.

    Their forward line is the big worry for me. Good blend of talls and smalls that can do some serious damage if let off thr chain easily. Elliott is in a rich vein of form.

    Go Dees.

    I’m forever an optimist, but I must admit to struggling all week to make a case for how we can win today. Then I remembered last week’s Demonland Podcast, where @binman proffered the very cogent view that he thought we were ‘loading’ ahead of the Saints game, to have us peaking for today. I like it!

    Dees to grind out a 9 point win.

    On a train going to Fed. Square. Lucky socks are on 👍🏽

    Running late. Called a Didi (poor man’s Uber) to take me to the train station and he never showed up! Had to walk 20 mins to the station in the rain.

    As I’m boarding the train he messages me with “I’m at your house, I’m In a bit of a hurry. Where are you?” 😳 I messaged back “Are you [censored] serious???” Now his phone’s turned off. Dude won’t know what hit him when he turns it back on… hope he enjoys the messages I sent… he’s gonna wish I had a coffee first 😂

    But this hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm at all! It’s dampened my lucky socks, but not my enthusiasm!

    Let’s do this, Dees!!! 👊🏼

    Not confident to be sure, but I expected that we would cop a huge belting from the lions and that Sydney would beat us.

    What do I know except those lucky socks can work magic.

    Go Dee’s

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
