Well! It's Grand Final Hump Day! In the spirit of our times, then, everyone, RUOK? And what will this week hold for you that last week didn't? For mine, I've found I've become progressively more relaxed and am becoming open again to other things in life and the world (though gnot all good!) And the GF is feeling more like a dream and less like a reality. But, now, 'ALL CHANGE!'

I'd expect the medical staff would be well armed with 'travel bomb' kits, consisting of antibiotics and symptom-targeted preparations. From experience, these effectively tackle 'gastro' inside 2 days.

From little things...

...as our boys will be, through the same period and on The Day.

Without wishing to undermine your partner's great work, FD, may I caption... Strangle those Dogs!

I'm thinking the media has squeezed the various Dees angles dry for the moment and the circus has moved to the Dogs. Dunkley(?) made a bit of having half the team know the experience of the lead-up and game, from 2016, and being able to impart it to the other half, as a help and an (implied) advantage. Apart from Beveridge probably not being too happy with Dunkley's 'share', I'm not sure the same affected the 2016 Dogs or helped the 2016 Swans! And I'm confident our coaching team will see, address and use that. Moreover, to the extent such experience is useful, our coaching team has enough of it, in contexts of actual success, to go around. Plus, as this year clearly indicates, they have the ability to instill their messages very effectively.

And that's only Day 2?! High bar!

...and Chris Grant for them. 1994 Semi Final: G. Lyon - 18 disposals, 10 goals 4 behinds C. Grant - 6 disposals, 2 goals 1 behind I wish I believed in omens...

You're sleeping?

Just had a sneaky at your profile, WCW. Looks like there's any number of Demonlanders'd take you in!😉

Just a little sidelight in the build-up: Demonland posts sit at a tick over 1.9 million. What chance these 2 extraordinary weeks take us through the 2 mill? I feel like we're tracking well - I know I've found an extra gear (as some may have noticed😏...)

And 2 is a favourite number atm - the number of premierships the Dogs will have on 26 September.

(*shouts back with excitement*) WE CERTAINLY WILL!

Gotta like them odds...

Does anyone think they might have been conned by scalpers (or, worse, by Doggies supporters 😲)? Alerted by @WalkingCivilWar, I'm wondering... I wasn't using my code, and I wouldn't scalp it myself, so 'good luck' to them, but I do feel a little silly. It better go to a Raising Hell Dees fan, though!👹🤞

Met dank*, ADF! (*the nice meaning, footy folks)

I'll check with the family.

I'll message you, Crusty.

Magic, Flower! My heart. You know what it's doing.

On the basis of the preceding 5 pages, no. Just nice.

Somehow, let's make it An Event, Wrecker.

Some top choices there. May I add the debutant Christian Salem's Round 13, 2014 match winner v. Essendon, one of the ultimate team / length-of-the-ground / desperation / clutch goals; moreover, in dark times. A type of goal we're getting rather more used to. And without the darkness.

I'm not normally a baseball cap wearer but how validated do I feel atm, quietly proudly sporting this everywhere (in unlockeddownland - sorry...). And I get to do it for two weeks. At least.
