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.

Suburb, Satan? Pop it over on the 'Flying (Laying?) The Flag' thread too🙂

That's one of the weeks ticked off!😁

Thanks thanks thanks again @The Mighty Demons And how's the crowd noise, particularly after #2. Looking forward to that love, very predominantly for our boys, on Saturday week!

Some great insight and analysis in the foregoing; thanks everyone - my insecurity is greatly diminished! A common thread has been 'to be The Best, you beat the best'. I agree, and we have been provided that opportunity in the most clear way. A win will be a great win. And for the unaligned (poor b******s) it will be a great game and certainly not one of the many fizzers of the AFL era (specifically not mentioning two of them...) One 'margin', observation: I was worried about this if Port we're in, but with the SA team out, I expect crowd support will favour us as well as, if not better, than Friday, thanks to the way the team played and entertained and the individual/character highlights. We got in first and WA won't be dropping us; indeed, I reckon a fair bit of rusting on might have happened! And so, though the Dogs clearly aren't concerned about 'away' crowds, I'm thinking (a) the boys continue to get inspiration they obviously value and (b) the Optus/umpiring effect will favour us (already did?) And in passing, mustn't the AFL be rubbing its hands having two teams whose colours are on brand with theirs! Two weeks of a pretty narrow palette everywhere we look coming up (though cue the pale blue ump strip too? LOL)

...or this guy: https://images.app.goo.gl/6hUnHXWnxzATQJ9J7 A New South Welshman, but full name (I just learnt) Peter Malcolm Sumner-Potts. Surely, then, a Melbourne Football Club supporter.

On ice for a little longer, Mr Stone! Meanwhile, Melbourne Football Club Supporter Stirrings?

Scars? What scars?

He was everywhere last, Max, even taking marks on himself (the latter being a familiar position to him btw🙂)

This thread is going to go MENTAL now!
