Super nervous and keen for a beer 8 hours before Gawny jumps. Will try and time my run. We've been pumped up so much this week. Trying to put all of those big games we've blown over the last decade out of my mind. This team has transformed, this team has transformed....... To all those heading there tonight. Soak it in and yell your guts out. Go Dees!

Congrats to Jade. I really rate the guy and believe his been a huge part of our growth and success. The teacher of our game style at Casey with the youngsters and they've gone so well there. It's highly likely he'll get poached but geez I hope we don't lose him.

Yes me too. I was pissing myself laughing after Viney crunched Selwood and was awarded that free kick. So funny so good

I think Gawny had a crack about Melbourne playing two Friday nights in a row during his interview with Eddie on Fox last night.

Brilliant. Best seat in the house.

Thought Danger was a real grub tonight.

My favourite moment this season was watching the start of the final quarter.. Selwood pulls a free kick from viney. Viney picks up his mouth gaurd as Selwood goes to take his kick. Selwood tries to play on and slips over and gets caught by Jack. Ball goes forward and Jones kicks true. We're home. My kids are 19 and 21. First final they can remember the Dees winning. We've got some forward entry work to do but jfc we play some s**t hot footy. How do I get from Ballina to the Pondsford for next Friday?

Where's Viney

Just wasteful. Gus and Tyson need to lift. Keep the pedal down Dees. They're garbage. Hit the chris sullivan line this quarter and get it done.

Pushing in the back no longer seems to be a thing tonight.

A colussos in fact.

Oh gee he's recovered. What a champion...... I'd prefer him in the team if we play them. He's just not that good.

They are the benchmark for the competition. Like a big black and yellow blanket.

Christ there's more commentators than players

I really thought he was gone this year but to his credit he's just kept working away. Maybe another Nev Jetta story of perseverance for JKH over the next couple of years.

Tough calls to be made at selection which is a nice problem to have. I think a big question over who comes in and goes out is "who performs best under intense pressure"? Can't wait for the bounce tomorrow to see how we roll.

Fantastic pic and memory @Ben E Hope there's more to come Friday night. I hope Viney rips some limbs off Selwood and we smash em

Just bought the book last night chook. Now we've made the finals, I'm mentally sound enough to read through the disaster that has been. If we'd missed the finals again I couldn't have gone near it. Still feel guilty for what I put my kids through.

I agree with a lot that's been said above. Lowering our eyes into 50...... Not pressing too hard and being hit on the rebound.... Straight 666 formation. I think with Viney in, Goody may play Clarrie a little more forward at times again too. A big factor will be how we start. We can't afford stage fright. I was stoked to see the whole squad went down to Casey and watched the team absolutely murder 17 AFL listed Geelong players on Saturday. No percentage on offer and they still hunted and pressed for four full quarters to beat them by 91 points. Ruthless footy. It's given me a lot more confidence the way the whole squad is in this together. Geelong will buckle if we bring this pressure to the game. I think they'll target Gawn heavily this game. The spotlight has been on him these last two weeks and I think they'll be out to physically target him and grapple with him in the ruck. There's been many games over the last two years where he's been impeded by the other ruckman when they are losing and he hardly ever gets a free. Not sure how we will counter this? I would expect Selwood to possibly try ducking and playing for frees :)

Is that you Yoda?

The same from me guys. It's a pleasure to roll through the thread and see how the game unfolded. Thanks for the update. @Drunkn167 sounds like the best day down there mate. Great to hear the whole squad was there for that obliteration. Can't help but feel really excited for our club. Crack in hard Demons!

Are these guys run by the federal liberal party?

Great stuff!

Clarry has me hitting the rewind button more than anyone else. Probably the most skillful player I have ever seen. Right now I'm lovin it when crazy horse frost gets his hands on the ball. Viney for his courage and the way he would run through a brick wall for us. Gus for the way he's come back and improved. Our next captain with Viney once Jones retires I reckon. But geez if we had 40 blokes with the resilience and never say die attitude of Sir Neville Jetta we'd be unbeatable. Every second week he seems to get poleaxed and he just goes again. Never let's a tackle slip. Has to be Nev for mine.

Sounds about right for him. How do we get rid of this numpty?
