Roost it far

And then Port the week after that

Petty at CHF with Melksham beside him and Brayshaw playing 4 quarters and we win by a comfortable 4-6 goals. It's a cruel game and we've covered our injuries exceptionally well. Last night was a massive missed opportunity. I really hope we're switched on and blow the semi final opponent off the park in a cruel and brutal fashion.

I could not believe he missed that, unbelievable error from a senior player.

Pickett doesn't go missing, he works incredibly hard, always has a close tag and works in a forward line without a true key forward and one that regularly has 30 players within the arc. Watch the replay and tell me he's not working his backside off, then watch Salem who must be injured.

Agreed, the problem for Maynard is after reaching both arms in the air to try and affect the kick he rolls his shoulder straight into Brayshaw's head. Maybe he couldn't or be expected to do anything else but I believe the rules state he owes Brayshaw a duty of care. I reckon he fails in that duty. I actually like him as a player, he's one I'd love on our team.

Whilst I don't think Maynard wanted to hurt Brayshaw, if the law states he owes a duty of care to him he clearly failed in that duty. He leaves the ground and hits Brayshaw in the head with his shoulder knocking him out cold. I'm not sure where his defence lies. JVR will get 2 weeks.

We lose Brayshaw and likely replace him with JJ We lose JVR and it's no one, I think they'll go with Grundy but Schache would be just as useful Can't see them making any other changes except maybe the sub position but for whom?

Grabbing the ball and kicking it forward as far of you can to an intercept is not what we need from him Melbourne: Lower your eyes Melbourne: Do not Panic

Let’s just cool the jets folks. The pressure was enormous from the Pies. We kick a bit better and we win.

What a major bummer

Brisbane flag favourite

Here we go

Leaving home, got an hour's drive and a nice walk across the Fitzroy Gardens........let's go Demons!!

Shot of whiskey, 5 mins of shadow boxing, a high pitched yell of "Go Dee's" and you'll be fine. If it doesn't work simply rinse and repeat until it does or you pass out.

If it’s Diabetes 2 then diet and exercise will conquer it. I’ve had 2 friends who both got diagnosed, changed their diet, lost weight(lots) and now have no sign of diabetes.

In the workshop with AC/DC blaring. Let’s get it on!!!

I don’t think it’s going to be wet. I think we’ll get a shower and it’ll pass quickly. The front is preceded by a thin rain band. Both the front and the rain band are tracking South West. Most of the heavy rain will hit Portsea and Bass Strait. Obviously the many retired Demons down in Portsea will be snug with their superannuation, cash, property and share portfolios and will likely not even see the rain. Although looking out over the Bay from the cliff top may leave them with vertigo. Cheers to all, leave the poncho’s at home.

Is it ever not windy in Warrnambool?

I'll feel a lot better if scores are within a goal at quarter time.

It'd be a great get I reckon. Has pace, good skills and needs a fresh start. He will know the drill. Come to preseason fit, work your absolute butt off and just maybe get to run out on the G with the best team in the land. Over to you Shane.

Without a doubt. The next biggest for me was the last round in 87 at Whitten Oval. [censored] that was a big day.

Here we go.........I'm in the grip of a finals fever and I'm loving it!! Go Demons, unleash hell!!

We’ll know the answer in 24 hours Sleep tight my friends

That’s what my head is saying but the Pies won’t go away

That just makes me more anxious Anyone else feeling sick?
