OhMyDees

Just imagine how much more worried we’d be if Bruce and McLean were in their team…

Where’s Mumford when you need him?

Time to avenge 1954 😈

I believe.

Demons have a never lost a home Preliminary Final…

First - Don’t remember. Best - 2000 Qualifying Final (Leoncelli’s goal to hit the front was epic - had number 36 on my back that day). Special mentions to the 2006 and 2018 Elimination Finals, Round 11 (2004) belting Freo in the driving rain at Subi and the Round 22 (2018) against the Eagles at Optus. Worst - 2018 Preliminary Final (especially the being verbally abused by Eagles fans and them doing a Mexican Wave in the last quarter). Special mentions to 1998 Prelim and Round 12 in 1998 where Geelong had us in a spliff and only kicked 1.1 for a half…

Me too! I have Eagles mates going to the game on Demon barcodes and all are barracking for Melbourne. I reckon we’ll easily have the crowd on side!

Mum, sister and brother-in-law from Perth all got tickets on my barcode. Brother-in-law is a Collingwood supporter but he’s barracking for the Dees on Friday! ❤️💙

Check your emails Demonlanders. The MFC membership team have sent emails out today so encourage us to give our barcodes to family in friends to go to the game and support on our behalf which is being permitted. I have my mother, sister and brother-in-law going and have sent them two of my old scarfs in the mail. Melbourne members are first in the queue for seats ahead of Eagles and Dockers members tomorrow between 12pm and 4pm. Demon members can purchase 8 tickets max! Didnt think they’d allow that sort of thing but so happy I was wrong!

Cats have slapped up both the Eagles and Dockers this year and we only just beat the Eagles so we will have the neutral crowd. That and we’re the fairytale story… If we do have the crowd surely that’s a +10 free differential out West - lucky we aren’t playing the Doggies lol 😂

I won’t lie I could accept losing a Prelim to the Giants but not to the [censored] Cats. I don’t want to even contemplate it.

Are we not forgetting they played with basically their full squad against the Giants who were missing, Toby Greene, Tom Green, Jessie Hogan, Sam Reid, Xavier O’Halloran, Brent Daniels, Nick Shipley and Braydon Preuss. Yes my MFCSS is in overdrive right now but having said that the Cats were lucky not to face a fully fit Giants outfit and it’s not surprising they won by 35.

I suspect Collingwood would rather have played GWS than Brisbane in their 2019 Prelim…that didn’t work out so well. I think GWS without Greene if suspended and with other injuries from their game will make it hard for them in the Semi. Don’t like playing a side twice in a month when Round 23 felt like a final but I think we’d be good enough to put either side in a spliff if needs be. The more injuries the better is all we can hope for and that their game goes to ET 👍🏻

Really hope he can have dental treatment services to fix that up before the Prelim!

It has been 7,685 days since our last Qualifying Final and I still remember that classic as a 14 year old watching Brad Green run riot against the Blues at the MCG. I’ve never seen a more hungry side. If we bring the heat and the pressure we’ll put the Lions in a spliff. Just hope I don’t do another rage quit before we go on and do a 46 point turn around…🙄 Never have the Lions or Power been given a greater unfair advantage in a finals series. The AFL have done nothing to make this season fair on Melbourne based clubs but the boys are good enough to overcome these challenges. Dees by 22 points - ‘Play On!’

Not to forget that both top 4 teams who lost their QFs last year made the GF.

Not enough injuries. Glad we dodged the Port bullet. Totally unfair to have teams have no Home Ground advantage but QLD and SA teams do. Should have both Prelims in Perth / especially since GF will be there.

I want Port to win! I believe if we’re lucky to make it to a GF I think we can beat them. Geelong can only win if Hawkins and Cameron both pull hamstrings…

Watts’ 2017 QBD goal was magical. I’ve watched that probably a thousand times - especially during the dark times of our seasons in 2019/2020. Before that, Brock McLean’s 2006 Elimination final goal against the Saints was was my favourite.

On reviewing the footage, almost looked like Brad Close could have made it a double 50m for Lever as he ran into the protected area while Cameron stood on the mark.

Weatherzone app. I don’t hold any fear of whatever weather happens. We’ve been great in the wet this year!

Weather for Saturday night. 9-17°c with 90% chance of shower 5-10mm….

I’ve checked the WA G2 pass website and you’re correct - as a medium risk you need to be an ‘approved traveller’ to get let in even to do hotel quarantine. This may change if we were categorised a low risk but I just can’t see that happening in time.
