In the P2 ballot as well. Fingers crossed!

I dont give a [censored], but again, why is there media focus on something a Melbourne players does, when guys like Duckwood & Dangerflop do it several times a game? Same as the Melbourne "can't beat top 8 side" crap while the filth go 14/14 vs bottom 10 sides and 1/7 vs the rest, with that 1 being us

p.s if it's not too much trouble I'd love a gif of Brayshaws mark and goal at the cheer squad end, followed by the crowd shot of the woman waving her scarf and balling her eyes out. Loved that moment

Ok dumb question... how do you get the video in the first place? Do you download the entire game from somewhere, or record it digitally somehow? My game replay is sitting in the IQ but I've no idea how I'd capture that in a video file.

@david_neitz_is_my_dad how do you make these gifs? I'd love be be able to make some myself

Haha, that's perfect!

Disclaimer - Big Footy I was lurking on the Norf board the other day to see what they were saying re Preuss trade rumour. One poster suggested they'd want Hunt in return. Another person shut that idea down based on what he'd "heard" re some off field issues. He elaborated when pressed but I'm not going to give it air and repeat it here because it's probably horse [censored]. And because Norf flogs & Big Footy. I'm sure if anyone is interested they could find it, however

Sorry if a repost...

Don't buy into the Melbourne hype. Well done to them and they will get pumped up all week, we'll be given no chance but we will win by at least 6 goals. Geee Geelong got reamed by the cheating umpires tonight. I hate Geelong but while the umpires continue to have zero accountability they will continue to get worse and worse. With even umpiring Geeling probably win, it was that bad. Geelong backed themselves to beat Melbourne head to head, and never fired a shot. As a result, all of Melbourne's lesser lights looked like superstars. Main worry for me was how bad demons goalkicking was. Law of averages will have them kicking Arsey ones next week Melbourne play manic but dumbarse football. If we keep our composure and structure we will smash them. We trashed Melbourne's brand with the 66 point belting in round 4 so I'm welcoming to demons back to the MCG with open arms next weekend. They will be having nightmares this week about the possibility of another spanking. Not sure what game some saw today. I think Melb played better game than yesterday's tigers. Anyone who thinks we will have it easy next week is kidding themselves. Melb tacking was 1st grade and the intensity they bought - if they repeat next week will end our season. To me both cats and Hawks looked slow and tired against two hungry teams. Their forward line is ordinary and ours is much better than their defence. Hawks by 13. I think we can't fall down to Melbourne's level, we are better but they are aggro and if we fall into their pace we could go out in straight sets. I don't think they have any edge pressure wise over us and we are definitely more skilled, just gotta keep composed which we couldn't against a much better pressure side in Richmond than Melbourne are. Don’t underestimate what Melbourne just did. Their contested ball and pressure was brutal and their run and spread was impressive. Sure they gave Cats a few chances to stay in it but the margin flattered Cats. And What chance Demons convert that poorly again next week? We need to be right on our game. Dees appeared to cope with the pressure of finals footy pretty well imo. They just let themselves down a bit with kicking for goal. I thinks its even money next week. Gotta say, so glad it is not Geelong next week. I am so over the nailbiters that our matches turn in to. With composure we’ll take Melbourne. There pressure was nothing like Richmond’s. I’m looking forward to next week. Personally think Melbourne dont defend against kicking teams well. They love a scrap, but seem to struggle against us, and always play much better v geelong. If its dry, there is absolutely no reason to not be confident. If its wet, it will be tougher. Make no mistake we will need to kill Bambi. It will be Hawks vs Australia next Friday. Dees looked extremely dangerous last night and far too quick for the Cats. Dees are more dangerous and unpredictable without Hogan taking up space. If the conditions are good and we play with the same intensity as we did last time against the Dees we will win this. We laid 115 tackles, 20 in the forward 50 last time we met. Compared to their 74 and 8. I also think our team looks better on paper than the team that took on the Dees in round 4 (with the exception of Strats). I'm not sure the Dees list is much better than it was back then, Hogan and Lever both played in that game. Melbourne have great midfield depth no real jets on the wings, I hope to see impey, smith played in attacking positions take them on. Melbourne are very dangerous if they can move the ball quickly and find a short-kick target. If last time was anything to go by, they will target Hawthorn's 'defender' without a defensive side; Sicily. Richmond did in the 2nd half and look what happened. Melbourne become vulnerable if you clog up the passage. They will also bomb the ball into the F50 in a faahion that will bring a tear of joy to Clarkson's eye. When things are going downhill for Melbourne, they are the most dominant side in the comp. But their Achilles heel is that when things are going against them, they drop their [censored] and struggle to turn it around. Case and point our game earlier in the year. Just got to make the game uncomfortable for a while to make them collapse - if not they could win by 10 goals. I’ve got a bad feeling about this. Didn't see much of Gawn in the second half. Was sporting a compression bandage on his calf and received treatment in rooms after the game. I'd like to see McEvoy run him ragged Melbourne are the AFLs 2018 fairytale. Gil likes to have a Cinderella story each year now, and this year I think it’s the Dees. We need to be prepared for some shocking frees against us. Mark my words folks, we will get the Sydney Swans round 23 treatment... Don’t mind the narrative going into this game- Melbourne; only team capable of beating Richmond, us; worst top four team in history. I want them drinking as much of their own bath water as possible. Truth is, our lead in to finals was a lot more difficult than the media would have you believe. And Melbourne are absolutely clueless when the ball enters their forward fifty. Melbourne will be hot favourites - media narrative already has them winning. That is great. If there is one club that does not handle expectation well it is Melbourne. Melbourne are high on talent but we beat them comfortably earlier in the year. Their system doesn’t worry me the same way Richmond’s does. Melbourne have a very solid game plan, although when the game is not played their way they don’t have a plan B. We will exploit this and give them a bath. The third will be the time to put them to the sword. 45 point win please. Hate to say it but for the love of god kick to whoever Lewis is manning. The champ is on his last legs and is deadset approaching crab levels. To beat Melbourne Smith, Gunston, Breust and Shiels all need to play well. Opposition teams are putting a hard tag on Smith and he's had no impact the last month. He needs to find a way to beat the tagger otherwise there's no one else who can run and carry like he does. Weight of expectation will weigh heavily on Melbourne , they play a “chaotic “ brand of footy but don’t set up as well behind the ball as Richmond which will give us opportunities we didn’t get Thursday night. Melbourne definitely is a better side to when we played them in round 4. In fact I felt of the four matches that were played among the 8 teams they were the best - (yes felt better than Richmond.)
-
Still only one win for the Filth vs a top 8 side all year, and that was us. Why'd we cop that narrative all season and they escape?
-
Good point. Go pies!! ?
-
Also torn. West Coast look more beatable. But then, assuming we get past next week I'd love to be at the prelim and love to knock out the Filth
-
Purely a hypothetical, but if Hogan & Lever were both fit, had match fitness & form, do they both come in? And for whom?
-
Brayshaw also another with a massive upgrade since then. Viney, Tyson, Vandenberg & little Spargo didnt play either
-
Thanks for that. Awesome work dd36!
-
Has someone got a clip of Jetta smashing Selwood at 4.30 mark of the 1st? I'm on to my second replay! 2nd & 3rd quarters certainly a lot more enjoyable without the stress of worrying about costly misses

Match Preview and Team Selection - Elimination Final
JTR replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
It has Viney & Hannan in Kent & JKH out -
At least we avoided Dick-holls

Barrett said tonight that Cats have "put a 4 year offer to him that's around about $2 million"

Agree with those saying JKH was impressive yesterday. He looked very slick and was one of the standouts. Hopefully it can translate on Friday
-
Lewis not training due to illness. Tyson said to a couple of people as running laps that he gives himself a chance

Am I the only one who enjoys sitting on level 4? During home and away I'm always in Q49 or Q50, which on wing beside the MCC. Best GA view in the house, imo
