Big Col

Bont will get max 1 vote in the last 4 rounds. Wines and Clarry come home with a sail.

We now hit Wines purple patch - maybe 12-15 out of the next 5 games. I think Parish will drop off. Oliver gets 3 votes in Rd23. Maybe Wines gets 2. Boak will get the 3. It's going to be close. Lets hope Wines doesn't get more than 12 in the next 5.

where is this from?

Oliver is a chance for 3in Rd 11 and maybe 1 in Rd12 but is then quiet for a few games

Oliver will be ahead of Trac by Rd10

Channel 7 are big fat ones I'm not gonna kick my wife off the TV so I can watch something that is as boring as counting beans to someone who's not as invested as I am.

If history were to repeat and we lost this one but went on to win 5 of the next 6 and snagged another 4 years after that, then I’d have no problems dropping this one. All of us Demons are conflicted now. Of course we want to win in 2 weeks and break our drought but it wasn’t supposed to be like this. I was overseas in 2000 and promised myself after that that I would never be in a position where I could have to miss a MFC GF again. I have dreamed about this all my life. I have planned GF week - going to training, seeing the parade, meeting up with family before and after the game and just being there! F… COVID C’Mon Dees

That Hannan bloke! What would it take to get him to the Dees?

It is a very grand grand old flag!

This is GLORIOUS

They're both very good players and would get a game ahead of TMac and Brown if they were in our side.

Do us proud and do us loud! Devastated not to be able to see us play but rapt for the WA Demons who I had the pleasure of meeting some back in 2014.

Oh Danny Boy... the pipes are playing

Benny!!!!

me too!

Nearly a third of our team is AA! This is unprecedented for us. But yeah, after tonight, back to business boys. No more smiles. No wild celebrations etc until the job is done.

Max is Captain!

and on the wings...

Was a cringe moment, but I'm so in love with the Dees atm that nothing else matters.

I'm in tears watching this. The kids had to ask me what was wrong. Will we win any more? Meanwhile Petracca says "I'm proud to be one of five Melbourne players ... " and the commentators do an eye-roll. I guess we don't win any more?

I'm just trying not to be too upset about the fact that I may not get to see live the event I've dreamed about for the best part of 47 years (I'm 53).

He is our most important player IMHO A superstar. If I wasn't past having any more kids, the next one would be called Clayton or Oliver - whether a boy or girl.

Bompt has been relatively quiet the last two weeks while Oliver probably got 3 votes today and maybe 1 vote last week. I think it will be very close. I took a multi early in the season: Melbourne and Casey premiership and Oliver Brownlow. $10 @ $129.77. Pretty happy abput that.

The world is changed I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the recruitment of Petracca; Immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven picks were made between 2015-2018 - all great miners and craftsmen. Two picks in 2019 gave us Jackson and Picket, who above else desire power. And they were led by their captain Gawn; tall smart and with a will to dominate. For within these recruits was bound the strength and the will to beat every team. Yet they were all of them deceived. For there was another recruit. Deep inside the MCG a star emerged. And into this recruit were poured every Demons fans’ misery of 50 years, their malice towards the opposition and their will to dominate. One player to rule them all. The time will soon come when Clayton Oliver will shape the fortunes of all. [read in Cate Winslet voice]
