Game Day 2022 QF: Demons v Swans - 2 Sep 2022 - 7:50pm - MCG

[RUNVS]

No changes - Campbell sub

If Campbell has to come in at least say half time I hope Longmire is bold with him and sticks him in the middle. It is where he plays his best football but he hasn't been able to play there in a full game as he doesn't have the tank yet. If he comes on halfway through the game his tank won't be an issue and he is likely to be far more damaging in the middle than down back.

where did the rumour start?

Some bookie wanting to manipulate odds?

 

[RUNVS]

Said on the main board as well but I think Hickey is our most important player today. I don't expect him to beat Gawn but not allowing him to have the type of game he had against us earlier in the year is so important if we want to win.

I think I've put the finger on why I get so nervous for finals games. It's not the losing, happens all the time. It's not the situation, lost fianls before. I feel nervous because I don't want the boys to be down if we lose (and all involved). I know how I will feel and just hate that that others feel that too. Not sure if that made sense, but it is what is..

On the tram into the city and its filled with Dees supporters. Booooooo

Not sure booing is allowed anymore.

I don't think they can be Demons supporters as a Demons supporter would never lower themselves to get on a tram with the common folk.

I'll just do it behind their backs and everyone's happy

It's very strange. Maybe it's interest rates.

 

[Millky95]

At the ground. Crowd building very nicely

Am still very nervous

I get nervous because sometimes making history comes down to something as small as Nick Davis' toe. Losing by a solitary point tonight could be the difference in winning the premiership.

 

[The King!]

Is Stevic a late out?

 

[swanssince2002]

Gonna expect a barrage of #FreeKickMelbourne from Stevic today!

 

[Donza]

Bit of drizzle coming in off the bay.

 

[Millky95]

Light drizzle coming in

Surely after his heorics Frozen is the song of choice?

 

[Donza]

Drizzle will push out by 8pm.

[MF]

No. 50% chance <1mm

A tiny chance of drizzle

Nothing much.

It's drizzling now

Wouldn't be surprised if the Dees give Gawn like 50% time in forward half to try and stretch our defence.

 

[Troystenvic]

Yep

 

[RUNVS]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Dees give Gawn like 50% time in forward half to try and stretch our defence.

It would do that as we don't really have anyone to go with him.

hayward could be a matchwinner, he has been kicking crucial goals and clutching marks
