    Geez I want to win tonight.

    It really is hard to describe the feeling of sitting at that plastic stadium in Kerry Packer heartland watching us go from 19 points up to 74-points down in a little over a quarter.

    It is even harder to describe how it felt to see thousands of Freo and West Coast fans celebrating Melbourne's win as if the club were there own - purchasing and waving flags, scarves and goodness knows what else...then seeing the Melbourne players carry on afterwards. The whole thing with the song, mocking their oppo (who had played finals in 4-states), just winning without grace whilst we sat and watched ('cos that's what you do after a GF - you show respect to the winners)...

    Then watching us play "Let's kick it to Steven" alternating with "Let's kick it to Jake" in every game vs them since (apart from the Jamarra 5-goal coming out party that really ended up being a bit of a false dawn).

    I bloody HATE this Melbourne team.

    Get it done Dogs. Don't win by a bit. Win by a LOT. End their season.
    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

      I reckon Marra is going to have a hell of a night, with plenty of niggle off the ball. Will be interesting to see his response. Hope our guys are ready for it and dish it back even harder.

        Melbourne have become my most despised club.

        Can’t wait to beat them up tonight. **** ‘em. It’s time.
        Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          The other night at the Club function, I can't remember if it was Wood or Boyd who said they hate Melbourne with a passion.

                  Well I was wrong here. Could have had an absolute monster.

                    I just can?t get over the amount of scoring opportunities we generate. It?s nuts.

                        We did it mjp.

                        51 point the same margin we won by against them in the 1954 grand final.

                          35 scores (plus a couple of shots that didn't score) from 65 inside 50s is a very good result, particularly against the demons. The way our forward line is functioning, by genuinely creating space for each other, has made a huge difference to how we reduce interceptions.

                          It was a joy to watch those pricks lose. Two straight sets finals exits and then missing finals. It's a heart warmer.

                            How good did that feel. Loved it. Never in doubt from the first bounce when we brought that intensity.
