Here come the Dees

Dees are killing it. Last 10 minutes possessions are 38-9 to the Dees.
Max in the middle dominating.

Maaaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyy

Came back from the dead and finish top of the ladder. Brilliant.
Go Dees

Sky didn't show the Dees game. I was at them all week. So now I've missed the best game of the season to date. When I last checked the score we were down by 30, which I now read got out to 44, so this was an epic, epic comeback. What an incredible test of our mettle and a fantastic boost heading into finals week 1. Bring on the Lions.

Great to get a solid win over the Crows on Sunday. I think our first loss this season was against them, and they were a banana skin this time also. Hope the Geelong game is on the box!
You're proud of this?
Yep. I was at the MCG in 2002 when we lost to them in the finals, so I'll take any and every win over Adelaide.

few retirements at Tiger town
Bachar Houli finishing this week as well
Was he the bloke plucked out of the VFL to debut in a GF and almost won best on ground?
No that was Marlon Pickett.
Houli started his career with the Bombers and was in and out of the side (more out than in) for a couple of seasons. Then the Tigers picked him up through the draft.
Three? premierships for Bachar, have to pretty pleased with that on the CV

Not sure if this should go in sports memes…coronavirus memes…or here
@booboo the crowd made the grand final in 2017 so it hasn’t been a huge dry spell

@shark Dees will be my team for the finals given Saints have stunk the house out this year.
Have a soft spot for the Dees, I was in their catchment area during the old VFL days and their players would come to our school to run clinics. Got to meet Jim Stynes, Todd Viney, Sean White, Brian Wilson
I even got to wear the famous number 2 playing little league for the Dees.

While the Dees were awesome last night just get the feeling that September will be tough for them. Port looking like the real deal at the moment
I hope you're quite wrong, of course.
But also, every time we've lost this year I've seen various media say the Dees aren't contenders. And if you go back in this thread you'll see it at times as well. At one stage we weren't in people's top three contenders even. But then we've come back, and some of the wins have been quite impressive. And ultimately we played the way we did last night, not in beating an also-ran but in beating Geelong. After being down by 44. On two occasions. 9 goals in a row we conceded. How many teams will come back from that? Fuck all. So I think this year, this group, with 2018 also fresh in some key guy's memories, we might just be the real deal.

@shark don't get chippy
Everyone is a chance, and this should be a great finals series.
If Melbourne make it and the lions don't I will be Dees all in.
-
For some reason we're a team many like to be able to write off as being flighty, and/or pretenders.

just following up on @shark and his little victimhood thing
part of what makes this finals series so frikken great is that nearly every team has serious question marks around their ability in finals
The Dees played one big final in living memory and got fucking flogged
Geelong are perennial Prelim-finalists who usually lose it (last year they waited an extra week to surrender meekly)
Port have whimpered out the last few times
Brisbane have finished top 2 the last couple of years, first year out in straight sets, last year out in the prelim (despite a few advantages)
The Bulldogs play a style not many thing can actually win finals (and their flag is often looked at as an aberration)
Sydney are the only really finals credentialed club there
GWS made one GF and got flogged, otherwise they had a run of meek exits
Lol at Essendon.The lack of a Richmond/Hawthorn/West Coast "you know these blokes will show up" type club makes it even more fun. Someone is bucking a steroptype this year
My guess is Melbourne. The only club i hope doesn't is Geelong. Fuck Geelong.

the other good thing about this finals series...games in tassie...another chance for the locals to show if the6 will turn up for a local team
up the bloods
