Melbourne Demons: Taking It Easy Before the Big AFL Grand Final Showdown!

Hey there, footy fans! The Melbourne Demons are on fire, and midfielder Alex Neal-Bullen isn’t buying any of that “lack of football is a disadvantage” talk. Nope, not at all!

So, here’s the deal – when the big day arrives on September 25 for the grand final against the Western Bulldogs at Perth Stadium, the Demons will have played just one game in 27 days. Yeah, you heard that right! They earned a fancy week off after sending Brisbane packing in the qualifying final. Then they stomped all over Geelong on a Friday night in Perth, earning themselves another fortnight to prep for the grand finale. It’s like a footy vacation!

Some folks are scratching their heads, wondering if all this time off is a good thing or not. But Melbourne is like, “Nah, we’re lovin’ it!” They feel all fresh and pumped after the break, mentally and physically. So, bring it on!

But hey, they’re not getting carried away with daydreaming about lifting the AFL trophy. Alex Neal-Bullen is like, “Chill, folks! We can’t win it right now. We gotta wait for that magical Saturday night.” And you know what they say – the decisions you make before training make all the difference. So, they’re gonna stay cool, calm, and focused.

Now, let’s talk about that quarantine drama. The Bulldogs are still stuck in quarantine until this weekend because of their trip to Brisbane on September 4. It’s like a timeout for them. On the other hand, the Demons are free as birds, roaming around the community, and guess what? Some of them are even having some quality family time! Ain’t that sweet?

But wait, there’s more! Tickets, tickets, tickets! Melbourne’s Demons fans went nuts and snatched up all 12,000 tickets in a heartbeat. Sold out! And the Bulldogs fans get their shot tomorrow, so brace yourselves, folks!

Now, for the rest of us eager beavers, the general public sale starts on Thursday. Y’all better set your alarms because there are at least 10,000 tickets up for grabs. Oh, and that number might just go up if the Bulldogs leave any leftovers!

So, there you have it – the Demons are revving up, the Bulldogs are waiting to break free, and the footy fever is in full swing! Stay tuned for the AFL grand final showdown – it’s gonna be a ripper!
