I'm quite an old fellow (52) and I'm certainly a pathetic tragic (my wife tells me this constantly). I know that I'm surrounded by other pathetic tragics I on this site so I'm among friends. But I've never been so excited about the prospects of the club as I am now.

I don't know if its the threat of extinction, the prospect of a backs to the wall fight for survival, the cleanout of the place, the arrival of Jimmy, the exciting crop of recruits including the young Messiah, the influx of indigenous players, the prospect of an 193cm quick forward with huge mits from the NT, or a combination of all of the aforementioned. I'm telling you, my blood is pumping and I am AROUSED!!!!

We have a potentially wonderful mix of height, speed, skill, grunt and smarts. They will mature as a group in about three years. Its a very exciting era to witness. Yeah Baby Yeah!!

    I'm of similare vintage btdemon but your "arousal" should be kept in hand.

    We have been excited before, we have been the Jan Feb stars on the track before.

    We will turn flamboyant footballers with a natural instinct for the game into meaningless running robots who seek positions where neither the ball or an opponent exists

    The only thing that stops us year after year is the rubbish we have to beat.

    At the start of every seson I pick us to win the flag. I'm gettin [censored] tired.

    Well I am 23 and a pathetic tragic, but I feel the same.

    With 34 players 25 or younger, we have set ourselves for a tilt...if we're patient.

    And with 22 players on our senior list 21 or younger at the start of next season we have to be very patient...

    Still, there is excitement in the development; 2008 had Buckley, Garland, Martin, Warnock, and Wonna.

    Who will step up in 2009?

    I look forward to finding out.

    2009 - Grimes, Pettard, Spencer, Martin - These are the ones I'm looking forward to watch. ignore the high profile recruits and take enjoyment out of some of the others developing.

    I don't like naming 1st year players but for me spencer is shaping up as one of the most important young players on the list.

    Does anyone have any odd's for the Dee's making the 8?

    Whilst I'm probably just as excited with the turnover of our list, I also think you need to keep your "arousal" in check. Smaller portions of Viagra recommended.

    Arousal isn't just sexual you know. Just a general state of exitement.

    Haha........yeah i know....I was being a smarta%$#!!! Don't get too excited is what I meant. Keep a lid on it. :lol:

    I too am excited about our future. But then again, I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. These players we've drafted will take a few years to develop into AFL players. But I can see a core group of exciting young talent that will take the first step towards success in 2009.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
