Tips, opinions, game day analysis.

NTNewsFrontPageBIG.jpg

I think it'll be a very hard game to win. Needs to be low scoring for the Demons to get up, and we need to see a return to the hard tackling, high pressure side we saw against the likes of Collingwood and the Western Bulldogs.

My tip: Port by 24.

Grey clouds rolling in.

Might benefit us. Thought we played pretty well in the wet against the dogs. The Power are not even close to the dogs in terms of class. That's what cost us in the end... a lack of class against the ogs. Would be happy to see slippery conditions.

Having said that, been up here in Darwin for a few days and the rain has been in short sharp stints. 5-10 mins at a time. I think it will be greasy regardless of what happens (due to humidity). Rain shouldn't affect the game much unless it occurs during the game for a prolonged period, which seems unlikely considering the pattern of the last few days.

I will be at the Bentleigh club for the game-hope to see a few demonlanders there in full voice.

Shall see you there in that case. I love screaming at that hopeless rear-projection TV they have up in the Members' Bar.

Yeah it's great ranting at a TV screen when the action is 1,000's of km's away!! But you just have to do it.

I have never seen a win at Bentleigh so i am hoping for a change of fortune

Yes i know, but like the team our away record must improve, plus the local pub never has the sound up.

We must win tonight!!!

I really should invest in a Foxtel subscription, but I hate the idea of having to pay for television WITH advertising! Plus, the atmosphere at the social club is always better than on the couch at home.

i think the conditions will favour the team with the more mature bodies tonight, as it did with the doggies game, that was the only difference that night we were clearly the beater team against the doggies

Yeah, we are usually up in the Members' Bar (ie. away from the plebs) with 100% Demons. Last few times there have probably been 20 or 30 there, but I would expect maybe a few more tonight!? Apparently they will be serving fingerfood and other nibbles at half time, which is pretty good as no entry is charged.

And if anyone knows how to watch the game without foxtel send me a PM also

Just post it here, I'm in the same boat as you

I really hope we get off to a good start. If we do, we could definitely win this.

This year we've generally come out and played well the week after a poor loss, and Bate being out is not going to be so crucial given the conditions. If ever a forwardline of Jetta, Bennell and Aussie were going to win us a game, this is the week.

I'll try and post updates as I've got Foxtel.

Aussie, Nev, Miller and Morton to Play

Before you Jump down my throat.

You will find Warnock was a very very very late call. Bit sore, long flight and PA have a very short forward line. This one was late decision

And dont be surprised if Spencer doesnt play and Jetta does!!!!

*From a different thread*

Good work Bails.

Bailey said on Fox Sports that Jurrah is another 4-5 weeks away, and he again mentioned Gysberts. I reckon the kid would have played if the game was in Melbourne, and will probably play next week.

I can understand why they would want to debut him in Victoria, so he can have family and friends coming to watch him.

Oh and I laughed at the excuse Bailey was trying to come up with in regards to the late change. Spencer's back didn't come up after the long flight. LMAO. Good lies Bailey, good lies.

Yeah, I noticed all of that too. Are we the side with the most indigenous players in it this round? We have 4.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
