With the Crows shock win over the Saints, we have now slipped to 12th.

With a win over Norf tomorrow we will climb back to 11th.

Nothing groundbreaking, but in spite of the fact we'd receive a draft pick 2 positions earlier, it is a weak silver lining and personally I want the win.

It would send Junior off in a fitting manner and would give us some momentum going into next season.

Reprehensible concept, wanting to lose for draft picks, I know, but I thought it was a point worth raising.

If Port lose, we're 10th.

Here's the breakdown as far as I know.

(Assuming Port lose or draw)

If we win, we get picks 16, 33, 50, 67, 84 and so on... (incidentally, the roos who are 9th, would get pick 17 straight after us... Gold Coast's picks in the first round end after the team who comes tenth... until the start of the second round).

If we lose we get 12, 31, 48, 65, 82 and so on.

Not a huge difference... but unlike any normal year, we would drop 4 spots if we won tomorrow (and Port lose).

Belt North relax then prepare for China.

melbourne need to forget draft picks....a draft pick is just a for one player....a win means 22 boys have put it together on the day...a great way to finish off the year...

north beat us last time...each win removes doubt amongst the players...

last year was good to lose but this year...we want to finish with respect....sponsorship and confidence will be better than 2 picks early in a draft for one player...

By my reckoning, we've only played 6 really good quarters against North out of the past 36. 2 out of the last 28.

This is something I'd love to see changed today.

Where do you get these stats 45!! And the time to find them...I like reading them and i have all confidence they are correct, but they are astounding to see written sometimes!!! B)

This was a combination of lookings at the scores for the past 9 games we've played and the memory of what happened on those days.

In this case it's not so much of a statistic as an opinion, but I think if many people undertook a similar exercise they'd probably come up with something pretty similar.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
