Just confirmed on the wonderful DEMONWIKI site what i suspected......our last win in round 1 was in 2005 ! I'll be taking the advice of Corp. Jones in "Dad's Army" if we lose: "DONT PANIC" !

Should rectify this record on Sunday. Sydney have some major injuries (Malcheski, Kennelly, Bradshaw plus others) and we play the G' well. Need to get up on Sunday.

We should know in the first 5 minutes whether the team is "on". I find it amazing how many times this scenario sets the tone for the entire afternoon.

All players should be pumped, no excuses whatsoever. There will be a big Crowd this sunday of Demons...i dreamt it 2 nights ago.

My footy dreams turn out correct more than not!!!!

We are now in the business of breaking those records as we march upwards.

No more AAMI hoodoo.

We will own North this year.

A win at the cattery. (I was there for the last win; one of the best days of my life.)

And my personal favourite bundling the Dawks out of the finals (hopefully this year, if not next year)

Yes i remember that so well from 20 years ago. Beating Hawthorn twice in 2 weeks-Who else got even close to that achievement. The Filth owe us a bucketload for that years flag. They were shite scared of the Dawks back then.

Indeed it is even worse.

We haven't won a game in the first two rounds since 2005.

Terrible record. Need to beat Sydney to change it. Certainly cannot see us beating Hawks, so if we lose to Sydney, record is likely to remain until at least 2012.

Sydney have a lot of injuries but they are hurting after our thrashing last year. They will be fired up...

Absolutely we are going to have to play very well to beat the Swanettes.

They made week 2 of the finals regardless of our thrashing. We better be on. It's at the 'G so we must make it count.

Hopefully Bruce and Dennis will once again get more than a little excited in the commentary box!!

Happens too often for mine - guessing they've been put to sleep listening to B) DB's pre-match

Oh Yeah!!! Very memorable , "WYL",(though it was round 22 and the first final, not the Round 1 this thread's about).

Remember Greg Healy taking that Gutsy mark running back into Langford??!! Courage personified!

I sort of wish we'd lost, now, since I'm sure Hawthorn would have knocked Collingwood off(as they might have to this year).

Our first round record is a bit worrying. Every year we go in "underdone" after a poor record in NAB Cup(or equivalent) and practice matches. Despite not bgoing flat out, we're crippled with injuries.(perhaps that's why?!)

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
