We will win, all that is left is the size of the difference. 

It only Collingwood, their size is extra small.While Melbourne is extra large. It not a fair comparison.

Daydream Believer was one of my favourite Monkees songs. In fact I’m humming the song as I write. 

And it was a nice bottle of red.

My confidence is back to zero DF. This club has half a century history of disappointing fans and I see nothing that will change my mind. Every week I have been  waiting for yesterday's result. In previous weeks our improved skill level has won us games but yesterday we saw the MFC do the normal, lose a game that their skill level should have won by 10 goals. The tradition continues.

On the news and in the papers there’s been much ado about Geelong potentially losing 900k if no crowds at Friday’s game. Yet, I haven’t seen a scrap of reporting about our (twice as much) loss to date. I wouldn’t have known about it had I not read it on DL.

There a difference between home and away games and finals footy. We don't know how we will play in finals yet. But its not a bad thing to lose a few home and away games, as long as we keep beating Messydrugs and the Filth! 

However our long term plan to win number 13 has been to wait 100 years since our last GF win. I still feel we are on track so no need to panic.

Uncle Bitter you need to change your music selection to the 21 century, otherwise people may consider you to be a old fart! We would not want that to happen as your picture makes you look so young.

Don't panic.

We lost by under two goals, without another key forward, kicking badly for goal, losing the clearances, with several players badly out of form, our worst pressure half of the year and getting some poor umpiring, to a side that was desperate to win to make the 8.

We can get back to our best again.

Pity it will be after the 2021 AFL Grandfinal.

I think OD comments are sounding correct to me. Bring on the 2022 AFL season!

I am obviously older than i think.

There was a quiz show in the sixties called the Coles $64 question.

Top Prize was believe it or not 64 pounds.

So a difficult question was often referred to as the $64 question.

So my question to you I guess was when will we get back to our best?

Answer. When we get back to maximum effort and pressure, a settled competent forward line, good goal kicking and decent inside 50 disposal.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
