Don't want to nitpick and it probably won't matter if we lose, but I like to tape the Foxtel replay of the game as it uses less space on the storage guide. Live is much more than the replay without breaks. I noticed we are only on replay once the whole week at 2.30 AM sunday morning and as well another program is listed at the same time.I can see the recording failing. Other teams like Blues and Dogs etc are replayed 5-6 times that I can see. Why is that?

If we win, that will be disappointing.

If we lose, that will be appropriate.

I would think that it is appropriate.

TV works on ratin,g that is who will watch.

Neither us or the Lions have big followings.

I would not be surprised if the 4th replay of Carlton and Richmond rates better than the first replay of the Dees.

We simply do not have the followers to watch.

If we win 7 out of the first 10 it might be different.

That can't be the case. Sydney v GWS is on many times as is GC v Crows.

Sydney vs the crows does not count there was nothing else to show.

And the crows probably have more members / supporters than the Dees and Brisbane.

AS well as that the SA supporters are nuts they probably watch the game mutiply time as they think the result might change.

After watching this match, it's easy to have the opinion that our players have not been developed in a manner that should have had us well and truly entrenched in the top 6 teams by now.

Our team is 80% senior players in this match. Experienced players are so much more important that we knew.

Amazing how the game changes so quickly nowadays. Flicked over by luck didnt realise the game was on.

A completely different looking Melbourne side that day. For starters, a crowd shot cut to our President and CEO.

Messrs Gardiner and MacNamee respectively.

Playing that day that are now departed were (I think):

Robbo, Wonna, Miller up forward

McLean, Bruce, Junior, White onball

Carroll, Bell, Warnock down back, Probably others i missed too.

A great game to relive!

Wheatley out there too................great to see that game again.

How well did Bate play in the second half.

Robbo and Wonna were awesome in that game, and you McLean was a ball magnet.

I think I heard the commentators say Jones had 24 touches and got on the end of 4 goals the week before.

    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

    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
