I've put $50 on us against my Pie mate. Winning has clearly gone to my head.

This makes me a feel a bit better about my foolishness. Massive out along with Swan. Shut down Daisy and we're talking business.

I thought Swan was close to coming back?

Would you risk him a week before the bye?

The Pies have bigger fish to fry, and coming back from a hammy is something that you wouldn't risk at this stage in the season. They didn't have him agaisnt us last year and we still got pumped!

Unlucky for Pendles, I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed (for this week that is!).

They won't bring back any of their injured players. They'll wait till after the bye and attack the second half of the year.

As a result, they'll have a sub-standard team in.

As a result, they only deserve to be favourites by a margin of about 50 points, instead of 75.

I know we just won, but Collingwood is the premiership favourite, and deservedly so, and they are not weak as the proverbial in the wet, so even if it rains, they aren't going to wilt like Essendon did. If we play our best, and we attack the ball, spread, run, and all that, it could easily be a contest, maybe for a half, maybe for three quarters. Obviously after this round anyone can win, but we really have as little a chance as can be.

I bet you couldn't believe your eyes when the organisers put him up at $560,000 at the start of the year? That was until you realised that they would give you that in credit if you put him in your team!!!

Good news but they had a slew of players out last year and still pulled down our pants to give us the mother of all spankings. Last year was an embarrassment hopefully we can atone for that next Monday.

He's out, but in comes Swan so they say, and more than likely Tarrant, but will Tarrant pull up well enough?Wwithout their two best mids and key defender the chances are raised slightly but as mentioned, wait for their mid tiers to destroy it, like Wellingham last year.

I reckon Mark Neeld has had half an eye on this game for a while...

Hopefully lightening will strike twice.

Just watch Wellingham, Sidebottom, and Beams stand up.

^This. But I hope not.

Wellingham had a day out last year, Beams is in form and Sidebottom is as slippery as they come these days; real quality.

Swan could be included, so we will have our work cut out regardless.

    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.

    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
