Having watched the GWS win today it is clear that draft picks, if used correctly, are the gold of AFL football. GWS have a sensational bunch of young kids and they have clearly drafted well. We haven'

I don't know if I can be bothered with this if we win the spoon this year. We will move a couple of positions up the draft order but will lose 5,000 in membership and many could have been members will

Well we're not Geelong, we're pure rubbish. Beating Gold Coast and GWS by 1 billion points wouldn't change the fact that we're pure garbage and it wouldn't change the team's attitude about anything.

They will take us too easy Dr.

They will think after beating WCE etc.. they are a lock for the finals and only have to play the Dees at home.

Think we are easy beats.

A few players will be back and we will surprise them.

They are there for the taking.

We could easily rise to 15Th ( Redleg are you reading this )

Two more wins and the Dogs will lose all four. GWS are a win and we will beat Freo in the last game with a few players back.

We would squeeze into 15th. by percentage

old dee, your posts are articulate and make sense.

You'll need to revisit this comment.

Lol. We are.

Also they are outside the eight on percentage. They will want to smash us to ensure finals.

Just a small joke there Nascent.

After a win enjoy a little fun.

So, you're back and 2013 looks better already? :)

Not really jr

Just enjoying a win feels way better than the last five weeks.

All I want from 2013 is 6 - 8 wins.

In fact all I want in the future is a team that wins more than it loses.

If anything better happens so be it but I am over waiting for the Dream to be realised.

A winning culture with respect is my goal.

6 - 8 wins? I'm expecting more than that AND I'm expecting some tough, bruising encounters.

All for positivity and fun. Although it wasn't pretty, we got rare win... gotta be happy with that. Plus Essendon lost and are a step closer to missing the 8... all round a good day :)

Expecting more has been beaten out of me JR.

When it happens tell me what a pessimist I was.

Until then I will believe it when I see it. The cattle are not great.

Unfortunately, although we won today, it was a gruesome performance on our behalf. Our midfield proved once again, that they are not up to it. We got smashed in the clearances and generally played at a very ordinary level (there were a few exceptions of course). Howe and Tappy were probably our best and even Tappy had a couple of clangers by foot.

There's no way we'll finish below that mob, but we're still a strong chance to finish below GWS.

Another glaring deficiency that today exemplified is that we don't have a dominated second string key forward to cover Clark. Of course we knew this, but it underlines the importance of high picks this draft.

    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

    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.
