Mate just enjoy a win

There probably won't be too many this year

And to kick 12.2 under extreme pressure is a fair effort in anyones language

Cheer up Stuie

Mate I hope so

Saw some real commitment all over the ground in the last qtr from all the boys

Hopefully the boys can take some confidence from this

Terrible first 3 quarters, but I loved seeing the heart in the last quarter... it shows what we're capable of.

Even if it is GWS its great to be on the winning end of 12 goals in 1 qtr for once

Still a lot of hard work to do - I hope for some at the club it confirms that hard work will pay off

Yeah congratulations boys, you played 1 quarter of football.

FFS Stuie, they are going to be few and far between, just allow yourself a few hours of enjoying the win. Tomorrow we can conduct the post mortem of what occurred in the middle two quarters

I'm enjoying the win, and I hope we get some much needed confidence from it, but it just feels a little bit like wallpapering over the cracks you know? I hope it's a turning point, but the first 3 quarters tempered my hopes somewhat.

Mate spot on

No one thinks our problems are over now we won 1 game - just a relief and some pressure of the club and no embarrassment for us supporters

Lack of run and fading in the middle of the games are still big issures for whoever is coach

We can all hold our heads high tonight though after that last qtr (for a week at least)

Some would say sacking the coach was doing the same thing

Enjoy a win mate - next week I am sure we will be arguing again

I know what you say but we can address the bad tomorrow. Wins will be rare this year but living in Perth I go to work tomorrow after a Dees win and both WA sides losing, that will be even rarer!

Sure ... If you want to disregard the first 3 quarters then we might even make the finals.

Like WC last weekend against us?

FFS. No, we weren't perfect. But we still had a very good win.

Doesn't matter who they played today it was still the highest scoring quarter in the History of the football club. Conference is a weird thing, all of a sudden you believe. Take that to QLD next week and who knows we might just be 2 and 3

WC had more than 1 good quarter against us, look at the stats, specifically the uncontested possessions in the first half.

Fair call mate

But enjoy that the boys could pull that out of the bag

People here are willing to bag the coach and the playing group for the losses - How about a little acknowledgement when they preform well?

No one thinks we are back - but [censored] me the boys and coaching staff showed some guts at 3 qtr time

We all know our spread sucks, and that's why we NEVER win the uncontested possession. To point to that as a sign that West Coast played great last week is pretty disingenuous.

Confidence is everything in footy and these blokes have copped it from everyone over the past 3 weeks

It's easy to drop your head - it's a lot harder to come out and fight...

As i've said we are not out of the woods - 1 great qtr agains equally poor opposition is not proven success - but let's hope the boys can build 2 qtrs out of what they acheived out of the last qtr today

I didn't say they played great, I said they played well for more than 1 quarter.

Can't even enjoy it for 5 mins... Knobs.

Great effort to keep pushing and working, a long way to go but kept it up running out the game and smashed the last qtr.

Please be the start of some sort of turn around. I will not get my hopes up.

    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.

    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.
