For anyone watching on TV today, Channel 7 are showing our 2000 Qualifying final against Carlton before todays game.

It's a timely reminder that if you get the right mix of talent and grunt, you can turn it around quickly.

Still the best footy experience of my laugh. It'll take a Grand Final win to top it.

How many "free kicks" can you see if that game was played today. I'm yelling in the back and holding the man at the TV and no one at the ground thinks its out of place

Spirit and attitude too. Touches of arrogance even when we weren't favourites.

What is amazing watching it back was the players who kept us. With Farmer, Neita & Woey were being well beaten, It was the likes of Walsh, Collins, Leoncelli & rookies in Bruce & Green who kept us in touch at 3 quarter time.

That's a coach & FD getting the best out of young players and few average ones. Getting them to lift on a big occasion and play for each other. Motivation and the will to win are 2 amazing ingredients if you've worked hard at your skills and fitness pre season. You can't JUST train and expect to turn up and it will just happen on the day.

You need to do special things and make extra efforts on game day to win the big ones or pretty much any match in the AFL now.

Alot of people have said recently we lack genuine champions of the game, in my opinion David Neitz is just that!

i remember in the 2000 finals series my house was full of red and blue streamers and i thought we were a real chance of knocking off the bombers.

How good were bruce and green in that last quarter. I remember when we came back in the final quarter I was sitting next to an old man and he looked at me with a bit of a tear and said we are going to win. That was a brilliant game. It was up there with the 98 finals wins against stkilda and adelaide.

But, but, but... Neale Daniher was a buffoon of George W. Bush proportions! He ruined our culture! I also believe he sank the Costa Concordia before moving onto the Eagles and destroying their list!

Rewatched this again this morning to lift my spirits.... There was a real hard edge to our team that day and a fair bit of swagger too!

Neita to mentor Tommy Mac and The Ox to work with our key forwards.

DemonWA Stephen Powell came in to support our volunteer program late March.

Said he kicked 4 goals in the prelim & 3 in the grand final, but the heavy loss in the G/f sorta washed away the good vibes.

Said Wallace dumped him out of the Dogs because he was too slow. Interesting.

yeah i never understood why so many clubs were happy to trade him. Quality finisher.

glad to hear he is still around the club!

    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

    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
