Absolute disgrace in today's Herald Sun for Kiss of Death to predict a win to Collingwood on Queens Birthday.

This has certainly influenced me to change my mind about the result. KOD never gets it right.

Stranger things have happened :) The Pies aren't travelling that well and a few of the guys, still with us from back then, can reflect on how well a young inexperienced Demons outfit did against them twice when they won the flag in 2010. I'd be gobsmacked if we did win and I do realise that we didn't actually win one of those games in 2010, but at least we were in the contest dammit. Did I mention we were young and inexperienced back then...

Or just goes to show that even someone (thing?) that is OBLIGED to tip for us can't stomach it anymore....

Someone has had $500 on a Melbourne win. Maybe they know something we don't!

Hopefully it was a Collingwood player

With Gawn and Sellar both playing for Casey today, it will be interesting seeing if the punt with Toumpas and Co. pays off!

Yeah, they know we only rock up once a year - queens b'day.

Although we don't win many, we make them competitive when we have no right to.

I still remember slick Rick Pettard fumbling that mark that would've got us over the line.

Even to this day, the missus says that I should let it go, but easy said that done - especially after a few jars.

I don't mind the punt on Toumpas, he's capable of playing well in the AFL, I mean he's played senior football in the SANFL and his body can handle it, he's no twig.

Gawn is still a year away in the AFL, he gets pushed off the boundry throw ins far too easily, he needs to add some muscle - there is no reason to rush Gawn.

Keep in mind, it's Max first year playing for the senior side, the difference between VFL ruckman and AFL is massive, ask Jake Spencer.

Reason enough to trade him.

Why, why, why.

Omens. Kiss of Death supports the Demons and then the MCC plays 'Sympathy for the Devil' just prior to game commencement.

Unfortunately, omens don't count for anything.

Better than 'Under Pressue' which is what they played prior to the match starting when i was there a few weeks back!

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
