I was overseas and missed the Richmond match but did listen on SEN poolside in Phuket. Looking forward to watching the boys in action tonight. I have planned a night in with pizza watching my beloved Dees. Friday nights do not get much better than that!

Capricciosa?

I remember the hawks playing this style early in Clarksons coaching career and they turned it over early on but as they played that way more their skills improved and the rest as they say is history.

Four observations: Most of our consistent turnovers came from players outside of our best 22. Hogan will play round 1 despite Demonland hysteria a week ago. Spencer will start in the ruck round 1.

Daniel Cross said after the game that "we're probably following the game plan too closely". It's an interesting observation, but makes sense. As the players become more accustomed to the plan, their

Yep, my son and I will be doing the same... pizza and Dees. (I want woodfired and he wants pizza hut... guess who wins)

I thnk you should at least let Georgiou play another game (even nab cup) before coming to any conclusions. I have never been a huge fan of mature age recruits (not like a young draftee where the sky is the limit).

Don't forget - for a long time we thought Magner was a gem. Wait for the derogatories to start lining up ('he is to slow'.... 'Nicholson is a better kick'.... 'he has no tank'... etc.)

I reckon he's absolutely certain to get upgraded.

Almost perfect. The only 'side dish' I would ask for to top it all off, is a win against the odds. Go Demons, do it for jane02 and all the rest of us!

Reckon some take aways with a bottle (or 2 - depending on the scores!) of red will do me just fine tonight while on the couch. :)

Mine is Thai take away some Crownies for re hydration and the red would be for medicinal purposes.

Would love to see games like this in the season. Stuff trying to slow it down to ease congestion lets make it like ice hockey and get players going full bore and screaming up and down the field.

Three hours to go. Not that I'm counting.

Twelve points either way and no injuries is a win in my mind.

Eighteen games in eighteen days - well I'm over that.

Twenty two days until the Saints.

Go Deeees!

    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
