We beat the Crows over there.

The brilliant Pies, so good they can' t pick a whole lot of stars, get beaten by 4 goals, though big Tex was a liability!

You think so?

i thought Tex was fantastic. Very mobile and gave them a great target/option in the 50 and up the ground. Didn't snag any but added a lot of other things.

We played with heart and spirit over there, we are still learning to play like that every week. At the moment it comes and goes in patches.

Adelaide and Collingwood are both better sides than us, but can be beaten with determination and commitment to the team, style of play and game-plan.

Me too mate, loved that he got under the skin of a few pies as well.

Oh.... I thought every game was the same.!!!...

Significantly, it was on the same ground, after Coll. had a week's rest.

I'm not saying it suggests we're premiership favourites , but perhaps the Adelaide effort was more important than we think.

it showed what our minimum standards for success should be, we are yet to consistently reach those for an entire game. The Adelaide game being the exception.

Adelaide had the weeks rest as well, but don't get me wrong I personally think we are significantly better now than we were earlier in the year and I would back us to have beaten Meth Coast (still our worst performance by a long way) in the last 3-4 weeks. They are absolute front runners and loaded with downhill skiers

Would have him at the dees in a heartbeat. Please try to at least to "tempt him" MFC. A crack at it is better than no crack at all.

Thought for a minute that you were talking about the $10,000,000 man.

I really loving this season. Teams are up and down week by week and the ladder 'range' over which surprise wins are happening is more than it has been in years.

I have no idea how we are really going overall, but I went into last week's game thinking we were a shotto win, and I'll go into this week's game thinking the same.

And the disappointment of round 1 is being steadily eased each week, as it feels like St Kilda have gone backwards since then while we have made progress.

We could easily have 4-5 wins

Saints,gws , gc and the doggies we should have won from.where we were at 3/4 time in those games which would have had us 6-2

Could of, should of but didn't. The facts are we lost to GWS, Bulldogs, WCE, Saints, GCS and Sydney, three of those teams will be in the bottom 5 with us and Brisbane, two will finish in that 7-12 area on the ladder and one is a top 6 team. Adelaide is another team that will be around 7-12 on the ladder.

I think over the next 8 weeks we get a true indication on if our team has improved we have a run now of teams that are looking to finish in the top 8, Richmond, Port, Collingwood, Essendon, North, Bulldogs, Fremantle, Geelong then Port again. The bulldogs are the only team that definately won't play finals footy, Essendon, Richmond and north will be like WCE 7-12.

You don't expect to win many over the next 8 weeks, we just can't get blown away.

I'd be stoked with winning 2 of those games and been right in the rest it's vital we don't get destroyed

Except Richmond who will finish 9th

This season I care less about beating bottom sides then I do challenging good sides. No point beating Brisbane if we get done by 100 points v Hawthorn. That said Id be happy with a few wins against any side as long as the difference btw our bet and worse continues to improve.

    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.
