I have to say it's been a while since we won and won the first round let alone kept going, normally we would have just rolled over once GC came back at us.

Its even nice to see us in the 8. My kids ask me every time the ladder has come up on tv who are we ahead of.

I try to explain to them its round one, but the happiness is there for them.

I'm still explaining it to myself. It's a slightly uncomfortable feeling in a way. Despite my eternal optimism I'm nervous that we will slip back. I guess we have to expect to lose more than we win but the enjoyment after the siren on Saturday was sensational. Uplifting, seductive and addictive. I want more!

I'm still smiling, but I'm also watching Hawthorn play Geelong and realise we have a long way to go!

But I believe we're starting to assemble a side for the long term.

Just happy to see the smiling and happy kids (and their proud but relieved parents) in their Demon gear in the last 5 minutes, at the siren call and leaving the G. That made me smile

I'm still smiling - I watched the replay yesterday and in part again today. I have threatened anyone in my household who dares to suggest that they will delete it.

Happy to be back to work tomorrow to discuss the weekend football with my usually smug Essendon and Geelong supporter work mates!

Its already Monday night too... and we play Saturday arvo.. Not long to go before round 2 vs GWS and looking for back to back wins for the first time in a long time

The real test will be when we have a bad loss and how we come back from it.

I am hoping that this group learns to play hard attacking accountable football every week no matter what the outcome of indivigual games and yes I still have a smile! Will be hard to shift this week.

If definitely was a good feeling but now that its Tuesday I'm already moving on to this weeks game against the giants.

That covers it Reverend

I plan on buying another three os memberships for friends, I'm so happy about it. I even managed to stream the game and watch it live while sitting in a hotel room with a 12mm bullet hole in the window. Another win and I will be convinced it's time to return to the G to see a game live.

    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.
