I know it's unlikely but if we manage to beat West Coast this week I really believe that finals this year aren't completely out of the question.

IF we somehow win this one, we then have Bombers, Lions, Saints all at the mighty MCG. Deadset chance to be sitting on 8 wins 8 losses and 5 consecutive wins. Some say it's dreaming but if you look at the facts it is seriously on the cards. Having said that, our final six games are tougher and we would have to win 4 of them at least... but if we did get into that position where we are 8-8, anything could happen

I've said yes to the poll - mainly because I think as a club we're finally headed in the right direction.... No instability and everyone should be on the same page moving forward as a club

If we can keep Howe and Garland in the off season, top us with some classy kids again we really should be pushing for Finals in 2016

As for the next 4-5 games, C&B I would love you to right - WCE in Darwin is a bit of an ask... and Ess on the rebound from Darwin with the Bombers being the underdog for once might be a big ask.

My rational side is saying don't get ahead of ourselves as there will still be some a few more disappointment to come this year - but hell to rational, 8 - 8 would be an awesome we should be aiming for - Bring it on Dees! Get on board!!

I'm opting to take a deep breath and see how we go this weekend. Let's not forget this club's history of ripping hearts out of chests.

All of our wins this year have resulted in, "How good is out list" or "Our good is X player" threads, only for the following week to lean into, "Where did it all go wrong" and "We still have a long way to go" threads.

Finals are a possibility this year. We *can* make it if we play consistently good football of the ilk that we saw last weekend.

Ultimately, the team still hasn't managed to play consistently good football for longer than a week.

    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
