I have a theory. It isn't particularly revolutionary but here goes Backs. Probably as good as any in the league. We also have some depth too. Whilst we all would prefer to have Jetta playing I don't

Agreed. If everything goes right we could well win 10. Given we could have won 6-8 last year. It's all about confidence. If we can string a two or three together who knows.

We're not better than Collingwood I'm afraid...they were hard at it yesterday and Figjam has them on the right track. We are better than:

Bears

Suns

Blues

Tigers

Saints

Doggies

and maybe the Eagles

Agree - Collingwood were good yesterday and I think on the right track in terms of list management, culture and game plan. Wouldn't be surprised if they finish 5-6th and play deep into September.

I reckon we will win 6-8 including matching it with and beating at least one of Geelong, North and Westcoast - teams which have bullied us since we have been a rabble.

I think the pass mark for this season is a percentage btw 80-90% and being a contender for finals 2/3rds into the season. This is important as it means we have something to play for in the last 7 or 8 games.

We are not as good as Collingwood,Brisbane ,Geelong or North.

We haven't beaten them in years.

We are nowhere near Sydney,hawks,freo,port.

We are probably the equal of the dogs.

We are 5 goals worse than the crows.

We are better than Carlton .

Yet to prove we can do the Saints.

The gw scums are heading for the eight.

West coast are another one we can never beat.

No offence to the OP but this is a ridiculous conversation to be having in round 4 with our opponents having been GC, GWS (who pansed us), Adelaide, and the Tigers.

We are an up and coming team, that is all. We still have along way to go before we can start talking about who we're better than. On their best day the Tigers are still probably better than us.

I have to agree.

We must be the worst group of supporters at keeping the lid on our team.

Our best is good enough to push any side and beat most, but our worst is bad enough to lose to St Kilda, Brisbane or any other bad side.

Hate to reduce the impact of your otherwise good post, but it's round 4 not round 3.

what a bunch of old misery guts.

Dare to dream, Demons, Dare to dream....

Believe me, having seen our start to the year I'm dreaming much bigger this year than the last 8 combined.

I have much more hope, but that doesn't mean all of a sudden we're the 8th best side in the AFL.

Can you blame some of us though? So starved of success.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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.

    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
