There is a tide in the affairs of men.

Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;

Omitted, all the voyage of their life

Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

On such a full sea are we now afloat,

And we must take the current when it serves,

Or lose our ventures. ~ Brutus, Julius Caesar Act 4, Scene 3 by William Shakespeare

Thank you WJ. All these years, I thought it was time not tide. I guess I have never seem it written before.

Bitters and Moonie are attending today but despite this drawback, I thought I might go in.

Speaking all things Gaius and Brutus- I do hope Bbo enters the arena wearing pants, not toga.

They say every dog has it's day but this is the one they get hit by a truck then put outside in the rain to suffer.

I have consulted the

Omens- the soothsayers- the bookies.

Dees by 13 points.

Have to admit. I'm nervous about this game.

We played the bulldogs twice last year for two close loses. Both games I think we should have beaten them but felt they got lucky.

Since then they have lost a lot of senior players and their coach. Yet they have improved.

The past 3 weeks we have played 3 very good teams and have been smashed each time. We should be able to put up a good fight. But will we?

I fear that we will go into our shells and get belted. If we do cop another belting, serious questions will need to be asked. And I dont think we will like the answers.

An error of fingering.

But self liking is in.

Wayne Carey tipped us and Cambel Brown didn't. We've got this in the bag.

Oh, and thanks for the tip Biff!

The fungal infection is acting up again so (for the sake of those nearby) I will not wear sandals. It follows then that I shall leave the toga in the "Roman" room at Romsey Manor.

Petrified.

I could handle a tight loss but if we get belted, I'll put the cue in the rack for the year.

This match has a similar feeling to the GWS one at the MCG last season.

I like Vince on the Bont, VB in the guts. If there's any chance we can play with some intensity we are a chance, whilst there's some passengers in the side there's enough talent out there to win if they play as they're instructed to.

If anyone didn't see the Burgoyne tackle last night do yourself a favour. The best thing about was ITS IN THE BLOODY RULES. We are a pathetic tackling side, when an effective tackle is laid the player being tackled should be able to dispose of the ball.

Honestly, it wasn't that great. It just looked good cause he smashed the ball out of the sydney players hands.

Armitage's tackle on Masten yesterday is a better example

He went so hard that Masten couldn't get up again

Unfortunately I think we will be fisted about as hard as a new prisoner sharing a cell with big bad bubba. Not going to be pretty.

We need Vince playing an attacking role, but we may have no choice but to use him as a stopper again.

I'm usually very pessimistic.. Go into most games preparing for the worst. I have a good feeling about today, had the same feeling for round one. Just think the boys will show something, the outs we have don't help but the been at the G is a help, dogs only play there couple times a year although they won earlier in the year against the tiges which turns out too to be no mean feat.. Big game for us really, the different between been 3-5 or 2-6 is huge just for the clubs moral. Tipping the dees by 11 points

I looked at our side on paper before the Gold Coast and Richmond games and thought "We can win this."

I looked at our side on paper against the Hawks and thought "We will get flogged." (Especially after looking at theirs)

I look at the side now, and still see 6-7 players that find AFL level difficult, putting it nicely. I think we're in for a tough day.

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
