Our form has gone up and down all year, from week to week and even quarter to quarter. Most of us recognised before the Cats game that our best is very good but it doesn't come out often enough. That is our challenge, to bring it every quarter every week and start knocking off some big sides. Tonight is a chance, we just need to bring it 100% of the time. Again it needs to be taken into consideration that we are still very much below full strength with 9 genuine players unavailable. Also, the Eagles seem to matchup really well against, having beaten us the last 7, with 3 of those times by over 90 points. The fact they have never played in Darwin is very interesting, it could be that we are looking back at the end of the game discussing how that was big advantage for us. IN any case, I can't wait. Hogan, Brayshaw and Viney alone make the dees worth seeing these days, and I think we're building something special.

I'm not sure why but I'm nowhere near as concerned with Naitanui as I am with other parts of West Coast's side.

Their dynamic forward line is a huge threat, as is their midfield (Gaff, Shuey, Priddis, Selwood, Masten). Those are the two areas we have to focus on, way more than Naitanui IMO.

I know deep down we are capable of winning this but as with the Geelong game I also know that if we don't put in the right effort and have 22 performers we're not going to win. I'm so excited to watch it play out though.

Shatanui is terrible around the ground, just a dead set plodder

Gawn can run him into the turf and put it on a platter for our midfield.

60 point loss coming up, just got that feeling...

Wait I have that every week...

ha ha

No one can blame you for that - I wonder if the more senior players have a similar mindset going into these games

I'll be most interested to see how we respond if we can generate an early lead ala the GWS and Port games. If we manage to get in a similar position that will be the real test of progress. How much does the Geelong win mean and was it a watershed one? I've been very excited for this game, but the closer it gets, the more nervous I get.

mm best way to deal with it is keep your expectations realistic - hope for a combative effort - if things turn bad I have the latest Hannibal episode to watch :)

Sitting in the Bamboo Bar in Bali before flying out to Timika at 0130hrs tomorrow morning. Quite a few Bogan WCE supporters in attendance so hope to be sticking up them later today.

On a side note, Gary Abletts beard looks good.

How long until the Media™ criticise him for it if the Suns keep losing?

I'm surprised that no1 is suggesting McDonald to darling? Darling is renowned for his endurance and we have no other backman who can go with him? Dunn will have to pull something out of his arse like he has in the past on other forwards :)! Agree with garland to lecras too. Getting excited for the match!! Go dees!

Just seen the scores from our last 5 encounters with WC. Average 70 point loss per game. Funny how the mind shuts out such painful memories. We need to deliver some serious payback. This may be our best chance for a long time.

Why is it a specialty?

West Coast's biggest scalp is Richmond . it should seriously be game on tonight

While being too tall seems problematic for Darwin, conversely for the last few years we've been undersized every time we play WCE. It's not Jamar's fault that he's a comparatively short ruckman, but having two genuinely tall ruckmen in the side is a big change which may well make a difference. Also, having a genuine crumber in Garlett makes the tall forward line less problematic.

But I still think we'll lose by about 8 goals.

All the games have been close so far this round. Playing in Darwin may even the game up. If were close enough in the last, we can do it.

I read yesterday in the herald sun that Gillon had made the booking to attend our match. Not sure if he will still make the trip after yesterday and the tragic circumstances but maybe he was going to have a look to see how the game goes up there and if people are interested.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
