Not sure what happened to the site there. Seems the lights were on but nobody was home.

I thought the tone was set early by the youngsters - Harmes, Brayshaw and Viney in particular in the first half. The senior players stepped up in the latter half lead by Jones and Vince.

Nice to finish the season off strongly. Wasn't the perfect game in terms of ball use, but the effort was definitely there.

Loved the interview with Crossy. He was clearly on another planet, but it was great to see him able to be chaired off like he deserved. In a strange kind of way it seemed a fitting way to end his career - getting smashed in a desperate attempt to win a contest.

We NEED salem to become a midfielder for 2016, he has speed, amazing skills and creativity, he personifies the type of player our midfield desperately needs. unfortunately we need his kicking off hal

We also settled above St. Kilda on the ladder too. Considering the amount of excessive praise they had in the back half of the season, this gives me some satisfaction.

What I said before holds true today.

The only thing that matters is the amount of wins we record at the end of the year. By my count, we have close to doubled last years amount.
No one is jumping over the moon but it shows the virtue of patience and not throwing Malcolm Tucker style fits every time we lose a match we believe we should win.
Have a quiet froth, enjoy the finals and get ready for a bigger and better 2016!

Never realised that Harmes was such a great contested mark of the footy. Love him.

Dont care what anyone says about dead rubbers or 'meaningless' games

When you are trying to build a winning culture after a decade in the wilderness EVERY GAME IS IMPORTANT




That was a great win... a rotation down after Crossy got concussed , plus Gawn off for 10 minutes and everyone just expected they'd run over us like last time.



Our kids put on a show and we broke the Etihad curse. Finally there is hope and a platform to spring from moving forward.



Go Demons.

Nice end to the season. Great to see so many youngsters having an impact and Jones and Vince back in form.

Beyond thrilled that Crossy made it back. What an absolute champion he is.

Overall this season has been a disappointment but we do have many shining lights and a decent group of players which we can build a good team around.

My one off season wish other than giving Hogan a 15 year contract, is to add some leg speed.

Harmes needs to work on his disposal...

You're right, but it's not the first thing that sprang to mind for me when describing Harmes today.

The love for Crossy was fantastic, I had to remind myself he has only played for us for two years. Just shows that a player who gives his all, all of the time gets the respect.

There are way too many positives to take out of this game. Our young kids are just as good as WB and ST Kilda.

No problem. I think the site was just emulating the club's performances over the past month (today excepted of course :lol:)

A good send off for Daniel Cross. This has been an important year of broken hoodoos:

1. Beat Geelong at Skilled

2. Beat Collingwood

3. Won at the dome of death

Onward and upward for next year!

Got rid of the hoodoo, got another game into the kids, positive signs from a bunch of players, scored over 100 again, ended a losing streak against GWS, beat another side with at least 11 wins (that's four wins for the year against 11+ win sides), and most importantly went above St Kilda on the ladder.

    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

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

When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50.
