Nathan seemed to be training well today so I don't know why he wouldn't play, especially when Roos stated that we would be fielding our best side.

It's all about the ball movement for mine and the concomitant impact on game plan.  There's a high degree of anticipation as to how much impact Goodwin has had on the game plan and to what extent the

I'm one who cares about practice matches / NAB Cup. For years I've read on here the old chestnut "it's only a practice match" as if an ordinary display by the team is some sort of anomaly, and we're g

I know it's only a practice match with a glorified title, but for me, a NAB Challenge win on the weekend is important. First, it will be a strong indicator that at least some of the key element

Our strongest fit side. It wouldnt make sense to risk our captain and arguably one of our most important players, for the nab challenge. The whole idea of the nab challenge is obviously to shake of some rust but also give the young guys a taste

will be great to Oliver, Wagner.  also Hunt and Frost

3 players to be dropped from the squad by satdy: maybe M Jones, O Mac and ANB?

the team has a real young feel to it. not many over 24, in fact, not that many over 22 yo!

So who's our midfield leader in that group? Viney? Tyson? Maybe Gawn...

Easily Viney.  He'll go banana's in the middle and set the tone for the rest of the players.

Pretty good side picked, very interested to see how we go against pretty strong opposition.

Agree. Quite like playing against a strong Port side. Their spread against us last year was unbelievable, would be good to see how we have developed over the off season.

Was it last year Viney kicked across the face of goal in the NAB cup straight to an opposition player who goaled straight away?

We've been called 'the young demons side' for the past 50 years.

Hey boys and girls. 

I’ve never before set foot in 'lizbeth, but I’m going to risk the pearly-whites and pop over to Playford on Sat for a squiz. I know it’s televised, but anything in particular the people here would like me to keep a close eye on in person?

Keep a close eye on your wallet for a start. Dont talk to strangers. On a football note, let us know how Salem goes and whether his role is solely off half back or he moves about a little.

A port supporter on big footy literally just called this game 'the Viney cup.' Facepalm... I hope we won't beat those flogs.

How ridiculous. Obviously they should be playing for the Matthew Bishop trophy.

(and what's with those last 7 words?)

    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
