Good to practise winning

the big changes are Bugg Kennedy and Oliver. All 3 are ready to go foot to the floor

they give our midfield a completely different energy. 

Great game from Watts

now do it for points now Demons...

    A very ordinary first quarter but a much improved performance after that where we rarely lost momentum. Should've been a much bigger margin in the end. The two way running game is starting to really show and defensively we set up very well with most scores conceded from silly turnovers I think it was the best overall performance of the three games which bodes well for Round 1.

    T Mac made amends for last week. Jeffrey is a star and forward pressure was top notch. Kennedy a lot better and adds some much needed speed and poise forward of centre. Tyson and Viney solid but still untidy with foot skills. Salem has the tools to be a top 5 player in the league at some point in his career.

    With Brayshaw, Vanders, Petracca, Dunn, Lumumba and Trengove to come into the side that played today, we're poised for a good season.

    Ignore the commentators/media, they have been out of the game too long and have their own agendas.

    Our team has shown a very impressive improvement in getting/moving the ball - now it is time to capitalise on this improvement and refine the required skills and precision of movement.

    Be happy - the Dees are on the climb!

     

    Three from three is as good as you can get.

    The commentators are a few weeks away from looking like fools.

    They can say what they like I don't care because we won.

    More impressed by this win than the others because the Saints were at full strength and we were undermanned. The opposition obviously wanted to have a crack and didn't hold back. Several players are not yet ready for the firsts and Hoges had a stinker. Great to see that our forward line can function without him dominating thanks to Garlett, Watts, Kent and Kennedy. Clarrie likes a goal also.

    Understood. I think no web site will be able to withstand the red-and-blue energy that will burst out of the woodwork when we win our next flag ...

    I wrote this somewhere else but we've truly gone from the softest team 5 years ago to one of the hardest and Watts is benefiting. God damn Oliver is Brayshaw repeated. 

    It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.

    Temper expectations. Much better to be surprised than to extrapolate. What is clear is a discernable, intentional  application which has every opportunity to evolve.

    Garlett is becoming crazy good. Run down tackles (and pressure), freakish goals. NAIS!

    Jones giving it to that Saints player in the 2nd quarter, turning point.

    Does anybody know how Weideman, Hullett, King 2x went for Casey this weekend?

    I don't mean to be a downer, but i think Wagner is still a little way off where he needs to be for AFL level

    His first half was very poor, but he found his feet a little more as the game went on.  I think Lumumba will come straight in for Round 1 though.

    Reminds me of Harmes last year. I questioned his inclusion after 2 or 3 ordinary games and the the penny dropped..

    I thought we were quite ordinary apart from the few obvious standouts. 

    This isn't a negative comment, I think it's been a theme of the NAB cup, a lot of teams have looked ordinary but all kicked high scores. When was the last time we did that?

    Biggest positive was running it out so easily, I've seen teams struggle this round in the final quarter, we did it as good if not easier than anyone. 

    Being in front in the last quarter with the interchange cap is going to be hugely important I feel. 

     

    Hogan better sign up now or he'll have to settle for decoy wages supporting Watts.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
