That's the ticket! Declare victory for the next round only hours a sour defeat! 

Gotta love Dees supporters! 

What I can promise is, unlike a recent Demonlander, I won't declare I'm through should we lose. Au contraire, I take a step closer to total delusion.

Pittard has such a weird looking face, very irrelevant I know

Not irrelevant at all. Ugliness needs to be rooted out, not just in football but society as a whole.

Haha! Don't get me wrong RTG, I like it. 

 

I think we should all clear the mind - forget individual performance, teams beaten/conceded to or Coodabeens - and take a look at the ladder. 

If someone showed it to you at Christmas time, how would you feel? 

I'd feel okay; it looks about right (bar the Freo car-crash). 

This isn't hippy s**t, it's perspective. It feels crappy right now, but take a step back and think about how we're not jumping off jetties for Bailey anymore.

We're gonna be alright. Right?

A little mindfulness could go a long way for many on this forum. 

Or sedatives.

Geelong giving GC a bath, lets hope they're stuffed come next week...

Don't worry, we're the #1 team in the league for getting out of form teams back into form, we'll get the bath at Metricon.

They've got some key injuries, but their depth is poor at the minute.  No one else stepping up.

Losing your first choice key defenders and coming up against an inform Hogan and Watts will be fun for them.

Think both Essendon and today proved that just because we're playing a team without a backline doesn't guarantee us a win. Yeah, Gold Coast look like garbage but so did the Saints last week.

5 seconds remaining in the third quarter with Port's midfield streaming forward, and Toumpas takes possession running out of the centre. He has a clear opportunity to put boot to ball and slam it so far forward the Tigers can't score before 3QT.

So he handballs backwards instead. :wacko:

Richmond are dismal. That's always good.

But Deledio said they have a list which can win a premiership!

Makes Viney's talk about finals seem pretty conservative, really.

Wow port 21 points up at 3/4 time. This is a team that doesn't contain 2 of its best players in Gray and Wingard. Geez Port please hold on. It would be a massive upset. I thought the tigers would easily win this.

That's true. Just not in the AFL.

If this is what the Richmond seniors are putting up, I'd hate to think what their seconds are doing! 

Maybe Richmond should cut their losses and switch the teams, so they can at least win a couple of VFL games this year. :ph34r:

100 point flogging for Gold Coast coming up. Is it just me, or have they been on 39 points for over a quarter now? I'm only going off the score graphic bottom right of the Richmond v Port game, but Gold Coast's score hasn't changed for ages!

I think we are on the verge of 9th on the ladder if Geelong win by another goal or 2!

Heh.  It'd be ironic if we stayed in 10th after winning two weeks in a row, then finally move up a spot the week we lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    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
