Maybe that was our bad quarter....here's hoping.

Hope so. We our 60 mins away from discovering if this team is the real deal.

Did the players do it again and talk themselves that they had already won this game

Also, Bugg, you can stand up now and be a total dick again. It worked wonders last week.

Nobody's started a scrap yet and St Kilda tend to fall apart under serious grunt; get the hell into their players and make it dirty! We have nothing to lose.

This has probably been mentioned, but Petracca needs to take the first option. You're not a superstar yet, son. Don't over complicate it.

Hard to see us winning this. All our vulnerabilities are exposed in one fell swoop.

Gawn, Viney, McDonald, Watts, Garlett, Kent et al are all well down. Saints want it more.

I just think we're flat. They have all the run.

Worst possible time to play the Saints at Etihad for a home game, with 5.5 days rest.

You could tell from half-way through the first they were tired.

Riewoldt has just worked out that we're playing zone defence, so he just puts himself in the "zone" of Jetta, Salem or Jones.

Or Wagner, Salem and Hunt.

Inexperience.

Wouldn't mind betting on Garland back in next week.

Lol's at those sticking it to the first-gamer.

Who's sticking it to a first gamer? People are giving their opinion on a player most people have probably never seen live before. It's only natural.

We are complacent on and off the field this week. 

So risky playing Wagner Hunt and Harmes down back. No experience and running out of legs. I mean I know everyone on here hates them and they're unfashionable, but we have two seasoned defenders in the VFL in Garland and Grimes. At least they'll give a defensive contest and won't run out of steam at half time. 

Add to this Petracca who isn't even ready and was pushed ahead of guys like ANB who has been smashing the door down at Casey. 

I thought we were done with this [censored] development mode and that we are now trying to win games. I hope like hell that we start winning the clearances or we are truly [censored].

We're not really. They dominated that quarter. Shouald be 5-6 goals down.

Ignore the scoreline, we're cooked. We have no energy and it won't magically appear after halftime.

We needed more changes than just Brayshaw with so many in-form players in the twos knocking on the door. Adding a 0 gamer to an already green team was comfortably risky and borderline stupid after a 5.5 day break.

I actually believe the Petracca selection was more about trying to get a bigger crowd than smashing the door down at Casey...

I stated previously that I believe he should've been held back until our MCG home game against the Bullfrogs

And yet, we're not. We were on top in the first, no reason we can't get on top again.

True. Just think we're flat and they play the ground too well.

We were only on top because we won every clearance. The likelihood of that happening for the next half is low.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
