Crazy stat -   Tracca and Oliver combined for 9 kicks and 38 handballs

And how awesome are they with their handballs.  Especially Oliver.  The guy rarely misses a target.  So quick, and so precise!  Very special!!

Jayden Hunt

That win was in 2010 and was 73 points.

I was close

Said before the season on one of the many threads how I am most excited to see what Hunt would bring to the team, have been pretty gung-ho about this kids prospects.

 

i had no idea....

 

 

great effort by the club, loved Harmes performance, love big Max - may the beard never meet with a razor! Jack Viney, loved his dad but Jack is looking like he could have a career that will put him to shame! What a second half, stunning stuff, demolished them but still managed to lay almost 90 tackles!

First half we farted around with too many handballs then bombed it long to the forwards, second half we played it smart.

 

Them losing two players helped but I think we would have won if we played the same way.

I always seem to be living in Japan when we are up and about.
I've been waiting to see us grind a team into the dirt for quite some time. To be fair, the Suns are way down on confidence. That being said, before this, we would find some way to arse it up.
I also felt weird in one way. I could see how an opposition supporter might looked at us around 2012/2013. We were tearing them a new one but strangely, I felt a strange sense of pity towards them. 
Anyhow, we have a BIG challenge next week. Can we back up? Watch this space.

Stockholm syndrome?

No pity from me - [censored] them!

I'm so rapt - so very excited about the future.

We are finally the team who comes out at 3 quarter time and smashes the opposition instead of being the team who gets smashed after half time when scores are leaved.

Woohoo!!!

THE BEST TEAM EFFORT I HAVE SEEN FOR 10 (MAYBE MORE) YEARS.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

And remember, we were 4 goals to 1 down.

When we did it to the Swannies in 2010, I was jumping through hoops cos I knew that we had just outclassed a team heading for September. Roosy said it himself at the presser after the game 'Not much you can do against team in that kind of touch. Just buckle your seat belt and hope for the best.'
Clearly, a lot of the Suns problems are between the ears. A bit like we were.

Was at the game and it was f a r k I n g awesome. 

First live win I have seen in years. 

GO DEES

Huge positive for me is the good players who weren't at their best as well! 

Tommy mac, Hogan, Watts and Dom for me were a little off

I know it comes under 'who cares' but there must be some serious problems also at GC. It's more than just injuries.

Probably the most boring 16 goal half from Melbourne that I can ever recall. Now I know what if must have been like for Freo supporters and like playing us for the last how ever many years. This is a good thing.

Go the f*cking Dees! Rapt with that second half.

Got a man crush on Oliver. He is such a beast, so solid and amazing around the stoppages. He's just like Michael Voss!

    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.

    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
