Don't worry Ethan it's in the bag!! I'm confident on this one and I'm sure you will relish the opportunity of being boorish, uncouth, unsporting and foul mouthed toward your fellow employees.

Win by a lot and we could move to 9th. I am not giving up on the finals dream!

Geeze we've butchered some opportunities. Could almost have kicked 100 points.

Matt Jones has been dreadful.

The rest is pretty positive,

We certainly have, but it's great we are creating them.  I dare say that we would have converted them at a dry MCG and not in slippery NT.

It's a shame about Matt Jones - we works his socks off, but his disposal tonight has been shown up in these conditions.

For those that have a crack at our leaders that goal from N. Jones was all about leadership. Took it on himself and delivered.

That Pav free kick was very soft. Had it been a first year player it would have been play on.

Even when we're running all over them, disposal letting us down. Just so many of our players with questionable disposal and a real lack of footy smarts ... M Jones, Harmes, Hunt (OK, young), Kent (great with the goals in front of him, but too often turns it over), Grimes (of course), Petracca (OK, young) - there must be a few I'm missing as well.

I know a few here [censored] about Oscar Mac, but at least he usually hits his target. Speaking of which Mitch White looking good. Some footy smarts.

Carry on.

When was the last time we'd put a game out of reach at half time?  I know - careful not to jinx etc, but I can't see this game becoming more free flowing and high scoring as it goes on.  The players all looked stuffed.

Probably should be in front by more given our domination but hey if we continue on this path it'll be a very big win. I also suspect that if we continue getting these numbers the dockers just won't be able to hold us back.

No mercy Dees, kill their spirit in the 3rd quarter and go for the jugular!

Playing in Darwin is ridiculous. Players are out on their feet before half time. The humidity must be killer.

 

We are playing now okay-ish and controlling the game, which is great to see, but Its a terrible game to watch because of the conditions.

 

Need to come out and smash them early in the third quarter - the heat will inevitably kick and and then go out of the game after the first 10 mins IF we can again hit the scoreboard.

 

My only complaint currently is that we are not absolutely burying them.

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons and the Dockers meet on halfway on neutral territory in the heart of the country in Alice Springs and the Dees need to win to hold onto a place in the Top 4.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training.

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
