Sorry I had to gloat & say I called it... my prediction yesterday morning :P

 

 

I said it in the preview thread.... Call me mad but I think we are a real chance today. I've said on this forum numerous times, I said at the start of the year we'd beat the Hawks once... The effort & performance last time means we wont be fearful of them today.

I can sense that this young group just have this feeling of "todays the day we arrive". We were down last week so we should be up & about if our inconsistent form rings true. I can just see us clicking today, I dont know why...

We have a pretty good blend of toughness, pace and firepower. If we get on a roll next year we could do some damage. Thank Christ they don't play GF's at Etihad.

Oh well, GameDay's a shocker anyway- they would've just fawned about bloody Cyril anyways. 

I'll wait for channel 9 footy show. Absorbing/gathering all the media I can to help bathe in this experience. 

Happy Sunday morning!

Roosy was saying in the post match presser that we won't be playing finals, but to my reckoning we're three games out of the finals and North Melbourne in 8th and three games clear of us face Hawthorn, Sydney and GWS in the last three rounds - all tough games. Whilst they're 9% clear of us, three drubbings and I believe we're still a mathematical chance? Or am I missing something.

Amazing to be thinking this way at Rnd 20...

Trying to recover from my hangover is my initial target. I just slurped down more water than I usually need to shower.

Given your status and profile surely champagne and a hamburger with French fries is called for

I think we can still make finals if we win all 3 and North lose all 3 and make up the percentage difference. Tough 3 games for North too. Dare to dream. Highly unlikely, but......

Yep.

2005 all over again. 

The situation is giving me ideas about next years season slogan - "No more if only"

The problem is we're relying on North to lose each game, which looking at that is quite probable. But they also need to cop a few beltings because we're about 10% behind percentage wise.

We then need to win the final 3, as we've seen this year we're not very consistent. Hopefully yesterday was the start of something special, hopefully we back it up next week and beat Port, a percentage boosting win would be handy.

Very true.

All the positive change in the club over the last four years stems from his leadership.  Was great to see him standing alongside Roos in the rooms waiting for the players.

    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.

    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.
