I wish we'd gotten the Port that didn't even show up last week. We always get teams on the rebound.

Luckily North got Hawthorn on their rebound this week.

Reading Demonland... Thinking we have lost by 60. We just beat Port at home by 40 for the first time in 16 years. Deadset guys.

3% reduction on North.  Another 3% each against the Swans and GWS brings them down to 102.5%.

Our % now is 102.58.

We just have to keep winning, a good win against the Blues would be handy though.

Port are probably in a better position than we are.

Us at home, Adelaide at home and Gold Coast away. Higher % too.

This is a huge game for them.

Agreed, but they were offensive last week and we were excellent.  I'm hoping that continues ?

I'm really hoping that last week has taught us to lower our eyes going inside 50. With Hogan back into the side, we don't want to revert to our old habits.

I think we might need to be patient tonight.  Port, on their home turf and after last weeks 'effort', will no doubt come out breathing fire and looking to kick a few early goals to get the crowd behind them.  You can see the downhill skiers now - Wingard, Gray, Ebert, Dixon, Westhoff etc will all be up and about and I think it may take some time to weather that storm.  If we can do that, and limit some of that potential early damage, then we can easily get on top and run all over them as the game wears on.

So, if Port do kick the first couple, there is no need to go and jump off the Westgate Bridge.

No late changes for either side.

Every time I see your username I think of this:

"Oh it's a scythe!"

Not sure how many will get that, but it always makes me smile nonetheless!

Couldn't be better conditions for footy. No wind, clear night, no dew. 

Behind the g, adelaide oval is the best viewing for footy. Dees boys just walked off looking very confident, do not look intimidated at all. We haven't won a lot here over last 3 years, but we have taken it up to adelaide amd port each visit and won in 2014. Looking forward to it, go dees.

This is not going to be an easy game, I think we will win but we can't take it for granted.

After the Essendrug game i don't think we've done so. Just beaten by better teams on the day.

Still a very inexperienced unit so still expecting a few ups and downs. Hoping for the best tonight.

    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
