Stuff doing it for Roosy.

Do it for the members, 10 years since finals, yet we still are able to break membership records.

This team might just be starting to take pride in the mighty red and blue jumper, and not a moment too soon either.

Agreed. But the man who made that happen is Paul Roos

I'm watching the replay and I'm convinced that the rivalry between Adelaide and Port Adeliade is completely fake the way Mark Ricciuto fawns over the Port Adelaide players.

It's like Australia vs New Zealand. We heap shite on each other; but if anyone invaded we'd be at each other's backs in a second. Roo is an SA man first and foremost; it would take a lot for him to go against that.

I remember hearing that and thinking it was Ricciuto at first, then realised there was no chance as he was actively rooting for Port to win.

I was hoping it was you mate!

I was on the other side of the ground.

As I mentioned before, Ricciuto was supporting Port from the first half of the replay I've watched so far.

When we were 8 goals to 1 up you could just see Roo and Brereton begging and hoping for them to come back.  Derwayne is just as bad when he commentates our game, a comeback would be 'massive' in his books.

If Dwayne was commentating last night that would have been the "Richmond" of commentating teams.

OK, I haven't read the thread yet and I only watched on a tablet, but my thoughts so far go thusly:

Oliver's goal was just awesome.  To think that he's still in his first year, the kid's ceiling is just insanely high.  This is a first year midfielder who ran back into the face of the pack, crashed through them,  brought the ball down on his side and had enough balance and poise to get a boot on it and score the goal.  There are plenty of KPFs who couldn't have done that. 

OMac's one-handed mark was a thing of beauty.  They had him right where they wanted him, his right arm was being held and a crumber was waiting for the ball to spill in exactly the right spot.  This is a KPD in his second year holding his ground and calmly reeling it in one-handed. 

I'm not at all worried about Hogan's antics right now.  There have been plenty of high quality forwards who started their careers with questions being asked about their attitude and body language.  Jack Reiwoldt comes to mind.  My big concern is whether he will ever get that kick sorted out.  Is he going to be a Trav Cloke or a Wayne Carey? 

I am so damn excited about next year with this group of amazing kids coming through together.

Why not? I've heard they're a barrel of laughs.

The boss is from SA so we thought it only fitting to call him "barrels". Took him 2 weeks of a few of us calling him that to ask us why... Not sure he is sold on it, but it has stuck.

Was watching the replay last night and caught the interview with Max Gawn at half time. It was heartening to hear how much praise he had for Goodwin and McCartney, relieves some of the angst about the handover as well as about McCartney considering the fallout he had with some of the senior players at the Dogs.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
