I count 16 wins!

 

Am I being too negative?

Nothing wrong with changing your mind, but in 24 hours you've had more positions on this than the Kama Sutra.

Dear AFL, Please give us an opening round blockbuster to kick off the year, but not against Essendon because they'll be up and about, and not against Carlton because they've got the wood against

Excellent...We may finally make some money off this draw..

All depends on whether the team can win of course and not decide whether to switch off...

I like that we have a decent run at the G to start and end the season. One Friday night game is a bit poor, but three Saturday nights might make up for it. The amount of six day breaks is a worry, will test us. Positive overall though.

 

Listening to the bloke that released the draw, looking at how many 6-day breaks we've got is a very simplistic way of looking at it.  He suggested looking at how many games we play where we have had a greater break than our opponent.

He used the example of Geelong - 8 x 6-day breaks (equal most in the comp), but they are playing 10 games where they have had a longer break than their opponent.

We can't complain too much about the 6-day break thing, especially when we want our QBD Monday game, and we now have our Anzac Eve game.

Only 4 away games interstate.

4 Games at Etihad to give us more chance of learning how to play there.

A home game against a "power" club in Carlton.

A bye after an NT game.

A Friday night game.

Only play Adelaide and North, from the 2016 top 8, twice, all other finalists from this year just once.

I think it is a very positive draw.

4 Etihad games in the first 13 rounds. In the same period we play at the MCG 6 times.

Glad we play Geelong in Melbourne.

Essendon away at Etihad. How about a game against them for once?

2x games vs Carlton at the MCG is great.

4x interstate away games, two of which are in Canberra and Tassie (vs North).

 

Overall, solid fixture.

North is a positive...

I think they will finish bottom 4 this year.

First three rounds look challenging. All three are bogey sides and 2/3 on a bogey ground. We must start the season strongly (at absolute worst 1-2) as there's history says no coming back from 0-3.

The first 6 weeks will define our season.  We should be 5 and 1.  Don't mind the draw the only real tuff patch is the Bulldogs, Eagles and Sydney mid year

Quality fixture for us, an especially good first half, (before the bye). And then the last three games at the G all against sides that we should beat.

All-in-all, a serious opportunity for us to make finals. Positives everywhere in this.

Can't wait.

This is a dream draw for us.

We only play Swans, Bulldogs, Cats, West coast and Hawthorn once.

This could be the year we make finals.

Can't complain too much but one Friday night game for us when Sydney and the Bulldogs share 2/3 of every Friday night for the entire season? Taking the [censored] now, aren't they?

Even if they made the Grand Final, surely sharing around Friday nights a little more evenly would be the preferred outcome. Have they not learned how boring the surplus of Carlton, Richmond, Collingwood and Hawthorn games became in recent years!?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
