Great win.

One negative is that if Smith is unavailable, backline choices becoming seriously problematic. Add him to Hibberd, Garland, White, Wagner and Frost. The cupboard looking very bare.

True, although we coped okay today and you would imagine that Vince, Lewis and Salem will spend a little more time down there to cover it.

Pleased but not going overboard. I remember Tommy McDonald's 'I can't wait till we finally win two in a row' line (though that was a paraphrase). Then we lose to the Bombers in the biggest howler of the year.

The thing that stood out for me was the experience and leadership. I made a quote about St. Kilda rattling our cages and me stating that they knew we were paper tigers. In years gone by, a run like that would have gotten our tails between our legs and a pantsing would have been on the cards.

Thankfully, Jordie, Bernie and Nate (who confirmed that he is the senior partner in the Jones/Viney co-captaincy) stopped everyone. They changed tact and we got our mojo back. Being faced with a Melbourne team who would not lie down rattled THEM and they proceeded to fall to pieces.

What an amazing game! Clarry will be a superstar into the future, Lewis is the perfect recruit, feeling for Joely Smith, Hannan was fantastic on bebut, T Mac going to overtake Rance as he best defender, so many players did so well, God damn I love this club!!!!!

When Riewoldt went down with the knee (touch wood it isn't too bad), was anyone else reminded of back in 2005 when we crushed Richmond and Nathan Brown snapped his leg?

This game could have as much impact on St Kilda as that had on Richmond.

 

Meanwhile... how eerie was it. The goal after goal just keeping on coming. The commentators having to pick up the speed when Melbourne had the ball.

This is also easily our best first round result since, coincidentally with that Richmond game, 2005.

Some seriously good coaching.

I thought we were done 1st qtr, and loved how all the players started running left nothing behind but put a score on the board. Then in the 4th you could tell everyone was cooked but we had it in the bag by then. So sorry for Nick and also Joel Smith he was really showing something straight out of the box.

Well well well. I would not have picked that listening to the game at quarter time. Take a bow Simon Goodwin, you didn't panic and you managed to lift the team and get them playing OUR style of football. We completely controlled the game after quarter time save for some 5 minute patches and the final part to the last quarter. Really could have won by more but I ain't complaining!

Jones, Vince, and Lewis showed sensational leadership. When the ship needed steadying they stepped up.

Clayton Oliver is a gun! I don't think I need to say more.

Gawn came back at Hickey big time, revenge is sweet.

Hannan, honestly I knew NOTHING about him but he played very well for his first game and kicked two important goals.

I could go through the whole list but I'll just finish by saying the team worked together today. We worked to the areas where the ball carrier knew to look and we executed (for the most part) very well. Oscar McDonald is the only one that concerned me today, he's young and will hopefully improve but if he can't get his disposal and decision making in check than he will need a spell at Casey. 

But I've had the belief that if the year we got over this road block in St Kilda and the "hoodoo" was the year that we will have finally turned the corner. I barely count the GWS win at Etihad a few years ago, this was a real win at Etihad against a team that's had the wood over us for a long time. 

Go Dees!

Nick has been our nemesis for who knows how many years. Players go out of the game and its whatever luck. Weve certainly had or share of it.

Good speed to your new post footy life mr R  otherwise...well.   Thats footy 

More concerned about Smith than Reiwoldt 

but then..Im a Demon

Well said, DD.  Goodwin showed that he can react to situations like this and he got the boys to stick to their guns and tighten up all over the ground.  It paid dividends.

Oh no doubt. It's an important step. It now needs to be followed up (me being Captain Obvious).

I think one of the more impressive things was that there is no overreaction from the players.

If that win happened three years ago, the players would be jumping around like a pack of googy eggs. As though they had won Tattslotto on their wedding day.

While they were clearly happy, there were handshakes, balls kicked into the crowd and off to sing the song.

I also think that we didn't feel like we 'fluked' it is a big step to overcome. We were the better team. Our players are now top 8 calibre and we deserved the result.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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
