Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt. I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I

Pedersen's fourth quarter was insane, btw.

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

This is (arguably) the most joyous thread I've read on Demonland.  Loving every post!

Two big things I've noticed in the last few weeks:

- our players aren't all going for the ball at once so there is (nearly) always someone running past to receive.  I was amazed at how much space we found last night, especially in the last quarter, when the ball seemed locked up and heading for a ball up.  Caught eagles flat footed!

- we don't seem to use the 'zone' defence quite so much.  There is a lot more one-one-one.  Also a player or two is staying back so there haven't been many 'out the back' goals.  It seems we are getting better at knowing when to zone and when not to zone.  I suspect Lewis has a lot to do with ensuring this happens.

These show how we have refined the execution of our game plan from last year and earlier this year as our players mature and gain experience.  And there is more maturing to happen.  Exciting times.

What a ripping win!  4 in a row woohoo.  That game was  exciting all the way through - we are a 4 quarter team now.
 

I am worried about who will get up for next week,  with a few niggles and injuries.

I loved the end the most - when all the players had a look of pure delight on their faces, another monkey off the back - they believe in the team and that's why we are winning - team first!!

Oh and its awesome having Maxy back out there

So just to clarify....

Dimma is coach of the year so far. Collingwood have the best midfield, and the Swans are currently the inform team of the comp?

Who is Mark Robinson.

Just a newscorp [censored]

To the person who suggested to trade T.Mac, what were you thinking of? Someone mentioned where can we get another Mac from,since both Macs were pick No.43 perhaps that was the telling factor. Just another theory. Absolute brilliant win.Go the Dees.

Win off a six-day break. Win a tough interstate road-trip. Win with some key players out. Win against the umps and a vociferous home-crowd. All that stuff. But one thing not mentioned so much - win at Domain, and on its dimensions. We weren't able to play our usual game - and it was telling. Yet we still found a way to win. Anyone, anywhere.

When Hannan goes to the contest, either something good happens for us or something bad happens for the opposition. To my way of thinking, this guy is the pick up of the year....... for any team.

For the punters out there, I took Melbourne into Melbourne Storm for the double. It was 41/1.

Some notice next time pls WW!  Wd mate.  Yes I saw him for first time a few years back with son in tow as a budding guitarist.  He didn't know what hit him.  Actually I didn't know what hit me as I hadn't realised how much NY was into grunge & heavy vs his ballads.  Think he might have sung one ballad or two max on the night lol.

Pineapple after witnessing his first game I saw him as a bit like a smaller version of Fyfe.  Looking good so far and getting better by the month!  That snap off his left in heavy traffic was typical of his goal sense, real natural footy instincts and quick reflexes. A real natural that you don't see much of anymore.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
