I really dont think StKilda will win today.....their fairytale will end in 20mins. They are WCs bunnies.

Jack Billings thinks otherwise. Was it better for us if St Kilda won? I can't bring myself to look at the ladder.

Saints have everything to play for next week. We just want the season to finish. Will get messy next week. They showed heart today. We have none

Because right now, Saints with everything to play for trumps our everything to play for.

How often in important games do we come out on top? Hope to break the trend but recent history suggests....  ?

Good resuly! Happy for the winner of next week to have a strong chance of making the 8. Maybe thats me having a stk family member showing. But its far better that 1 of these clubs gets a shot above boring wce, ess and dogs.

Its round 1 all over again. Beating st k wasnt the end of our rivalry. Stk deserve a rematch against us and we deserve to show r1 wasnt a fluke. Any fan of great footy sees better potential for a great elimination final football game now, with the saints in contention.

Just doing the ladder predictor again... If we win all 3, then it comes down to 1 game...

Ess vs Crows - Essendon has to lose.

The alternative, Melbourne has to thump the Lions by 10 goals.

Happy with St kilda winning, if we can't beat them next week we don't deserve finals and we have just as much incentive to win as they do.

I didnt see the Saints game, but I saw in the match report Steven was injured and Dunstan was reported... will they both be outs next week? 

 

If we don't turn up next week all hell will break loose... and our club will lose so much credibility.

Steven dominated in the last qtr with like 11 or 12 disposals. He's fine, unfortunately.

We'll need someone to thump Eric Hipwood to do that. Our last regular season Tall KPF Giraffe to have to deal with.

This is the lay of the land for spots 7 and 8:

image.png.ee1accb68ac6439d303827fb6c757303.png

  • WBD - have the toughest run home and could drop all 3 and have the worst %.  But they are in top form.
  • Ess - should win at least 2.
  • WCE - have 2 games vs top 2 teams
  • MFC - theoretically, we are best placed to win all three games. 
  • StK - will fancy themselves to win at least 2.

For our 3 games all 3 teams will fancy themselves.  Even Lions are saying they are ready to take a 'big scalp'.  Given they play GCS, Dees and NM, we are the 'big scalp' they are setting themselves for.

I can't pick who will win what but:

  • the only time in years we have won 3 in a row was after the 2017 bye - a 13 day break.  In fact we haven't won 2 in a row since that bye.
  • our team is as a flat as a tack and many players are out of form
  • our game plan is not working and coaches also seem out of form
  • we don't seem to have the hunger.

While we should win all 3, sadly there is little to suggest we will.

Richmond will go to 3rd if they hold on here.

The Cats are a real chance of falling out of the top 4 over the next few weeks.  Wouldn't that be great?  Out in the first week of finals after thinking they were premiers all season.

Adding to that, Joel Selwood is out for the rest of the home and away season.

They play Richmond, GWS and Collingwood.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
