When was the last time we won 11 games?

 

Well it sure wasn't years 2012-2014 when we won a total of 12 games (2012=4,2013=2, 2014=4)!

11 wins is our best season for games won since 2006. Here's an extract from the relevant 'afltables.com' page.

Knocking off the Saints gave us 11 wins for the season the most since 2006 when we chalked up 13.  Quite a milestone and we are not finished yet.

Pedersen's contribution yesterday makes you wonder how many extra wins would we have had if he had been selected earlier in the season?

Geelong? (Leading 3/4 time)

Fremantle? (2 points)

Hawthorn? (3 points)

Richmond? (13 points)

Interesting that if we do win our last two games then we will only be 1 win off what we achieved in 2000 when we made the granny. 

Plenty of water to run under the bridge this year though, keep it rolling Dees!

I'd like to think at least 1 maybe 2 especially the Haw and Freo games during that time Hoges and Lewis got themselves rubbed out but we have got to remember all that has gone on this year suspensions, illnesses, funerals, deaths, injuries etc i think as a football club we have coped exceptionally well let's not forget all of this.

Yeah for sure. We were without key personnel for a very long time and really how many times this year have we played with a full strength forward line? Its caused a lot of imbalance and I think  we've handed in overall very well.

The trajectory is good and the future bodes well.

We're still a few important jigsaw pieces away. 

At the end of next season when Hogan, Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Salem and Hunt have played 50-60 games I reckon we'll start to see some big inroads.

It was Viney's third year that was his breakout and if not for his plantar fascia issue earlier in the year he would have been a much bigger contributor. Same can be said for a host of players who have had significant injuries. Gawn, Jones and Hoges obviously.

But as I said. The 50-100 game mark is where we'll start seeing some serious improvement from our young guns.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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

    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.
