Our captain will be breathing fire today!!

No one on our list deserves it more than Nathan Jones. 

No longer nervous,  just excited to see this  great man lead his men out there today.

There's a sense of history about today - much like it was with the final round of 1987 when many of us travelled to Footscray and watched Melbourne's famous victory. Back then, we depended on Hawthorn

I was there that day as 9 yo Jack.  Still one of my favorite footy memories and pretty hard to beat from that perspective.   What great day of drama. Standing up the back of the hill, up aga

Working all day today unfortunately. Can't even call in sick as the better half would then demand my presence at an afternoon bbq. It seems I'm stuck with occasional score updates on the app and if we have a loss I'll be doing the same tomorrow with the Adelaide game :-(

Just get it done today boys so I can watch the replay at 2am a happy man.

absolutely packing it...

pretty confident, as per demon77, that jones will NOT allow us to lose today

Thats an interesting aspect. He needs to bring the effort/effect of that suns second half, but from the outset. We have shown we CAN be mercenary and we need to be today ( good practice ) 

Just put these filthy interlopers to the sword early...and then bury the bastards !!!!

I want to see watts breathing fire. After all he's copped and the team has copped. Beating the pies the team who attacked him to lock up finals

if jack can't find motivation to rip a game apart today, he never will

I'm quietly confident. They are missing 7-8 of their best side.

Meanwhile we are basically full strength with Viney not getting up.

I think we'll come out like we did against Port & StKilda!

Nervous about Collingwood's pace among their small forwards. Clearly they brought in Kirby to try and expose Jetta, Salem aND Oscar's lack of pace. Rather than going with another tall in Reid. Hope we can keep the ball in the air and deny them midfield possessions

Don't worry about who they are missing Mud as it always seems that have the opposite affect on us. 

Its all between the ears. 

Lets hope they r switched on from the opening bounce and just keep going for 4 qrts.

Dont know why so many of you are worried. We are playing half a team whose season is already over. Dead-man-walking Coach etc etc

Have not felt this confident since the last time we played North.

But seriously your first sentence summed it up pretty well. We will win, Jack will kick 2 goals and Tyson BOG.

Had a weird dream about the game last night. So nervous with so much at stake. Remember the 1987 game at the Western Oval. Such a fine sunny day it was.

I was at the Western Oval Match in 1987. Today doesn't have the same feel.

1987 was at a suburban  oval which Demons  had to win after a long run .of wins. And was dependent on Hawthorn beating Geelong.

If Demons lose today, they will in all likelihood still make the finals.

The last few weeks i have written we will see how much the boys want to play finals. Well today will definitely will tell us. 

21 players when running out today just need to look at the person they will be running behind today wearing the number 2 jumper. I know Jonsey has played finals for us but if anyone deserves to be there its him. He has stayed loyal to us and has led this club well. 

also it would be great for someone like watts to reap the rewards and for Jesse to at least have something go right for us this year. 

Collingwood will want to wreck it for us but I hope at the 25 minute mark at the final term we have an enjoyable lead and can sit back and smile we are playing finals footy.

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
