God damn that feels good, even if it is only pre season. I have 6 hours to pack trailer and do a dump run and blower vac ground yard. Ample time as long as the beer fridge stays closed until at least lunch time (which is no guarantee)

Due to a promotion I have most weekend off now so it's gonna be on.

Go Dee's!

We have to break this psychological stranglehold this low rent team have over us. We did it in style against the Saints at Etihad last year. Now's the time to do the same to the kangas. Let's dine on fillet of skippy.

Hammering down at my place just across the Derwent from Kingston. Expected to clear around lunchtime. Looking forward to knocking back a few tins on the hill and hopefully a photo with Maxy after the game.

Can confirm it is pizzing down in Hobart city at the moment, and from all reports once the rain clears the wind will start up. Bloody typical, it’s hardly rained all summer and aside from last week the weather has been sensational, and every time melbourne come down it’s terrible.

Anyway I’ll be in the can bar drinking $12 mid strength beers. Go dees!

Kudos to all the Melbourne supporters attending another Hobart game against North,  even after the last 2 heart breakers against them.

That first one when we lost by a kick and Lindsay &@&$ Thomas of all people made the spoil that stopped us having a shot after the siren. That was torture.

At long last something approaching real footy is only a few hours away, and I can't wait  to see if all the positive track reports stand up to scrutiny under match conditions with real opposition.  Go Dees!

You should add Maxy to your “favourite players” before you ask him for a photo!

All of a sudden the JLT games are looking a lot more appealing after the AFLX shenanigans last week. Even moreso now they have ditched the supergoal. Actually feels like proper footy.

Have a good-ee, Josh. Wish I was in the vicinity for a few dozen, pre-game Tassy oysters on the dock, a bowl of chowder and pub crawl to the ground, with the good wishes of James Boag. Ah, the Tasmanian air! Carna Dees.

Too right! Supergoals are a killer and mess with the game.

It would be good to win, but a win in the JLT Cup won't break the hoodoo.

Demons beat Norf last time they played in the pre-season cup, then SNAFU. Lost to Norf in the season proper. I hate Norf. And their coach ... and all their players other than Ben Brown.

Beating Nought in a practise game counts for nothing over the last 12 years

Beating anyone in the pre season series has always counted for nothing, Mr. Brightside. 

I'm just looking forward to some proper footy being played, seeing us jag a few goals and heading back to the mainland without any injuries.

Enjoy the day Hobart Demons.

When do they announce tonight's Team ? 

The squad will be cut to either 24 or 26 (have we worked that out yet?) 90 minutes before game time.

    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.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
