It was pretty awesome watching Lewis kick a goal after the siren after being booed all game following the round 2 fiasco. Blues supporters were burning.

We'll win by 80+ imo.

Only thing that would please me more than another win by the same margin again would be proving their medicos to be the liars that they are.

Looking at our team above we really did have a makeshift midfield against them that day. Some big names missing.

Hey @Demonland - recently your centre-line has been represented by an amused emoticon for some reason. At first I thought it was me, but I think now it's you.

It's actually the forum software that changes the C and the : into an amusing ?

Looking like an almost perfect day for Footy next Sunday

16 degrees maximum with light winds and 0.4mm of rain (30-40% chance).

Strangely similar to that day against the Hawks recently....... (oh Hell !)

Great point.  We had only 1 A grader in the midfield in Oliver.  They had Cripps, Murphy, Gibbs, Curnow,...

Different story this week.

Oliver, Jones, Viney, Tyson, Harmes (building into this role), Gawn (back to best c.f. last year),

Salem also missed that day. I found that game one of the most nerve-racking last season for some reason. 

That was the “ What a ball from Neville Jetta” game.

I am worried about this week. We should win but it will be tight.

Hope Oliver plays H2H on Cripps.

I remember thinking despite Carlton being an average side it was one of our best wins of the year because we were absolutely smashed with injury for that match

Too right! Cripps needs a lesson in execution.

My favourite moment from last year.  Carlton had players out everywhere.  If we lost that contest we lost the game.  Just the speed he gets back to his feet and sprints to the right spot.  I could watch it all day.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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
