Pretty sure once we won 5 games and our percentage was north of 70, the dark days were over....

Agreed, the 'dark days' were over once we had two season each with better win tallies than we previous would've managed in three seasons combined.

Now we're looking to make the good times roll in. The really, really good times.

The league is perfectly positioned for a team with stars on every line to take it by the scruff of the neck and dominate for an extended period. One with the quality of Brisbane in the early 2000s or Hawthorn and Geelong more recently. It’s a vacancy waiting and pleading to be filled.

When you have the depth that runs deep and injury free the results  come with it. Over my time I would look to our top 10 players and match them against the other clubs without being biased and IMO i struggled to find between 5 to 7. However l now believe we have at least 15 without hesitation. Hopefully the bad times have left us.

Equally the competition is very capable of chewing up and spitting out the masticated remains of sides that think they are close to greatness, but don't quite have what it takes.  Just ask the Saints, Giants, Bombers, Bulldogs, Pies, Blues and Dockers teams of the past decade.  No mercy Demons, it's a brutal comp and our beloved team will need everything going our way for once to claim the ultimate prize.

...but surely after over half a century of trial and tribulations, the footy gods can be on our side for once?

I'm curious as to whether they approached anyone from the club for comment. That they got quotes from Beamer and Ox and ran with it as a 'story' is a bit odd.

Maybe they approached the club and got shot down. If that is so, I'm happy in a strange way. It shows those within are not inclined to pump their own tyres up and get ahead of themselves.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. 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. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    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
