Gee Josh, everything read well until you mentioned the “green death” and beer in the same sentence!  If you’re looking for a decent beer after the game try Penny Blue off Little Bourke Street.  You will be spoilt for choice mate.

Enjoy the game and Nate’s 250th.

Nahhhh, hit the Mitre Tavern in Mitre Place, off the western end of Collins Street. Best beers, reasonable prices, phabulous atmosphere and almost privately quiet for the lengthy think about football, meat pies and Holden cars.

It’s my sons 1st birthday which I organized the party for 1:30 start, I never checked the fixture I just assumed we were playing tomorrow, so I will have to catch replay later 

That’s just BAD parenting. Don’t worry U won’t make the same mistake twice. 

Priorities Brendan priorities!

Last year I remember we were paying 1.02 to make the 8 leading into round 23 

still scarred by that , will bank it when its mathematically certain 

a win today would be nice 

Yep, $11 to miss the 8 prior to the Collingwood match last year.  Let's just keep winning and discuss when betting on us is suspended ?

We are still 7.50 for the flag this morning, but i think we will soon leapfrog Sydney into 3rd spot at 6.00 by next week if we win well today.

Just woke up in Exmouth WA, on holiday with the Fam. If you ever get the chance to dive with whale sharks DO IT!!! We (wife and two girls 4 and 2yo) went out the other day and we had an epic day. 3 islands were our tour group and they were exeptional. My girls eyes nearly popped out of their heads when they saw their first whale shark up close ( 3m away), a memory I will never forget.

Wife follows Bulldogs, so me and the kids are going to be ganging up on her and trying to get the boys over the line. Looking forward to the boys playing arressive, skillfull footy such as we have been treated to over the past few weeks.

Go Demons!

PS Thanks for everything you have done for the club Nathan, hope you have a ripping day and the boys do you and all of us proud???

This week to me is the test to see whether with the media circus our young team start drinking their own bath water. It’s the week to show leadership and not showboat but continue our ruthless edge. It’s the week where teams start to set themselves for us and we become the hunted. Let’s see how we handle the shift. The dogs as have been mentioned still have match winners and 10+ Quality players but it’s hard even if they win the general battle seeing them out scoring us. Best of luck to Jonesy. Had a 250 one club player ever been more deserving.

I reflect on the past when the boot was on the other foot and we were down and out and playing a side that was in form and on top of their game. We rarely won and often barely raised a whimper after a quarter or so. 

The Dogs are in that space right now. We will win and do it well.

I remember when Jones first started he'd butcher the ball and lack awareness. funny how things have changed.

Just spoke to someone in our ruckmans inner sanctum. Max did not pull up too well after Wednesday’s training. Bad headache, bit of photophobia ( probably courtesy of that hit to the head in the second quarter) but appears to have slept it  all off and now feels a million dollars. He is convinced they will win well today. Losing has not crossed his mind.

World. Hell. Handbasket.

I love doing dad things

for the Carlton game my son insisted on bouncing on the tramp so I had game streaming on Foxtel app on iPad outside tramp and just a kept checking

The talent level between the two teams is huge and the Dogs can not kick goals. Their only chance is to make it a 4 quarter scrap and bring intense pressure, and for us to have a down game and perhaps have some fatigue from Darwin while they had an extra 2 days break.

Demons by 29.

I will not be going today due to the venue. If I wanted to be enclosed by steel and concrete then I would get a job in a factory.

Besides that, congratulations Nathan Jones, go Dees!

Not like Max to be scared of having his photo taken. Glad he’s pulled up ok, thanks for the update Jane. 

For once, losing has not crossed my mind either!

Dad stuff here too, timekeeping at a swimming meet. Honestly never considered how having kids might impact my general footy fanaticism. Oh well, might bang the live stream on during breaks (and the 1500) and enjoy the full replay later.

Heading along today and very happy to be there to support Jonesy in his 250th - he deserves a lot of thanks for sticking with the club and helping turn everything around over the last few years.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    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.
