What was our half time score in 186?

If Richmond pull their fingers out one of our shameful records could be lost.

OMG the Friday scheduling has hit rock bottom, thanks Gil.

There was a time that I hardly missed a Friday night game on TV: this year hardly ever.

Tonight watched a bit of the second quarter then totally lost interest.

What a farce.

just watching the 3rd quarter and billings has taken a mark & then mucked up the gimme set shot.. bruce says 'quiet first half from jack', or something to that effect. more like, 'quiet first half of your career jack'. so stoked we didn't take him.

also, i gotta say, trent cotchin is such a great player these days. so physical and tough in the contest. if there's a loose ball to be won, he generally wins it. such an improvement from the level he played at for years when richmond just couldn't get above 9th. impressive.

Show me a Richmond player that isn't.

I remember walking away from our round 13 game last year when we beat the reigning premier by nearly 10 goals. Our players were 'manic' in their endeavour. I couldn't comprehend why they weren't able to bring the same desire week in, week out.

Dimma has got his team doing just that.

true.. but, if the ball was on the ground and there were a handful of tigers jumpers around, cotchin is getting that ball. almost plays like viney when he is playing at his optimum. just brutal.


re: the 2016 against the bulldogs. i think there was blood in the water at that stage wasn't there? i dare say our young kids knew and attempted to beat them up, having been beaten to a pulp many times by them over the years.. but yes, it's frustrating. i think we can it these days much better over a game, but just not PEAK PRESSURE. not sure why. maybe today? ?

We lost two in form players in Nathan Jones and Jack Watts for several weeks from injuries incurred during that game and lost more in the ensuing weeks. This was also during that period when we had 4 successive 6-day breaks and we eventually just ran out of steam. 

This time around, there are no excuses.

I remember landing there about 5 years ago and thaught the plane was going to skid off the runway. It was scary. Mid arvo with no wind.

What a dilemna. I hate the filth so much. I hate Norf too, but not as much.

It's probably preferable that Collingwood win to increase our chances of making the 8. But hoping the filth win? Probably a bridge too far !!

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
