It's the media talking the club up not the the club themselves, the media are the best in drooling over players and clubs like lovesick schoolgirls.

Not right!

Wasn’t it Peter Jackson that said about our rebuild that he expected us to be playing finals in 2016?  Hmmmm.

That's rather ironic considering you post on and read Demonland

Maybe if the players stopped doing the same stupid stuff when it counts against good opposition then the comments may change. 

As big Carl posted “the definition of insanity”.......

Against the weaker sides we get a lot of goals from inside 15m. We are number 1 for that stat. 

Against the strong sides I suspect our shots at goal are from much further out because they don't let us get out the back.... I don't have the evidence to back that up but I think it probably holds true...

 

I think I agree, again without stats to back it up. It also partly explains why Jeffy goes missing against the better sides.

I don't know, a couple of posters seem to think he said that but I can't recall it. I went to the presidents lunch when we played St kilda at etihad as home game in 2016 and I was standing next to Peter Jackson and someone from AHG whilst some speeches were being made and I recall one of the speakers mentioned about making finals that year and he scoffed at the suggestion and made a comment along the lines l of a long way to go yet to the bloke from AHG.And yes the media do carry on like lovesick schoolgirls over certain players and clubs.

Can't wait to see what cruelty they have in store for us next year! Maybe we could pull a North, win our first 12 matches then blow every match thereafter?

Not like we haven't done it before.
Made it a speciality during the "up" years under Daniher.

Hutchy isn't. The rest of the panel were still confident and talking us up. For them it's disappointing. Hutchy is simply stating he won't fall for the hype until we do something relevant.

Hutchy is full of sheet.
Was all over us last year.
Was continually telling them he was "Bullish" about the Demons when arguing with Lloyd.

Like continually bombing the ball inside 50 with our eyes shut like morons.

stats show we can get the ball into our scoring zone against good and bad sides, kicking straight is the issue. if we can solve that, i.e. get the guys to take more care then we can potentially beat any side.Two or three years ago we were playing roo's defensive game if someone had said we would be 2nd highest scoring team for the year, playing attractive football i would not have believed them. We turned a lot of things around and we are very much still work in progress. All or even a little going well for us we play finals this year. We have the potential to win one or two finals. I hope like hell we do so that it gives the players a taste and a hunger for next year when we will really be making our charge with hopefully everyone fit.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    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
