I know this won't happen, but if Freo beat Collingwood in Perth, we will finish 4th with a victory.

Stranger things have happened.   At least its in Perth, and maybe the Dockers will want to avenge their woeful performance vs the Cats.

Wouldn't that truly be a thing of beauty?  Leapfrog over the enemy...!!  We can dream!

1500 fine to AVB for contact with Riolli.....Phew..

They didn't even look at the Crisp 'incident' nor should they. 

Probably because a heap of commentators called it out as: bizarre, ridiculous, worst free kick of the season, umpire clanger.

They deserve all the karma they get, the stories I've heard of how Tex treated Jake all of last season is disgusting, then the after season dogging by Tex and others of Jake. Then the camp fiasco and Tex has had a stinker of a year. Got what they deserved I'm afraid.

Eggzactly LH. I like the last comment there.... "the only one who didnt have his eyes where they should have been, was the umpire."

There are some very funny comments in the Eagles supporters forums.

- Melbourne are much dirtier than I thought

- the umpires were cheating blatantly. Holding the ball doesnt exist for them. The amount of whining was unreal.

- AVB should have been reported for his hit on Cripps as it could have broken his neck

Read the same and have not stopped laughing all day. The umps were generous to both teams regarding HTB for the whole match but geez they had the umps on their side after quarter time 2 to 1. I recall years ago they had 26-1 at half time and now they expect it ALL the time. Nuff nuff's.

Is just like when 6 speed gear boxes became a thing...

Just a great feeling to see the win in Perth and to look forward to a crack at the finals.

What makes it even more noteworthy is that we got the win without our best key forward, our best key defender and one of our most critical midfielders. Of those three only Viney looks a chance to return for the first week of finals.

The way we played on Sunday in the absence of these three players and with other depth players also out injured shows me that we have the  critical depth to take on a challenge any team in the finals.

Go Dees!

So now we can play without looking over our shoulder all the time. No weight of expectation.

Will be very interesting to see how we tackle GWS without being mentally haunted. The floodgates may be opening.

There are some teams there and abouts that we owe something to. Geelong. Collingwood. Sydney. Hawks. The guys will look forward to meeting any of them.

GO DEMONS

We are swirling wine in a glass

The alchemist sits upon a broad shoulder

Peering into the abyss

On the cliffs edge sits a giant boulder

Nothingness into nothingness descends

Destruction is a citadel at an undetermined end

Searching for resolution 

Steps seeking footprints

Vapour becoming stone

I love them saying we were dirty, I felt like we’d lost that mongrel we had last year. Yesterday we definitely had it back.

Been waiting a long, long time for opposition supporters to say that about us, and boy does it feel good.

Think you may have had too much of that swirling wine?

    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.
