1994 , last time they met in a preliminary Final.

Lyon,. Schwarz, Stynes, Viney,  Lovett,  Tingay, Wight, Charles, Pike, Viney  ... the flag was there for the taking but we ran into a brick wall in Perth.

Thankfully the current Eagles are not a patch on the 1994 version.

Th Eagles of 2018 are not a great side McGovern cutting off everything bombed forward is the biggest threat, Shuey can play but Harmes can hold him Kennedy will never have played on a guy with the speed of Frost, the Demons can win this game.

Lewis starts the mind games with WCE:  "Wily Melbourne veteran Jordan Lewis has thrown a barb at the West Coast camp ahead of the preliminary final by suggesting the Eagles are “more predictable’’ with key forwards Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling in the team".

Eagles by 10 goals.

Melbourne by 18

Lewis is right. There's is a Hawthorn style game. Deny them the control with constant pressure and just like Hawthorn they'll fall away. Our game has to be at its Zenith but we will beat them. Beat them last time... we'll beat them this time. 

McGovern will find his day a hard long slog. Darling is a worry...but maybe we're just more of a worry now than we were a few weeks back. 

We've seen the best of the Weagles I think. Still to see the best of us.

26 degrees forecast for Perth next Saturday... the weather recently has been a far more pleasant 22.

Melbourne a nice 20 degree day so very nice to sip on a long drink while watching the saga unfold.

Was there that day. A period in time before they learnt to Boooooooooooo. They treated visiting Melbourne supporters really well then. Were happy to talk as they wanted to know what the "East Coast" was like.  Well it was a long time ago.

Was anyone else at Junction Oval in '94?

Faulty projector initially, Maria Carey's 'There's a Hero' montage that had me balling eyeballs out - then the game itself........

Different story this time ?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
