I reckon Port will be a discombobulated rabble this coming season, I envisage a 15 goal win in round 1. #Bookmarkit.

    On a confidence scale is that behind #Takeittothebank ?

    Oh dear this is the kind of "getting ahead of ourselves" mentality that has brought this club to its knees over and over again

    Rest assured they will,  like every other team come out firing and will be desperate to get a win in round 1 - it will not be easy  #bookmarkit 

    They have some quality players - if we are not 100% focused and committed a loss is definitely on the cards

    I fail to see how my post influences the performance of the team.

    My point was if the team shares your overconfidence they are very likely going to get belted - simple really 

    I certainly hope they don't because it would be completely ill founded at this stage

    My God underselling your powers, I am shocked

    This is Demonland, there are posters on here who know so much more than the coaches we have, the coaches make sure they read Demonland to ensure they don't let their inadequacies fail the team

    There are always surprise results in rounds 1 & 2.

    I hope the boys just go out and play good hard footy & if they get the chance to put their foot on Port's throat that they do it BIG time!

    There's nothing better than gathering momentum early!


    We will win this by 100 without breaking a sweat.

    Already looking to Round 2.

    I am surprised that the coaches and selection committees have not yet asked my opinion.  Or opinions they change regularly! 

    Perhaps I should call them to make sure they have my phone number.....

     

    not sure.            Go Dees

    If my memory isn't completely stuffed I believe I envisaged a similar result against the same opponent in the first round some seasons back. Virtually the opposite thing happened. Let's not hatchet our Counts before they turn chicken.

    Trac to kick 6 and we'll win by 8 goals. 

     

     

    Any word on Charlie Dixon’s recovery from a broken leg?

    Wines, Polec, Wingard and maybe Dixon would be handy outs from the side that beat us last year.

    Mind you they’ll include Hartlett and Lycett into the side.

    Round 1 had a pattern of delivering some of the most miserable moments during our most miserable period, so I'm still a little wary of it.

    But... on the one hand I'm much more confident in our team's ability, and on the other hand I'm much more confident that our team has the resilience to carry on with a strong season even if we do stuff up round 1.

    It is a bit like, I'm looking forward to round one as a big deal, but only because it is the start of the season, not because I feel like it is any particularly crucial, tone-setting game.

    Ninety to hundred would pay about 33/1 i reckon. Well worth a half pi33ed bet with the mates.

    Watts after an at times distracting and turbulent off season will be coming in really hot, frothing one might say, eyes rolling back in his head looking to rack up and power Port into a 10 goal drubbing.

    @MurDoc516

    I will buy you a crayfish lunch (or any lunch of your choice and any amount of drinks of your choice) if Petracca kicks 6 goals in a game in his entire career...you can make me accountable anytime if it happens (I presume I'll be celebrating as I will be stoked for the boy)....

    Edited by Engorged Onion

    First hit out for the season.. both teams would need to iron out some wrinkles, and get used to a new set of rules if anything - I hope I can get down for Rd 1! But, Port do have a team of champions right?

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
