Well it was nice to sit on the train not full of severe depression. 

You can say that again, and after so many beatings we have beaten the Hawks again. May the sequence of 2 continue.

harmes was cr@p. I'm sorry but giving away 2 50m penalties is 2 goals we dont get back. it doesn't make up for how good he was other than that.

and melksham? wtf was he thinking? I'm so sick of full time afl players having no clue what to do in in clutch situations Blind freddy could see that he either had to find a short target or kick it to the goal line. almost cost us the game. I hope a coach gives him a slap on the chops for that stupidity.

Yes he did give two away but it's a [censored] confusing rule and the second on was marginal at best.

However, other than that, he was our best. Without his positive contributions we lose.

O’Meara was running amok until Harmes went onto him and shut him down (7 touches after 1/4 time) while dominating the game himself. Very odd comment.

Harmes plays best in a tagging role. Why we ever stopped giving him those run with roles I don’t know. First real assignment of the year and he has his best game of the year. Coincidence? I think not.

With 2 mins to go.... WHY WAS OLIVER ON THE BENCH TILL THE SIREN???

He was trying to come on. We are so disorganized with our rotations. Truly we are lost without runners.

Clarkson is showing signs of being a sore lose.  Blunt Clarkson

About the Dees: 

"They'll be dancing from the rooftops tonight – but they didn't play outstanding footy, either, today.

"A really good side would have really hurt Melbourne with some of the opportunities we had today – and that's the disappointing part," he said.

"We couldn't sit there and say, 'Melbourne's pressure was just enormous and that's what stopped us from dropping marks and missing kicks and that sort of stuff'.

All that may be true but poor form from Clarkson.

A few reflections 

18.51 minutes of "highlights" overstates the quality of the game

To the bloke who eventually punches  James Sicily's [censored] lights out - I will buy you a beer

Marty Hore's tackle late was GOLD

Frosty's pirourette and outside if the boot pass GOLD

Frost and Hore spoils to save the game PLATINUM

Wish we'd converted a few more of those easy set shots!!

An ugly win, but we banked the 4 points, and to make it sweeter, it was against a team that has had the wood on us for most of the last decade.  In the end, our guts and detetmination, combined with a positive mind-set, overcame (frequently) deplorable ball skills and decision making.  Very happy to take it and move on.

Not going to be too harsh on the umps. Frost threw it in the last seconds. If they were paying attention we lose. Oh well. Sucks to be Scullthorn

Rubbish comment on Harmes. Tagging jobs like his today, where he not only shuts the oppositions best player out of the game but is damaging himself, are almost worth 2x players on the park.

Rama on ABC clearly thought harmes’ 50 was rubbish 

It's a dumb rule, absolute rubbish rule.

But technically both were correct.

Listening to 3AW on the way home, they commented the second 50 by Harmes was unlucky because OMac on the mark moved to his right a fair bit albeit fairly which made Harmes look like he was encroaching. Is that what happened?

Watched replay again, not really

Omac shuffled a few metres across but Harmes was running straight through, just needed to run slightly diagonally  away and would've been fine and made it clearer he was avoiding the space

In both cases he didn't seem to be paying any attention to the rule. One is forgivable, but the second is just brain dead stuff - I won'tgo so far as to call his game cr@p... but 2 x 50s for the same thing is a problem

He also happened to kick the winning goal !!

But gee that will get the confidence back up I hope. I thought Goody giving them 4 days off was a bad idea but the break to freshen up may have helped. 

If I could say one thing that pervades this website (and it's not about you @dees189227) is we fit what the football club does to suit what   ever happens, even though these things have minimal impact really. And of course, typically to the negative.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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

    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
