So we shouldn't have to play them twice due to ladder positions last year. How come we always play them over there ? It's like always having to playing at Geelong every year.

Yep, time to shine lads! Get fit, prepare thoroughly and with purpose. Stay out of the media spotlight. Go over there, exorcise the demons of September 2018, but most importantly just get the 4 points! It is a marathon, not a sprint, but what a brilliant opportunity to make a statement! Go Dees!

Here I was thinking it’s been ages since we played the Eagles at the G.

I actually think if we win this and go on to have a good season, it’ll be like lifting the curse that was placed upon us at this venue during a Saturday afternoon in September 2018.

We start winning games regularly, then we dictate or fixture. 
Right now we take what we are given, 2019 was a shambles

Spot on SWYL, it is easy for the AFL to treat s poorly after the crap we dished up in 2019.

With no injuries / poor preseasons I believe we can beat the weagles, we did it in 2018 why not 2020?

Epic lols. 
I can’t wait to see the rest of the draw. We are going to be screwed big time this season. 
 

Guess I’ll need to get Fox Footy again.

The only time I remember playing them there in round 1 we only kicked 3 goals and got trashed but the next week we won by over 100 points I think. Against fitzroy ??. Not looking forward to it.

I actually don't mind playing west coast r1. It gets that trip out of the way and Id rather do it early on then towards the end of the year. We have been petty lucky to play r1 at home the past few years. 

I expect the boys to be pumped and ready r1. If they aren't there is a problem.

Then we are running tired for the rest of the season while everyone else is still fresh

Knowing this team we will win this and lose to Gold Coast at the G in week two.

Gold Coast are better to avoid early in the season, they are normally okay for the first part of the season.

Lol. I thought [censored] teams get soft draws usually. Looks like the AFL want north to get pick1 next year.

Obviously not ideal, but there are a couple of things in our favour...

1. Better preparation time.  Top teams of 2018 all struggled in the opening couple of rounds this year against teams that had longer preseasons.

2. We actually have a decent record against WC over there compared to most:

2016: WCE by 6. (Dominated but we’re inaccurate- should have won)

2017: MEL by 3. (Close all night- great goal to win)

2018: MEL by 17. (Depleted Eagles but we dominated play all day)

2018: WCE by 66. (Can’t recall the details)

2019: WCE by 19. (Led all night until last quarter fade-out)

3. I’m predicting the Eagles to slide in 2020.

Don’t have to travel interstate for a change to watch round 1. 
 

What’s not to like?

We kicked 2 goals

My only trip to the west was the round one game where we kicked 2 goals 8. If this is to be our only visit to the House of Boooooo next year then I'll take it.

They’ll probably give us 2 games at the other Boo Stadium west of here.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
