Hey guys I was just wondering how many of you will be turning up to this game? I know alot of you have the "I Don't care about the pre season" attitude, but it's a great chance to see those players who have been out injured, back in action and of course our new recruits. I for one will be going, should be good. :)

Would love to go, but there is a little issue called 'work' getting in my way <_< :(

Whether you care about the results or not, it is still a good opportunity to go watch the team play, be it badly and without care, but they're still wearing red & blue!

Might even do a player by player summary after the match.

That would be great, for those of us living in Sydney, Brisbane, etc, who cant make it down to MC Labour Park on Saturday

Looking forward to it

Not I. Away for the weekend.

Go Demons!!

Yeah, I'll be there, hopefully it's a cool, but sunny day, few beers on the terrace.

More likely it'll be low 30's and sunny, you'll have to work a bit harder on the beers.

I will be there with bells on

Yeah, I'll be there. I'll file a match report for Demonland if thats any help?

I think Bring back powell is planning to do one

Thats cool if dees-rule-4-eva does one as well.

It will be good for people not going to the game to get more than one perspective.

My report will be focussing more on a player by player summary and a score out of 10.

Hope to get it released by 6:00pm Saturday night.

Thanks to everyone who is going to do a report, especially bring back powell and dees rule 4 eva

No prob, mine won't be too in depth. People who have read my match reports before will know I just give an outline of the game and best players.

Let me do a bit of crystal balling and guess what some peoples match reviews will say:

"Yze hardly got a kick, looked disinterested and soft, should be dropped for Round 1"

"Brad Miller, WTF?"

"Godders was Godders"

"Nathan Jones carved them up, but only for a half"

"Chris Johnson looked comfortable at this level"

"Mark Jamar hardly touched the ball around the ground, and Paul Johnson was hopeless in the hitouts"

Seems like I hardly need to go therefore, but probably will anyway.

PS. By the way, dont get me wrong I really appreciate the match reports people do, hopefully no offence is taken

That would be alright by me

As DemonStorm said it certainly suckcks not living in victoria to see any of these games, but i have got used to being snubbed by sydney reporters (newspaper and tv) regarding the dees

Perfect!

When I meant cool, I was just hoping it wouldn't be 39 - 40.

Just wondering = is it going to be humid?

Hope it is not for u guys because it will be an absolute stinker if it is, even if it is in the low 30s :blink:

The reason i am saying this is because where i live in sydney it has been pretty humid in the last week :mellow:

No offence taken mate. And you are probably spot on with the comments I'll make. I'd like to add to that list ... writing some glowing reports about Bruce, Green & Pickett would make my day.

Where is this place anyway??

Not sure if this was a serious question, but it's at the ground formerly known as Optus Oval (and before that, Princes Park).

I'd go along, but I'll be playing cricket.

It's free for members.

Paid up but got no card yet, hope it comes today or tomorrow. I'd rather not donate $10 to the AFL.

We seem to be going in with a much stronger squad this week.

Senior Listed Players not named in the squad for Saturday:

McLean (inj)

Paul Johnson

Sylvia (inj)

Petterd

Garland

Newton

Godfrey

Wheatley (inj)

Weetra

Warnock (inj)

Neville

Bartam (inj)

We have to cut 2-4 players.

You'd think TJ may miss.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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. 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
