Back on the hallowed turf of the MCG before a crowd of the Demon faithful for the first time in ages. 

Time to revive the spirit of 2018 and move forward from there.

Go Dees!!!

So excited I can’t sleep.

Cannot wait to sit down in the MCC with my Dad and two brothers for the first time since 2019.

Just quietly, really looking forward to a few frothies while seated in the stands too. 

Let’s go Dees!

Enjoy your day. Am in Sect 4 in outer In Great Southern Stand.

Getting 7.40 am flight from Brisbane to o by here on this iconic day which figuratively means so much for  us.
 

We must make a statement with a performance like vs Tigers in practice game. That would be good enough to win by 3/4 goals today I imagine.

I’ll hardly get any sleep either - but for different reasons. Match starts at 3:45 a.m. for me.

Wonder what sort of crowd we'll get. I'm predicting 25k.

Safe travels 58.

You trip will be worth because I believe we'll win. It may not be pretty with our depleted forward line but we'll have enough to see off Freo.

Similar Ben.

It’s been way too long.

A few beers pre-game, saunter down to the G in time for ball-up and hopefully a Dees win.

Life is good.

Make sure to set 2 alarm clocks in case the first one doesn't go off!

Pert reckons about 27k. A disappointing turnout in my view given the year we've just had. Where are all the Dees supporters?

A lot would be thinking why go just to get another knee in the groin.But I do think on such a beautiful day 30k is more like it

It's no wonder the club was sending emails. Pert predicting 27k is disappointing.

Happy game day everyone.

Like others, I’m a bit nervous. I’m still concerned about our lack of run, spread and class, as I have been for years now. We should still be good enough, but it will need to be a performance more like the Richmond game than the Doggies game.

Sadly I couldn’t get down from NSW fr this week.  Im def on edge today. This season could be anything , a genuine crack at the top 4-6 or a collapse and a coach sacking. Today will tell us a lot.... im in the former camp. Let’s go dees!

You know my favorite thing about round one? The montage, nothing better than a good footy montage. I wish I had montage guy's voice I'd voice over my whole life.

I’m really sorry guys, I drank out of my Pink Floyd mug rather than Demons mug this morning. I’ve let Simon Goodwin know that I have made learnings and worked really hard on developing my brand. Hopefully will put out a 4 quarter effort next week.

Family footy time is back, looking forward to walking into the G with the kids again.

All summer we’ve heard how the boys can’t wait to play in front of us again, we’ll do our part by turning up, giving them a loud cheer when they run out and hopefully they return the favour with a win. 

Enjoy the day all, Go Dees!

Livid I can’t get there today as I’m stuck working hotel quarantine.

Hope those that make it along to the game enjoy a great day. Praying for a solid win first up. Go Dees.

Have some mixed feelings. I’m really looking forward to the footy but, in order to get there, I’ve had to disclose to the maid that lockdown is over. Arrh well.. all good things!

It’s always good to watch a kid debut and at the other end of the scale, I hope Jones has a decent game.

My highlight will be Fritsch kicking 5 big ones!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.
