I want to win the premiership obviously. Anything else this year at this point will be a disappointment.

Having said that, I'd love to see us go 20-0 no matter what happens after that.

Not sure about the veracity of this data. Where's Essendon in 2000, for example? Should be somewhere in the first column.

 I think it’s a column for teams that didn’t win the flag that year.

Nope, this is a list of undefeated teams who did not win the flag that year.

This list doesn’t include 1956 when we won the first 13 games of the season and won the flag.

...because the list only shows streaks by teams that did not go on to win the flag that year.

So my take from this is; around 30% of teams who achieve this go on to win the flag!

If you told me at the start of the season we have a 30% chance of winning the Cup at this stage, I would be a bit skeptical.

I'm enjoying each and every win.

I dont think we are the best team, but i dont think its fully clicked for us yet either.

What I am really enjoying is that this seems to be it. We look like a team who will have a successful run for a number of years.

Sure beats talking to all of you on here about who we are going to take in the draft and how good we will be in 5 years time.

Enjoy it!

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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
