Not a fan of Nichols.

Isn't he the one that said to Gawn "what did you do that for?" and gawn replied "throw it up straight next time?"

Hopefully he has forgiven max

Who are our emergencies? If TMac is out then there’s a school of thought to go smaller but then we also need those tall players to ensure the ball comes to ground.

Hibberd, VDB, Jordon, Weid

Given the weather id be inclined to vanders or jj.

Like to see AVB run a straight line with a few upsetting collisions for which he is famous. Ever seen an Eagle splatted on the road from impact with a vehicle? It is not pretty, but it puts a full stop on 'em.

Hmmmm I would personally go with VDB in for TMac if there is the late change but I can see them giving Sam a go and give him simple instructions to get to as many contests as possible and bring it down to crumbers.

why a loss may not be the end of the world. MFCSS coming to the fore here.

If we win tonight, but lose against Geelong in the last round, and Port happen to beat the bulldogs in their last round, we would finish 3rd and play Port (second) away in the first final. This assumes all the top 4 win in Rd 22 - which is probably a fair assumption.

If we lose tonight, and then end up finishing fourth (assuming we lose to Geelong in the last round - which can be arranged!) we would play the Cats again in the first final (most likely at the G, but the risk is we end up at GMHBA)

Obviously the best outcome is just win the next 6 games - then nothing to worry about!

I’ve told everyone in my household that they have just 2 hours and 15 minutes left in the day to annoy me. After 8pm I do not exist and they must not come into my eyesight. 
Lockdown is hard man!

Pathetic. 

Don't make outlandish remarks if you can't back them up with facts.

Stock standard 'Jumbo' as usual.

That would be a really poor result if we win tonight but end up finishing 3rd and face Port over there. Hopefully the Dogs beat Port in round 23.

Sounds like T Mac’s out.

I had a dream last night that we played Port in the Grand Final at Optus Stadium. Was only mid way into the second quarter when the alarm went off. Think we were 2 or 3 goals up 😎

That's not certain snd if finishing higher will be given probably option of venues as in home and away.

So we need to finish 1 or 2,to get that advantage of choice wherever.

Also winning breeds confidence and self belief. Or haven't you played sport much over the journey.? 

I'm not sure I understand your first point. Are you saying the top 2 will get to choose where they play finals? That is absolutely not how it works. The AFL will tell us where we are playing.

And your second point is weirdly antagonistic for some reason. I agree winning breeds confidence and self belief. Yes, I have played a substantial amount of sport in my life.

If McDonald is out then do they go the tall in Weideman,  or bring in another small in Jordon or Vandenberg due to the weather?

Was that Tom Brown on 7 saying the AFL might scrap the last two rounds and bring the buy and finals foward?

So basically we can go from 4th right up to the top of the ladder. We can also get a 10 point buffer on the lions who are 5th. So us melbourne supporters having seen what this club can do, we all know what will happen tonight, yeh? 

I really really hope Im wrong. 

They said on the news before they reckon tommy will be out and because of the rain we may go small. West coast lost to nth in the wet a few weeks ago. The rain would be good because it would hinder kennedy and darling. 

I just hope Gawn and LJ run Nic Nat off his feet. Such an important game.

If Weeds is definitely in then this is the first opportunity we'll have to see the tall forward set up that was planned prior to the T-Mac resurrection.

    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
