Brought in to deal with quarantine issues with McLaughan and his cronies. Even though the bye might appear to disadvantage us, there are a few pros:

- we performed very strongly after our last bye last night, so following a similar program where we have an intense inter-club match effectively again should do the trick;

- the Bulldogs have got some momentum now in the finals... it halts that;

- it gives May a chance to recover and play - he's super important to our structure.

Also they have an additional week I. Quarantine in WA whilst our boys will get to enjoy some genuine r and r. This is a huge mental advantage.

At least we know now what the Bulldogs have got. If any over confidence or complacency has crept in it will be wiped now. No way I expect us to not show up like Port at the start. Port were exposed for what they were. Flat track bullies and bathwater drinkers.

Libba is a slang term for sperm in Maltese. They used to shout it with a lot of other expletives at Sunshine George Cross games I'd go to a long time ago. 

Inside the minds of the Port midfield.

It comes down to the best team on the day. 2 rested teams, its totally unpredictable! You can argue us to win but I can't seperate us and them which sets up an intriguing Grand Final. I wish it was clearer.

This is seriously embarrassing effort from Port. They’ve had a free ride not having to leave home for over a month, while all the other clubs have had to travel and quarantine for finals. Dogs weren’t even allowed to train in Adelaide!
Hinkley should get the sack for this. He’s been there a decade and it’s been a decade of almosts. What an embarrassing performance tonight by the power.

Dogs had their training run tonight...

Spurs down to 10…. Come on Palace

1-1 over in Perth so far. We're yet to hit our best form this season.

The cats you could give a minor pass on their pathetic showing given they are an ageing list and we had the week off, but Port should be absolutely ashamed of that effort tonight. They had every reason to come out the stronger team but they were pathetic. An embarrassment. Once and for all proved that they were pretenders that didn’t deserve to finish as high as they did. 

Bring on the dogs, despite the final ladder position they finished I felt they were the second best team across the year. Now it’s time we proved it.

They way a team performs during the season is the way they perform in the finals, port has the worst record against the top 6 teams.

2 weeks time.
Bulldogs won't know what hit 'em.

Caught the game a bit later.  Port put on the most pitiful effort except for about 10 minutes at the start of the 3rd.  The skill errors were non-stop and they couldn't handle the pressure.  Except for beating the dogs in rd23, they have been poor against good pressure sides all year and it showed tonight.  Dogs are a big danger, would have liked to have played them next week with a rest for them.  Given how poor PS were, its hard to get a clear red on the dogs. 

 

Our team should have done their homework like they have done for the last 2 contenders.

Possibly but Naughton is so much more agile than Petty. The closest we have is Smith imo. 
 

id go:

Smith on Naughton

May on English

Petty on Schache

Hibberd on Weightman

Lever on Hannan 

DOnt ask who I’d drop for Smith though.

 

Who would you drop for Smith?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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
