I can't really see a way we don't have significantly more run in the second half. dogs had a week off, but the 5-6 weeks leading up have been as hard and emotionally draining as they're likely to get. they've certainly done it the hard way. 

they'll be setting themselves to throw a big punch early, and hope we're a little bit off like Port. 

i've said it a few times, if this is close at 1/4 and 1/2 time, it's a Demons premiership. they need to be minimum 5 goals clear and then hang on for dear life

It's the year 2000. A new era. I am an 11 year old boy in Melbourne town, just 3 years down from Brisbane. A rugby state. But footy or rugby I wasn't in a round ball state of mind. I didn't "get it".

Some of these comments….Suddenly people are jumping of Melbourne. The Dogs beat the Bombers who haven’t won a final in however many day, the Lions with an intentional rushed behind, and they flogged P

The Bulldogs’ total domination over Port Adelaide is great for us - removes any chance of treating the game as anything other than a contest to be won by hard work against a strong opponent. Heads fir

Listening to Kane Cornes this morning from Perth he reckons the general support around town is in the Dees favour against the Doggies 80/20.
 

If that translates even to 70/30 or 60/40 at the game then that’s a huge advantage on top of the fact we’ve already played some massive games at the same ground.

That, the demons being favourite on most tipping boards and that apparently we are getting most of the media attention plays right into Bevo's "us against the world" mantra he has adopted for the finals.

The mantra will be galvanising but I doubt it will get them over the line.  They don't look united or menacing enough.

There’s a lot of talk about targeting Gawn but I hope we are super aggressive on the Bont and English. 

Im sure they will but it will cost them.

Jv wont be happy and Luke Jackson will be free to run around creating havoc,

Its nice to think we have something of a home ground advantage in Perth.

Played our last game and one a few weeks back v the Eagles so I guess its a little bit more suited to us.

Aside from winning this year, it would be only fair to win back to back flags so most supporters will be able to see us win at the G.

But I get ahead of myself. The dogs will be a tough team to beat.

I hope we jump out of the blocks and kick well at goal. I think Bbb may have a big day supported by Kozzie.

The last time we met was different.

I doubt they will get 14 more frees. Josh Bruce is out. Jv is back to his best. Max has gone turbo mode. Our fwd line is settled.

Genius, as a fan I've got a 100% winning record at optus. 3 from 3. Let's hope it is 4 from 4.

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
