I was thinking about how I'll be feeling tomorrow if we drop 3 or 5 goals behind early on.

Notable comebacks for us:

  1. Round 2, we fell 3 goals behind in the second quarter St Kilda;
  2. Round 3, we fell 3 goals behind in the first quarter against GWS;
  3. Round 6, Richmond jumped us early, only two goals but were all over us pressure-wise;
  4. Round 7, we were 20 points down to North at half time;
  5. Round 8, Sydney kicked the first two goals;
  6. Round 12, we were 20 points down to Brisbane at half time;
  7. Round 23, the big Geelong comeback

Four of these were against finals sides, too.

I've been looking through the Dogs' season to see how often they fell behind but won:

  1. Round 2, they came back from 3 goals down in the last quarter to beat West Coast;
  2. Round 8, they came back from 27 points down against Carlton late in the third quarter;
  3. Round 18, they conceded the first three goals to Gold Coast
  4. Semi final, they were 3 goals behind Brisbane in the third quarter

So the semi final really is the only time they've fought back from a deficit. That really comes from their strong first quarter record, they've won almost all of them this year.

I suppose the confidence I want to draw from this is that even if the Dogs jump us early, we should feel like we're capable of bringing it back. But would they feel the same way if we get an early lead...?

I’m hoping for a strong start by us. Then we can apply the shackles on our terms. Very few sides have been able to manage any meaningful catch up footy against us.

Who else feels sick with nerves? It’s really hitting me that I haven’t thought about the possibility of losing all week. Just been dreaming about winning. That is a worry as it’s setting me up for a massive letdown if we don’t win. 
 

Yeah I feel the same. But in reality a loss will be devastating regardless so we might as well stay positive!

Man I’m like a jack-in-the-box. Can’t sit still, I’ve been told I’m moodier than normal. Wasn’t going to drink but now I’m heavily drinking and betting on the nags just to pass the time. 

this is all normal right?? 😂

Do you mean a letdown as in a GF drought breaking tilt in 2022 at the G? 🙂

Team, does anyone know who will be commentating on Kayo? I cannot stand BT.

It's not on Fox/ Kayo. On 7 only. Does anyone know if they have an after game show.

This feels like Christmas Eve when I was an 8 year old. Absolutely pumped, but some nerves kicking in now.

As long as the rain doesn’t come early, I think we’ve got this.

Dee's by 50 odd.

Stef Martin subbed out in the first quarter.

Treloar's retirement announcement in the post game presser.

Clarry BOG, but T Mac close behind him with 20 & 3.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
