Happy Grand Final Day, Demonlanders (east coast!).

Remember, in the words of a wise Demon this season: "Whatever happens, we still love you".

Been wide awake since 5am. Am trying to post here to help fall back asleep. Doubtful. This is going to be a very long day. It’s like the massage I had to relax yesterday never happened

The old Kings Park photo op. I do love Perth as I have family and friends there BUT the attitude towards "easteners" is small town minded. Fortunately most don't subscribe to it. Max lead our boys to the premiership. I was at the last one and been waiting a long time  for this one. Bring it home. Go Dee's.

Channel 7 is quality….

No wonder they have such great commentary teams when they can send this…

What do you expect when Channel 7 is run from Sydney. No Flippen idea that lot up there.

This whole thing about playing once in 28 days [censored] me no end

We are playing our 3rd game in 29 days tomorrow, 4th in 35 days

WBD are playing their 4th game in 28 days, also their 4th game in 36 days (5th in 37)

Makes no [censored] difference 

Can someone get this thru to Matthew Lloyd. That's all he sprouts is one game in 28 days. Mind you he is tipping us.

We started the cheer squad in 1959 so have seen a few (1956 onwards). In 1964 we were in T-section (city end) which was standing room only  but had 4 rows of seats on the fence. After the game we stayed at the G overnight as the club put on food and drinks and we just soaked up the atmosphere. Played footy on the ground in eerie light around midnight. Still have very clear memories from that finals series and looking forward to new memories from this season.

After so many years of finding ways to deliver less than expectations, it's time for this club to find a way today. Won't be easy against a quality side...we are going to need to withstand a huge amount of pressure and respond with more pressure for longer.

There are no ifs or buts today. Just find a way.

I was up before the sparrow farted.

Every time I think of the game I just picture Gawny holding up that cup.

Into the garden for a few hours now to burn up some nerves

Agree. It should be a game every two weeks.

I feel really calm so far, but this afternoon I will be a wreck and when they run out ill start crying with nerves.

They are the better team, are more united and want to win it more than the dogs - i think they get it done.

Was just going over our year 2000 fwd line and wondering how we didnt go all the way.

Sharwtz, neiter, farmer, robertson and green. Wow

Lets do it for them.

Started barracking for Dees in 64, I am 64 and my blood sugars were 6.4 this morning. If that’s not a positive omen for a win I’m not sure what else there is. Go Dee’s!!

It’s a hell of a forward line. Can anyone remember why Cam Bruce didn’t play? Injured in the PF? The inexperienced and undersized Ben Beams takes his place.

The rest of the ground wasn’t that strong though. A good honest midfield with the likes of Rigoni, A.McDonald, Leoncelli and Powell, against an experienced, invincible Bombers outfit with a mix of good (Mercuri, Misiti etc) and great (Hird). The backline looks flimsy on paper in hindsight. Ingerson is the lynchpin but his support cast is Matthew Collins and big Nicho - again, honest competitors, but they’re no Lever and May. The running backs are Walsh, Ward and Woey - all capable footballers but won’t get near it if the mids and tall defenders get spanked (spoiler alert: that’s exactly what happened).

I reckon the ‘21 Demons would spank the ‘00 team by a similar margin to what Essendon did.

Its off topic but Id like to point out the flak we got after 2018 season.

We were pointed out for going from a prelim to the bottom tier the next year.

Well the grand finalists of that year.....look at them now compared to us.

Travis and Shane were not too shabby but our backline certainly got exposed.

It certainly says a lot for the Dons team

A wrist or a forearm injury in the PF I think.

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
