When it was airing, I said to myself "…and back? We're not back yet surely."

So I decided I wouldn't watch this series till we win a flag. Didn't think we'd get this close this quick.

    I watched all the episodes again after our GWS loss earlier in the year and pretended it was all about this years pre-season.

    Around about the 23 minute mark is when they talk about the draft (what we now know as a super a draft) and I always remember Alan Richardson saying we should take Jackson.

    This was the start when the playing group started to build trust in each other our recruitment was brilliant, this was the start of team first. We didn’t get back in one season but we learnt a lot of valuable lessons that have held up and now we are almost there. I enjoyed this and we still had to make those tough calls at the end of 2020 to make sure everyone was buying in.

    Go Dees.❤️💙

    Yes that would have been worse after 2019. It is tough, naming shows I have been in production meetings where the whiteboard is blank and waiting. 
     

    Redemption is the only word, that I kept coming up with. 
     

    Won’t matter in 10 days hopefully, some may even call it inspired!!

    It was meant to be taken as to hell and then back there (to hell).

    I don't think ito hell and back was a shocking title anyway, if it was made in the last preseason it would be called a good title

    if we win the holy grail and not being a patron of talk back radio, the first thing I'm going to do is ring Kane Cornes and remind him of his previous comments on air, re this great insight and - dare I say it -  marketing tool.

    If only............ .  I keep hearing the melody to the Dire Straits song; "Brothers in Arms".  This is the connection that I hope exists within the playing group, which will get us the ultimate prize.

    But it wasn’t. It was made after the 2019 Season (5 wins)

    If we win the granny next weekend, MFC should create another video and call it ' To Hell and back- For Real This Time'

    It should have been called “If you’re going through hell…”

    I guess that would work better than: To Hell and Back with a Brief Stop in Purgatory.

    But in the 2020 season we come 9th, so the team was back from hell and into purgatory, also after this year there might be a another video, and it will be called to hell and back part 2, so it will all make sense

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
