The one thing I cannot cop tomorrow night is being intimidated physically. 2000 has never sat well and I'm sick of moments where for whatever reason we didn't back guys up. We must not let them walk over us.

Can I say that this "layzie" poster can speak for me for the foreseeable future.....

I would personally be disgusted if our team instigated or planned to take players out of the game to win dirty. 

Leave that crap to the Hawks, Bombers etc clubs. No-one has forgotten the acts of Wallis and Long in 2000 and I would not want that kind of cloud having over a premiership win for us.

Play hard, play on the edge, but play fair

I know both teams will be out to intimidate their opponents today . It is football and a GF . Win at all costs .Not many agree with me that Michael Longs career was tarnished by trying to kill Simmonds in 2000 . Other than MFC supporters who remembers Wallis .

Both coaching groups would have spent 2 weeks trying to work out who to target , its their job . I would always target the captain when I played . Focus on the leaders and their weak links . It works in war and today is war . Both teams will be expecting it .The team that will win will be looking forward to it more than the other .

Both teams will not cross the line imo . They will intimidate buy attacking the ball first and applying pressure second . Both teams will stick up for their mates . Both teams should be operating right at the line .

As we saw in 2000 the statement needs to be made right from the outset .

I believe the Dees will win because our spirit and team culture is superior .

Alistair "Sleepy" Lynch was allowed to take steroids during his last season at the Lions then go psycho throwing hooks and uppercuts during the game. 

The exemption for steroid use was that he claimed to have CFS. What a crock.

There is a major flaw in the game-no sin bin.

And not one punch landed LOL

I believe that player caught deliberately punching players in a Grand Final should be Red carded in the game and the team cannot replace the player and will be subjected to a 12 month ban from the game.

A Youtube rabbit hole led me to the 1992 GF last night, and the first 15 minutes especially from Gary Ablett were unlike anything you could possibly see these days in terms of illegal hits.

Not sure how a modern team would respond to that, and I could see it winning a flag out of the blue (with major controversy coming from it).

I think a player or team will go full 1990s one year and cause a red card or something similar to have to come into play in future years.

I think the scar visible on Gary Lyon's chin is a result of a behind-the-play elbow from that animal, Ablett.

Lyon was holding Ablett almost kickless that day on the MCG, till Ablett did a "Matthews", and knocked him out  when the ball was 100 metres away.

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
