I don’t know why, but this has really hit home for me. I’ve been posting on here (mostly garbage) since 2005 and my life has changed a lot in that time but Demonland has been a constant throughou

This is surreal.    I’m going to a GF in Perf that my beloved Demons are playing in.    Giddy up!! 🔴🔵💪

Too distracted to post much of late. I think we win, and win pretty easily in the end. Objectively the bookies have got the price right at 1.65 (it has been the quote for two weeks now).

I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.

The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag.

Our wings have been ordinary

Our fwds are struggling

Our defence is in complete disarray

Our mids are missing

Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

 

Our leaders need to lead

It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

    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.

    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
