PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs


Demonland

Recommended Posts

If Dragon Boat is open Im happy, but it was totally empty last year and I thought it had turned its toes up. Its great for dinner. West lake is my favorite for Yum Cha at lunch as it is all hand made onsite yet not very expensive. But Dragon Boat (about the same pricing as WestLake) has a nicer dinner menu and IMV a better experience... but its not yumcha, although you can order a small range of entrees that feature on the Yumcha (lunch) menu.

Thanks Damo, looked open online but just tried to call and the number is disconnected. I'll look into Westlake. Thanks for the tip.

From one Molly Duker to another: Vintage Cellers is 3 doors away and Westlake charge very little for corkage. Go the Ginger Prawns, Sui Mai and the Footballs. Delicious.

1) So they can worry about their silly song instead?

2) His team are mostly kids who are into music, fun etc, not philosophy students.  Not sure I've heard of coaches filling player minds with achievements of a host of well known 'leaders', simultaneously.  The mantra most heard from coaches and players is "Keep It Simple'! 

But if it works for them, great.  I just couldn't help notice the difference in coaching approaches.

1. Sticks & stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me - but songs will 🤦🏻‍♂️
- resiliance lacking at the kennel?
2. KISS principle is perfect for footballers

I base that on them being a very good side in 2021.

They may well be the best side in 2022, which is a different year to 2021.

Counterpoint: bang bang bang; premiers; they can go [bad word] themselves.

 

GO DEMONS!!!

I understand those who caution against over-confidence. We need to be focused and disciplined to win

But let's not forget the last time we played them we smashed them by 74 points. In a grand final. We are a better all round team than they are and as long as we have our minds on the job at hand we will win this game

Bad news for the dees on the injury front ! 

According to Fox Footy tonight ' Tom Rivers ' is injured and won't play Wednesday night 

That's upsetting, especially since his brother Trent is also out injured. !!!

With Rivers and Petty missing from the GF side Gus’s selections are Hunt and Smith to replace them and Max has gone with Hunt and Tomlinson. This is from their ‘selection segment’ on their podcast unless there’s a left field selection. 
Pretty obvious it would be those 3, interesting to see who misses out.

Apparently Hunter isn't in the Doggies' side.

Possibly practising his limbo dancing? Or driving practice/lessons? 

Am I the only one that can't stand that bloke?

Hated him from the moment he grinned like an @r$ehole WHILE milking a high free during the GF. Didn't get the last laugh though, [censored].

A couple of things I'd like to see on Wednesday

 

A banner in the cheers squad that says " bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Another that says, "surely not another one"

And for Dees to enter the field to Freed from desire, with us fans doing a great rendition from the stands

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
