The main reason we lost to them last year was we had heavy legs due to training loads and the brilliance of Toby Greene.

No Toby Greene this time. Another regulation 4-5 goal win coming up

Agree, no Toby Greene, no training loads, and no Mummy who definitely made Giants walk taller!

Be interesting to see Pruess against Max, followed by Jackson!

Expecting a solid 5 goal win - even though would love to see a big win, but hard to argue with Demon game philosophy after last years ultimate success!

Go Demons!

Pruess should be suspended  for this match

It was a hard game to sit through we were sitting on the wrong wing and didn’t get to see much action up close. We were lethargic and made a lot of errors whereas they made every opportunity stick. Looking forward to a good win and seeing Max show Preuss who’s the boss.

Pruess won’t be lining up from the looks of things

They have a very, very good midfield, and then no other real strengths. Some individual players have real skill but our defence mindset should cover them.

You are correct. The result is left resting with the umpires; their obvious preference(s) lie time and again with GWS.

What a day this was, thought we might have blown our top 4 chance and it also turned out to be the last time we could go to the G that year. What happened next speaks for itself and it's time to atone for it this Sat.

We missed plenty of opportunities to win this one in the last quarter. Had plenty of the ball but didn't execute well. 

We'd only lose one more game for the year after that one too  

When going through the replays one by one during the off season I thought that last quarter was one of our best until that time.

We didn't score but we did everything else extremely well

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
