Scott - We had the flu and covid and a tummy bug but we're not making excuses because we've been loading and Tom Stewart was missing and Selwood was scared of Viney and May is a bully and Max is too t

This is what the run home looks like: Many 8pt games among the top 8 (red and blue) and a fair smattering of their games vs teams 9 to 12 (green).  Even the teams in 13 to 18 can do damage.

Our form isn't great and have lost 4 games when leading by 20+ points, is  it Fitness or Attitude??

Will be very surprised if we make top 4 now and possibly lose our next 4 games to top 8 teams

Finals start now. 8 weeks.

2x blockbusters at the MCG.

2x big Road-trips.

 Each game is against top 4 contenders.  

Our record v bottom 8 teams. 11-0

Our record v top 8 teams. 2-5. !!!!! 

A lot of players need a rocket.  We thought 10-0 it was all just good enough. But the warning signs were there with 1/2 or 3/4 game efforts good enough.  Not any more !!! 

Something is off.....they can't hold onto leads and have lost 4 games, even against the crows they took foot off the pedal and also against bottom teams.

Fitness or Attitude?

Christ. 

Anyone who thinks we're likely to go 0-4 are delusional. 

We should be winning two. And I'm hopeful we can win three. 

We're a bloody good side, just need to get going. 

No more injuries please.

Yes we are good side but the reality is we keep given up 20+ point leads and have lost 4 games in the same fashion

We will be going in as underdogs against all the remaining games against top 8 teams & will be lucky to win 1-2 of them based on current form.

Only Geelong and Collingwood now right? Right?

Yes and I think it would be best if this dominates the media and gets plastered across the papers.

Cats always make finals given their quaintly shaped home ground where very few opposition fans can attend. 
But what is their record at the G this year? Or any year and at any normal shaped and sized ground for that matter

Cats also playing north, Weagles twice this year. 4 percentage boosters. 

They also play 3 other teams outside the 8, port, saints and bullies twice. 

Cats are home and away specialists.

Our double up games are:

  • Freo finished 11th
  • Collingwood finished 17h
  • Port finished 3rd
  • Lions finished 4th
  • Bulldogs finished 2nd.

Its the luck of the draw that Eagles slid, North stagnated while Freo and Pies have climbed giving us a tough run home and the Cats an easy run.

But really if we can't beat Freo, Coll, Carlton and Lions (again) we don't deserve a double chance and won't last long in the finals.

It is totally in our control.

This time last year we lost too the dogs then went on our run so hopefully history repeats but that was against easy opposition apart from Geelong, on current form it’s hard to see us winning any of the 4 games

If we were to drop all 4, what has to happen for us to miss the 8? Asking for a friend

One of the Bulldogs Saints or Tigers have to win all 4 matches, make up % and also we have to lose all 4.

Tell your friend that either Dogs, Tigers, or Saints have to run the table from here or we have to get smashed a couple times and then the Dogs can drop one and get over us.

Assure your friend that if we lose the next 4 (ala 2004), our embarrassment will be a first week of finals exit…

The Pies are on the same points as us. I actually feel sick. I've hardly ever wanted the Bombers to win more than I did tonight.

    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.

    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
