It wasn't pretty, but that was a great win. The pressure was immense.

I'd like to suggest to anyone who's had a gut full of the inept, corrupt umpiring of interstate games to contact the AFL tonight and voice your displeasure. Absolute amateur hour, get some umpires who've got some balls to call the game correctly rather than the feckless cowards we have to put up with

16-3 after quarter time. That is not an accident. Are umpires 20 and 31 locals?

Well done boys, no ruck and beat 21.

One of the most appalling displays of umpiring I have ever seen and I've been around for a while.  The AFL have tried to make the umps some sort of footy celebrities for TV purposes, but their feel for the game and judgement is just so bad.  In fact, it currently is a blight on the game.  This win tonight is bigger for us than the score would suggest.  We had to beat incredible odds, which were solely down to atrocious umpiring, on Adelaide's turf and we did it with grit and determination.

That's the Demon spirit, which nobody can deny.  Not even the umpires.   Go you mighty Demons.

I might have been alone but I wasn’t worried all game. Whenever we were challenged we stepped up

Check out Viney in the middle each time they got close. He is unbelievable

No rucks and the most one sided pathetic umpires performance I’ve ever seen and we still won by 5 goals away from home.

Overall midfield was very solid. We did very well given we weren’t with Gawn, LJ and even TMac who would be rucks 1,2 and 3. The forward talls were serviceable in the 2nd half enough to create contests but there was still poor delivery to them given number of intercepts taken by them. 
 

There were a few hit up leads when we moved the ball fast enough, but i suspect our risk taking atm is quite low so hopefully we can push the envelope here a little more. 
 

Umpiring was terrible both ways in the last quarter but we got the short end of the stick the entire game. It was quite a poor standard I think the Dees should make a polite enquiry on #20
 

Time to recover for next weeks game against the Pussycats

Very good win against a Crows side that were switched on, as hard as us at the footy, and killed us in the air.

We MUST fix our aerial play inside F50. Until the last 10 minutes the crows backs picked us off, spoiled, blocked and out-marked us too easily.

Also, we cannot miss easy shots at goal like Bedford, BBB and Spargo in the 3rd quarter. 

Great game by our midfield. As tough as the crows were, we outlasted them and took everything they gave to us.

Langdon and Brayshaw: we will be talking about this combination for the next 50 years. Outstanding.

Hats off to our backmen. Very, very well done.

Don't know what to say about the umps. How about the head smack to Oliver?

No ruck no worries. No quality key forward taking marks no worries. 3 free kicks for in the last 3 quarters no worries.

Crows gave great effort Walker challenges most backlines but we were just too hard and classy around the ball.

Great see Trac back being Trac and Langdon back being Langdon. 

Take the 4 points and keep a space on the pack. We will need it with our run home.

Good, grind-it-out win under the circumstances. Feel that some of the players who've missed patches of footy are still a bit off the pace - May and Salem in particular, though Langdon was back to doing what he does. Hopefully only a matter of time, especially as we have some testing games ahead.

Gawn and Jackson can't come back in quick enough.

No normally an ump basher, missed all of ours and gifted them. Missed a Ben Brown mark as well. Should be raised by the club.

Who cares, we won

Really enjoyed that. Tough, gutsy win. Battled injury, umpires and a tough Adelaide team. Go Dees.

    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

    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
