3.12am and I can't sleep - and the Gameday thread is already up!  Gotta love Demonland!

Go Dees - get the job done and the remaining games will look a whole lot less formidable!

Confident going into this.

The key focus over the week would have been defence and pressure!

If ever there was a season defining game it would be this.

An AFL game played on an oval which will have an extremely dangerous surface! MADNESS!

Win or lose, It might be season defining for both teams, if it's an epic tussle that proves Freo (and us) have very strong premiership credentials.

It would be awesome to smash them and begin a campaign of demolition again, but the neutral in me kind of wants an epic match of the year contest where both clubs play a brand of ruthless defensive pressure to the death, that makes Geelong and their media sycophants [censored] themselves about another prelim disappointment. Carn the Doggies at GMHBA too!

I’m bizarrely confident about tonight’s game although I could sleep much. 

Only 14 hours til first (recalled) bounce!

I want to see pressure, intensity and desperation. A return to our 2021 brand

And some inside F50 tackles please

The march to the flag starts tonight

I'm buoyed by the news of Brayshaw's re-signing and hope the players have had a similar boost.

With no evidence at all to back me up, I just feel that a corner has been turned and we'll win tonight in the first step towards a strong finals run.

That first line says it all. Bring that, and we win this and it sets us up for the next 3. If we don't, then it says a lot about our chances from here.

Odds watch. 

Opened 1.90 equal favs, which seemed fair enough given the form lines of both sides, the relative ladder positions and the fact the game is on freo's home deck. And surely no-one would be keen to trust us with their money given we are apparently not hungry or ruthless enough

Into 1.86 soon after.

Into 1.80 by Tuesday (even after it was announced bb wasn't playing).

Into 1.77 on Wednesday.

Remarkably, on game day, now into 1.72.

The weather might be a factor, but today's forecast is that whilst plenty of rain will fall today, and so the ground will be slippery, it will clear by the arvo.

I wonder if Lobb is going to be late out?

May drift, but unlikely to get into anything shorter than 1.80.

The pros must really think we will magically rediscover our 'hunger'.

Because being people who make a living out of punting by being hard nosed, unemotional realists put a lot of stock in such nebulous concepts.

Thought I'd randomly check weather radar. Wet deck on a dodgy ground that recently had turf changed.

What could go wrong.

Pros must believe we will suddenly remember how to pressure, run both ways, be sharper with skills, be mentally more ruthless, have greater inside 50 connection. Can’t think of any other factors :))

Play well Demons and lets get a much needed win - if we are to really challenge and go back to back this is the game we need to win

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    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.
