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: 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.
