Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

Or a player and a pick or two.

However our target may not be the obvious Reid. We may want a few players.

So many defeated Demons posts on here. Sure we are not playing great but it’s May FFS. We lost to a top 4 team away by 4 points

I back us to turn it around and to be playing a better brand by round 20. 

And this aura around the Pies? [censored] me, stop building it up. they have this mental hold on the comp, the Blues looked beaten when then ran out. and the Crows [censored] the bed in the last quarter. 

For me we need to play fast paced footy, we have the talent to do it. It does come with it’s fair share of turn overs but we can defend that and hurt teams more by creating constant pressure on them.

i did. hence i said i feel we can turn it around. Pies are not unbeatable and we have plenty of talent and hopefully we can make some changes to our game plan and get our clearance game going again. 

if you are sure we will not win the flag, why bother watching any games?

Because I like football, I also said they are beatable, but if we keep playing our game plan we won't.

The Filth look good unfortunately but it’s a long season with another 13 games to go .., we may actually see them travel away from the G

What to Marvel, that's a big trip for them.

WC might try to split pick 1 and use their picks on the best WA talent 

Exactly.

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

would North want another Number 1 pick though? risk another Horne Francis?

I reckon Green would be the best player in the league if he wasn’t so injury/suspension prone. 

5 minutes in, in the wet - one beautiful assist. one lovely goal 

a football genius

They just said Pies run the ground to score 1 in 3 times, from the kick out.

What would our stat be for that, kicking to a contest on the left side, nearly every time.

Also what is the stat for scores by opposition from our kick outs.

We don’t seem to be as focussed on our pressure as we were in 2021.

You know what helps. McCrae having a team that he barely has to make changes to. He has a steady reliable forward line that kicks goals. You don't see him rotating and still trying to work out his best forward line to kick goals. Take note goody 

Exactly this. We won a flag and still have no idea 2 years on what our forward line should be. They got so caught in defense that they were completely blindsided by the comp changing tact and becoming more offensive and we simply have no answer to it. Should have seen it as the afl were all talking about making the game more of a spectacle.

That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable

And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

Nah, they're much better drilled then what we were last year.

Their forward line absolutely shades above ours last year as a starter.

their scoring indicates otherwise...

their defence is excellent and their midfield outstanding

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
