Society needs both optimistic and negative people. We've evolved this way. I'm naturally more optimistic but we do need negative people. This certainly comes through with how people support their footy teams.

Don't get me wrong, I'm negative during the game. I'm positive when my rational side takes over post game.

I'll just stick to self abuse then.

Haha!  Win or lose I'm sure the shiraz will be ready back at The Manor!🙃

On second thoughts maybe it is flowing at the G or you have a stash to indulge, on the way back to The Manor...🙃

I love how parts of Demonland is framing this one already. If we lose, we're hopeless and no contender. If we win, Collingwood were missing all their players. 👌

 

Yeah frame stores must be doing a roaring trade, wish I had one.

Slept in, cereal with fruit and Keffir, a nice home brewed coffee from local (and outstanding) coffee roaster Custom Coffee, into my Dees gear, about to jump in the car with eldest adult daughter who like me, is a mental Dees fan., and head the 'G.

At this point, the Pies have played better football so they have to go in as favourites, but will yell my guts out and hope for a strong win.

The Yin and Yang of life. Superman had his Lex Luthor, Luke Skywalker had his Darth Vader, Kane had The Undertaker, Optimus Prime had Megatron, Kenny G had Michael Bolton, Albanese has Dutto. It's the circle of life.

Collingwood are the hottest team in the competition.  They have won this round over us a lot more than we have.

Despite Jvr winning a nomination last round our forward line is still very much in doubt. Our backline has Bowey out. Our midfield has our star Oliver out.

Don't know why but I think we will somehow win today.

And even better, a stash to share!

Just hanging with the kids and texting the 4 collingwood mates I go to the game with. I've been in their faces for a month. If we lose I'm doomed.

Fallback scenarios:

- West Coast Eagles 2018 (We are the Eagles)

- Swans prelim lose last year

- Giants prelim lose 2017

- Demons 2021

Me too, I'm just going to have my eyes closed for the whole game I'm that confident.

JVR seems to have the qualities to be a big game player. Going into beast mode in the 4th quarter against RFC has been my season highlight - for the spectacle and the potential it portended. 
Too much to ask for a repeat performance, but if he can play like he did against CFC, it will go a looong way towards us kicking a competitive score.

To be fair I think people are talking about selections and in-game moves rather than during the week training methods when talking about him being stubborn and not bold but I like the way this is going.

Some will take a pottie at Goody at any opportunity and for any reason, not just in-game changes or selections. Says more about them than about Goody. Anyways, those snags ain’t gonna cook themselves… WCW gawn. 🤪

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5
