These setups never end well for us. 

I dunno, I think we've capitalised quite well on these opportunities last 2 years... We snuck into second last year taking our chance in the last 2 rounds and were sitting 3rd after Round 20 of 2021... so we've put the throttle down in these situations the last two years. Would be unreal if we do it again.

Fair call. Carlton beat the top two sides. Could be us next 😬

I think tomorrow is a crucial game. If we get over that I can feel something a little special building. We shouldn't fear anyone.

outside the top 4, i'll take gw$, crom ahead of the baggers

footscray are just looking like they are losing too many key position players at this point in time

Carlton are on a winning streak with the largest injury list in the comp atm and plenty of those injuries are to their most important players. 

Their form couldn't be any more impressive.

Didn’t even realise Wines was playing

Done nothing since he fluked a Downlow win. Very average player

I admire the way fly coaches. And I've envied and marvelled at the way they've played for the majority of this year and think Goodwin could take some lessons from the way they play. 

Doesn't mean I don't despise the club and wish them to lose. I've always hoped that their unbelievable form would shake toward the pointy end and even though it's one game, I'm hopeful they'll stumble a bit from here which will give some confidence to sides like us heading into finals. 

Same can be said about Brisbane and Port after tonight. 

I just reallllly hope the players are realising this and play ruthless football tomorrow against Richmond. I mean come out breathing fire and play desperate and ferocious football all day. 

Tomorrow could be the catalyst for us to hit form and make a charge for top 2.

The pessimist and scarred supporter says that we'll fluff tomorrow. But I'm praying the players take ownership and realise what a golden opportunity this is for us. It starts tomorrow. The leaders need to know the importance and play with that intention all day. 

Show it to us Melbourne.

Well lets hope the Eagles don't run the roos into form...lol

Would be nice to see roos [censored] the Eagles by 100+ and win one or two more. Would be bad optics for the afl to grant massive concessions.

No,  we want to finish second, and if we win our games, and Port lose to Adelaide tonight and Geelong at Geelong (on the rebound) next week, then it is very achievable.

your'e more optimistic than me but correct. I can only dream of 2nd which the team will be in far better shape this year than last. Unbelievable if it comes off.

Crows should win it from here and port will have lost 3 on the trot with Cats next week without a backline. Did Hinkley get his contract extension? 

Not yet and Kochie must be sitting back thinking how clever he is. On the other hand, Ken may want to leave it all behind also.  I hope we now don't get the lazy media pile-on to Ken about shaky ground etc. So unbecoming.

The media story should be last years Premiers a good chance to miss finals.  Everyone came after us last year. Now its the Cats turn.  AT least we made the 8 with a banged up list. Cats have no excuse.

As we had a banged up list they have an aged list. Could it be, AT LAST, the cliff is nearby? Oh I do hope so. Only hate the druggies more than this club.

Sorry youre' right - Age is their issue and in hindsight I suspect many will see 2022 as their last hurrah.  They sneaked in under the wire.  Garry Lyon was effusive last night on just how speedy Freo was compared to cats.

IMO the same might be said of the Pies weakness as showed by the Dees on KB and I reckon follwed fairly closely by Carlton on Friday.

I will never watch this and not tear up. Pure. Magic. 

The look on the faces of the poor dogs supporters was great as well.

In less than a minute they had to process it was all over

AFL need to send Port a "Please Explain" regarding the Alir Alir incident. Looked very bad. 

He was knocked out cold. How a Dr clears him to play after that is beyond me. I hope he's Ok.

Kelli Underwood late in the game at Carrara - 

"This is a significant 4 minutes coming up in the history of the Gold Coast Lions"

She also called Charlie Cameron, “Charlie Curnow”.

Oh come on there was a Charlie in it and a surname starting with C that's close enough for her...

They’ll be a force next year 

Easily good enough to finish top 4. Could displace Port.

At the lions game at the gabba last year. Straw poll of lions fans there had Hipwood at No.1 to get rid of. Very little love for him up there. Cornes was on the money querying his 7 year or so deal.

    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.

    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.

    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
