    I reckon 186 was worse. The 21 PF atoned to a degree but until we return the favour to the cats in full I won't be able to forget it. I hope I get to see it.

    I reckon this thread has been worth it for the gifs. Well done to all concerned.

    These are the fond memories that are always a pleasure to look back on. This, 186 and our 148 point loss versus Essendon.

    I was there with my Mum out at Waverley. Stayed till the end, tough day at the office. 

    Extremely brave effort.

    On a happier note, we did get up to beat Essendon on the following Saturday. Robert Walters kicked nine goals.

    This fact always astounds me 🤣

    Unusual tactics that year.

    From Demonwiki for 1979:

    "The club was so desperate for a competitive advantage that they had a consultant who practised a process called 'eyeballing', where players were encouraged to sit with knees touching and stare into each other's eyes, then be frank about their feelings towards their teammates contribution."

    Imagine touching knees with Big Carl or Fabulous Phil Carman!

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
