Umpire News:

The umpires for this evening are,

21 Simon Meredith

22 Nathan Williamson

27 Andre Gianfagna

32 Jacob Mollison

These umpires did not officiate in either of the Melbourne v Carlton games in 2023

Three of them (21, 22, 27) officiated in our round 24 match against Sydney. The free kick tally in that game was Demons 18, Sydney 10.

Carlton have had Meredith 4 times in 2023, Williamson 4 times, Mollison 4 times and Gianfagna once.

We have had Meredith 3 times, Williamson 5 times, Mollison 3 times and Gianfagna 5 times.

Only bad omen I can see is that we had Meredith and Williamson against Essendon, but still managed to get 23 frees to 19.

I only ask for two things from our games: a fair run with the umpires , and the team to have an honest crack, don’t play dumb and kick straight (ok, 4)

If we still lose with all that, then fair enough. 
 

oh, one last thing - I hope we don’t have feral sniper thugs take our players out. I always wish that.

Dees at the 'G are living proof there is no such thing as home ground advantage. We have won 11 from 15 at the 'G this year (not all home" games, obviously) so hardly a fortress. And, as for finals at the 'G, we've had nothing since 2018 (mainly due to Covid in 2021, admittedly).  Is playing at the 'G against co-tenants different to playing a proper away team? Do we have a home ground advantage against co-tenant Carlton tonight? Even if it is our "home" game, the Carlton crowd is likely to be louder. Where is the advantage?   

Yes, we should have gotten 75% of the tickets

How are there still 4 hours left??

How much more work must I ponder, and today's to-do items heaved onto Monday must I do until this thing starts already?

Sorting my timber stack, very similar to moving deck chairs on the titanic. Put timber there……back to here next month…….and so it goes. We shouldn’t have had to play tonight. 

Ok. That is a reminder.  Order some fire wood 4 next winter.    Have not had the fire on for 3 weeks  pretty soon we will be opening all windows to get a breeze.

Kozzy actually had a better game last week than I thought he did. Was in everything in the second quarter and could’ve had 2 goals on the board that quarter had Fritsch actually applied a shepherd on the goal line to prevent Murphy from touching it.

Wonder if he has a 3-4 goal performance because you’ll know he’ll probably have 3-4 shots at goal.

Salem is grossly out of form and may be paying the price for his interrupted pre season and knee injury in the early rounds.

I was bemoaning the absence of our small forwards at the end of the first quarter last week, but Kozzie was one of the first players to step up in the second quarter. I hope he has a big one and gets more reward on the score board 👍

So.... who's booked their flights to QLD?

I have.

Thankfully airlines have invented this thing called a travel bank.

I would love to see Tom McDonald lead up more tonight and contribute a bit more 

Think he needs to. I don't think we can carry him with just 0-1 goals.

Anything good happen for anyone so far today?

Just at the dentist with a tooth ache on a tooth that just had a root canal filling. Surly the day is going to get better.

If they bomb it in we lose!

Need to play trac fwd! 

The Grundy situation is embarrassing and feel for him, should be playing or what was the point and will go down as the most botched up trade ever. Club has gotten most trades right and can’t question the talent from late picks but this one will hurt & tarnish a few as it’s backfired

I’ve done way more work today than I did last Thursday in the lead up to the game. I call that a win. 

Me too Jaded, was actually my most productive day of the week. 

Human psychology is a funny thing isn't it.

Me and the Fam heading to the G shortly in good form with the Prelim and GF wins at Subiaco our most recent Finals 👍

Thinking the loss of Gus early unsettled us last week, expecting our defensive pressure to be dialled up considerably this week and will be too much for the Blues over 4 qtrs.

Go Dees

I think there should be a 20% productivity rule on days your team is playing in a final.

Mind you, I'd still probably fail but it's a low bar to aim for!

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.

    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.
