Are we all on the Giants bandwagon?

At least we are not on our own May be an image of crowd and text that says 'NEVER TEAR US APART OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS US OUTIN STRAIGHT SETS OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS OUT IN S OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS OUTIN STRAIGH pdod 109d'

While we are on this topic, is there nothing more cringe watching Port do this every home game to then go out and dish up this type of performance for the night?

GWS v Brisbane in the GF at the G would be funny for mine

Thousands handing back tickets..... Wonder what the crowd # would be??

In a surprise move AFL have decided that all members will get a GF ticket. the other 70,000 go on sale Wednesday.

GWS play with no fear. (Unlike us: we seemed mentally fatigued). Maynard certainly would not attempt to poleaxe Toby Greene, he would get his face caved in. Would be excellent to see Collingwood get knocked over after their recent AFL-approved performances.

If I had told you ten weeks ago both Carlton and GWS would get to the Preliminary finals I'd be still reading the responses.

I'm proud to say I picked the GWS renaissance before we played them in Round 15 or whenever it was.

However at quarter time of Carlton v GC at the MCG in June, I thought Carlton were more likely to finish bottom 4 and sack Voss than get anywhere near this far.

Toby Greene the player most likely to punch/kick/bite Maynard in the throat, so that's a good match-up for next week.

I could live with a Brisbane/GWS grand final.

Whatever is further from a Carlton/Collingwood match up. Jusy mopping up the media [censored] would cost the Victorian government more than the Commonwealth Games.

Edit: I'm surprised that was censored, but concede it was grotty. I leave it to everyone's imagination.

Absa-bloody-lutely!

Despite being labelled as such they are a proper club not a soulless franchise.

Credit to Kingsley he has Whitfield, Kelly, Coniglio, Ward and Green playing great football. Last year the first three looked like they were going through the motions.

They have the weapons to worry Collingwood. Fingers crossed.

Plus they have a cool theme song!

Port really did overperform finishing third. Apart from four decent mids (Butters, Rozee, Horny Francis and Drew) plus Houston  and a decent small forward in Rioli what else do they have?

Orange juice with the pulp (Bedford & Hulk) vs the no pulp alternatives in the filth, Blues or Lions??

Hard call.  Let me come back to you after a serious mull over....

Ok done... it's a GIANT yes from me!!

These concocted pre-game chants, mantras, rock songs and themes (possessed!) do my head in.

Enter the sandman i think is used by about 80% of clubs as their teams run out.....booooring!  Anything but pls. 

Maybe Hells Bells or just play a different song that each player gets to choose beforehand?  The theme song on its own.

Can we just be the Mighty Demons with the caricature up on the screen and the mascots running around taking each other out!!??

    TRAINING: Monday 4th December 2023

    A number of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the heat to venture down to Gosch's Paddock as the entire list returned to the training track for the annual time trials. Here are some observations from KEV MARTIN, CLANIKO, WALKING CIVIL WAR, WAYNE WUSSELL, DEEZ MAN & OLD 55. KEV MARTIN’s PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Summer training, time trials and all back into it. 45 players in the squad, including a strong looking Noah Yze (did not time trial).  I think the only one mis

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted. Women’s football continues
