makes me ill thinking about these prelims

not sure i can gather the nerve or interest to watch them

My OP was just at a specific emotional level, DD; the boys finals are dead to me now (unless Collingwood and Carlton both crash and burn...) I've moved on, very happily, to the girls' very entertaining campaign.

GWS by a point after a controversial disallowed Collingwood goal deep in the last quarter, the camera then panning to Eddie McGuire’s stunned mullet, triple chinned beetroot face in the crowd. Our straight sets exit would almost be worth it just to see that.

It should be us playing tonight and the pies tomorrow night against Brisbane. But it's our fault we can't kick.

Really hoping the giants start well and shut the ferals up. I just desperately want them to win and obviously Brisbane tomorrow night.

I'll however be mainly watching the storm tonight in their prelim. 

A giants/storm would be great

I'll be cheering on the boys in orange with great gusto tonight. We're terribly disappointed after our [censored] the bed performances but if there's one thing that can cheer us up its the sight of the orange boys silencing the MCG. 

Blues fans have very low expectations so won't be as much enjoyment if they lose. A 100+ point shellacking might sour the euphoria they've been feeling though.

Hard to see any result aside from Pies v Lions GF.   Lions to win by a point of course - camera cut to Bucks 😂

Giants are not great at the G and will be intimidated by the crowd surely

This twilight kick off for a prelim is bizarre. as if sleeping in your own bed after the game matters as opposed the Blues relaxing in brisbane for the night and flying back in the morning. After a huge game having the ice baths and recovery would arguably by preferable to being cooped up on the plane.

If Jesse and Bedford can kick 6 goals between them (and GWS win) we should offer them life membership.

There have been so many news stories about the Blues' cheer squad travelling to Brisbane. They were/are so excited.

I feel so sorry for the Demon Army (WCW et al). It should have been them.

Pies and Lions are certainly the most deserving at this point. If GWS wins tonight we absolutely want Brisbane to win because Carlton will beat GWS in a GF.

    TRAINING: Friday 8th December 2023

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Picket Fence endured the sweltering heat on a windy day out at Casey Fields to bring you the following Preseason Training Report. Blustery day at Casey, Ground NOT OPEN?? and the only other people I saw were one bloke on the far side and another Man and Woman also watching around the south Goals, had a small pair of Binoculars but looking through the fence was problematic.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    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.
