    Yeah well, coz I greatly respect and love Clarry Choo Choo and the sauce, of info in hindsight better to keep my mouth shut, for a change! But nothing sinister I can say!🤐

    Fair enough, mate. Hopefully it's on the positive side of the ledger.

    You see I bl@@dy told youse all. Don't recruit any Western Stralians. Even from the middle of nowhere. Go home factor has struck already. Makes Jackson look like a career Demon. 😎

    Thanks for the report @picket fence.. certainly appreciated for the likes of myself who live in a different state and can't attend.

    I'm interested around your comment with Josh Schache? Does he playing the roaming CHF role using his high endurance levels or is he poaitioned as as the stay at home forward? Then obviously playing as the 2nd ruck role as well which we'll need for Max. 

    Also, how was Ollie Sestan during that session?

    Thanks Dazz it appears that it is a combo of both BUT stay at home he is covering a lot of territory running up the ground even as far as almost CHB before sprinting back to forward line. If this is the plan, it might, just might Click!

    Solid and relaible as always, also Bill Laurie showed a bit today as did Jake Bowey. Sheesh competition for places will be at an all time high with the quality we are assembling!

    Thanks for the report PF, but you must have missed the Demonland community memo - apparently we have zero depth and 2024 is already a write-off.

    January footy media!

     

    They made a story up about Salem (midfield push) as an excuse to a) bring Clayton into the story and b) show that salem has an injury (because they couldn’t  just say ‘he has an injury concern’ because the club would’ve said they have zero concern).

    was he with the backline or midfield group?

    Many thanks again, Mr Fence.  🐍

    From the glowing report I can see the only reason to place bets for 2024 would be as to who will be runners up in our GF slaughter. 🙄

    I like the sounds of a team with Yze, Brown, Viney, White, Woey in it. Don’t suppose Gaz, Ox or Neita  had male footy progeny at all?

    Lyon has 3 adult sons that couldn't or wouldn't make the grade.

    Neita has 2 daughters probably both aged under 10.

    Ox has a teenage son (and daughter I think). Does anybody know if he's jumping up the ranks or even plays footy?

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
