The Demons cruised to an easy 55 point win over the Hawks at the MCG but but paid a heavy toll on the injury front with Steven May & Jake Lever possibly sidelined for a number of weeks.

If anyone is feeling a little down, go the Big Footy Hawthorn page reviewing the game.  They are a mite unhappy. And if that doesnt cheer you up, todays was Hawthorns lowest score against Melbour

Slap yourself twice for saying that beating Hawthorn by over 50 points is nothing to get satisfied about.  Need I remind you that it wasn’t long ago that they were smashing us and we were the

Goodwin 1, Critics 0. The numerous posters who moaned about team selection were confounded. Hore proved the ideal substitute in the circumstances and Petty's versatility shored up the defenc

We did what we had to when required, in the face of a scruffy opposition and hot and cold umpiring. Trac, however, was consistently a class above.

A win is a win is a win and a strong finish is what good teams do.

PS  I think the Fox commentators may have given Hawthorn the 4 points !

Hawks chip, chip, chip and we still had 20+ more tackles. 
Trac’s work rate was off the charts.

Go you Demons !!!

One of the more complete games you'll see from Christian Petracca. 29 touches 7 clearances, a goal, 11 score involvements.

And that effort tracking back to spoil! The game was done and dusted be he wasn't!

Lever said not a whole lot about what's up with his knee, getting a scan, maybe a week or two.  He's more worried about May.

I missed the game. How bad were the injuries?

May went to hospital at half time. Looks like he broke some ribs. Lever said he has something with his knee cap, it doesn’t sound mega serious but might miss some games. Petty swung back and looked like he’d never left.

I think our ball movement has taken a massive step forward. Using different angles to get those handballs to running players and trying to get through the middle more. Looking good!

Disco is injured. Not too worried with Petty, TMac, Hore and Tommo to cover. Hore can play that interceptor role

What's Gerald Healy's problem? Did we push him out or something?

The Hawks kicked one goal with May and Lever off the ground 

At Halftime they would have given themselves a sniff 

Jimmy Stynes played with Broken Ribs….

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
