St.Kilda  to win by 5 goals. Goody has lost the plot.

Hate to say it but I think you may be right.

Question for the MFCSS types - have you been confident about a single game since Round 1, 2021? We'll win this and next week and be 8-4 going into KB. Have to say I'd be very tired being pessimistic all the time.

Every time I get confidence we put up games like last week. Also our form line is nowhere near what the game / loss record suggests.

When the weather is awful in the UK?

It was one game, Langdon wouldn't have made a difference to whether we won or lost.

Ed has played 17, 24, 23, 25 games since coming to the Dees. He is possibly the most no-fuss player on the list. Turns up almost every week, runs his butt off, then you never hear about him off-field.

Yes he is paid well to play AFL footy but it was one game. His sister shouldn't have to work her life around him.

sister getting married far more important than a job.

that said i would have tried to influence the date she chose and would definitely have told her to forget about September

We are currently sitting outside the 8.

There's no way sugar coating this, our form of late has not been up to a top 4 standard and we deserve to be in the position that we find ourselves. 

Drop tomorrow and things get very interesting from here on.

WCW was at training today. Maybe she could tell us if the boys had some Vicks Vaporub on.

I’ve heard this rumour and I don’t think there’s any truth to it. Everyone was at training today and everyone looked just fine. The mood was great and the energy was infectious (poor choice of word 🤭). If anyone had Covid, they sure hid it well.

edit: that extends to the Casey players as well. They trained immediately after the firsts. All were there and no one was unwell.

We are in the midst of a slump and I doubt Goodwin has the coaching nuance to coach us out of it this week.

The writing has been on the wall for our forward structure for quite some time and he's even admitted that this week is going to be a "slog". You just know that means we'll score 60 points and some potato for St Kilda will kick a career high 5+ goals in a game-winning performance for them.

The longer it takes Goodwin and his team to realise that Fritsch should be played as an isolated key forward that can kick 50-60 goals a year ala Jack Reiwoldt, the longer we will be a middling finals and mid-table team.

Goodwin badly needs to reinvent how this team is coached and plays otherwise he risks turning into Ross Lyon 2.0 or Ken Hinkley 2.0. I'm willing to bet it won't happen this week and St Kilda paying $3+ is ridiculously good money. An underperforming good team is an easier beat, than an average team in the midst of a slump looking for a win.

Classic Demonland. 

There’s a thread right now in which heaps of posters are bemoaning how much Goodwin has changed us this year and begging us to go back to what we were doing in 2022-23.

Thankfully the ladder isn’t determined by where teams sit in the middle of a round.

A win tomorrow will have us 5th, could have us 4th subject to percentage.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    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.
