Well all now the first 1 minutes if Melbourne are going to turn up.

Our bottom 6 players will determine if we win today.

Billings, Laurie, Turner, Howe’s, Chandler & Tom “Free Fallin” Petty.

What, like last week when we looked completely on in the first 10 mins then proceeded to [censored] the bed for the following 3.5 quarters? :P

As mentioned previously I will bail you out WCE -don’t hold back.

Glad Jvr is back. Surely Fritta is due for a bag or Kozzie?

Come on fwds do your job. Same to Mids. Fire up 

I suspect we will be competitive for three quarters and probably beaten in the last.

We have certainly painted ourselves into a corner talking this one up.

Love this place when people come in to offer some insight whether that's through their sources or whatever and get absolutely smashed for passing on information. 

Classic Demonland.

Lol, mate, you do the exact same thing.

True

Nowhere to hide today.

Everyone under the spotlight.

Should be interesting.

Not a gambler but noticed just now Dee's firming still. 

Fascinating

Apparently the club took heed to last weeks issues and the boys are getting a mani and pedi as we speak. 
 

The bookies are worried about being out of pocket after seeing the red and blue nail polish being delivered by Uber. 🤭

Huge game.

With our insipid performance last week we have put ourselves under huge pressure - both in terms of our effort levels being rightfully knocked all week and the need for the four points.

But the pies also desperately need a win to keep in touch with the 8.

We played poorly in our previous losses, but the freo game was different.

Understanably, there has been some strong comments and condemnation on dl this week. 

But i dont take anything from last week in terms of our game plan, sytems, personel and lines. 

Apply that level of effort and any meaningful analysis is superfluous.

But this is goody's 8th season as coach and that was the only time under goody that we appeared to give up. 

They have earned the benefit of the doubt.

But they get that benefit just once. 

I'm super excited. 

I am firmly of the view that in terms of method our plan is to revert to our normal method, with improvements to our turnover game, come the end of the season.

I think we will revert to that model today. Forward half, contest based, win the inside 50 count football (and go back to a more transition based game against the roos).

Basically the same model we employed the last time we played the pies.

And I suspect we have long set ourselves for this game, and planned accordingly in terms of our high performance program.

I hope I'm right. We will know if I am pretty early I reckon. 

Dees by 27.

From our named fwd line of Jvr, Fritta, Petty, Chandler, Kozzie and Anb we have averaged 40 points.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Tmac moved again. Something has to change

Don't share your optimism Binman. Wheels are off for mine. Can't see us kicking a winning score. Pies by 10 goals.

Carlton also 2nd on the ladder playing our exact 2023 game plan but with some better forwards. Just shows it still goes alright. Will be great to see the contest and territory game back today.

If we win by any amount, it will be a win for the ages.

Just listened to Richo on SEN.

He didn’t say this in so many words but it felt as though there’s a concession from the club that we’ve overreacted from our 2 finals (where we dominated in either scoring shots or entries) and that we’re quite frankly struggling to adapt to a game plan focused on connectivity.

Be interesting if we’ve drawn a line in the sand of if we persist with whatever we’re doing.

We are a curious mob, us passionate footy fans

Many dees fans are hoping we go back to a game plan that last year many hated and wanted to see the back of.

This is better than listening to BT.

One of the true highlights of following this club was this blokes post match interview.

Please just play for each other and do this for Gus.

    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
