royal blue clash is good enough

I'd like to see a "reverse" jumper, red with a blue yoke (royal or navy).

    We've got the best jumper in the league and the best clash strip in the league. I wouldn't be looking to make any changes.

    If he actually did that he probably should be fired for that then

    Bugger.. had I known it was at Myrtleford today I would have called in a sickie and made the trek down the highway with my young fella.

    Got to squash in Milawa to be told by other locals that training was at Myrtleford.

    Cue jokes about Myrtleford flogging the Dees, avoiding the heartache,... etc,

    I received notice that there were 36 members in postcode 3747 the same day but no notice that training was happening in my backyard.

    And for all those posters who lamented he didn't look happy at the camp and none of his insta posts had him in demon gear, I'd love them to take a big bite form humble pie:  he looks very happy and proud in his demons training gear having fun with teammates.

    Geez Luci, it was just an observation from a couple of track watchers who went out of their way to report back to you guys. The comments made were no different from what other track watchers observe about other players at training in Melbourne. You don't need to shame people because you don't agree with what was said. You weren't there.

    It's going to end with a mid-table finish, then...

    Fair comments, djr.  I wasn't referring to your reports which I enjoyed.  If my comment offended you I apologise. 

    I wasn't referring to observations per se.  It was the conclusions by some re Petracca not posting about the club/teammates on IG, not wearing mfc gear on his IG, caring only about his brand etc etc implying he had 'checked out' or 'didn't care' (paraphrasing).  Those trigger the anti-Trac brigade and the off-season stuff is rehashed. 

    djr, shaming others isn't ever my style - if it was I would have quoted them. 

    I just hope we don't spend the year questioning his commitment/behaviour or defending it.  If that happens each week I'll be the one checking out, of DL.  fwiw, I would feel the same if anyone playing for our beloved demons was discussed that way.

    Trac looks ripped!

    If memory serves, he was leading Chas this year until kneed. Could be his year.

    Certainly hope not. 
    Would like to think they have got that out of their system. 
    Much fitter squad this year than the past couple. Whatever surgeries required have been completed before pre-season started. 
    Along with natural improvement from younger players. 
    I hold high expectations as should they.

    Thanks, Disco 😄

    Demonland, ignore my smartypants reference to the nursery rhyme. I'm with Disco on the expectations (gulp!) 😄

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
