why?  we've already got the 2 best looking guernseys in the league 😁

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

A beautifully targeted joke...

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.

There was a picture of Trac smiling…. Is he happy now?

He saw a Magpie fly over.

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.

Sources say that when they were up, they were up. 

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.

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!) 😄

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
