Demonland

Open training is this morning at 9:30am. We'd appreciate any reports from those attending.

I break out in hives when I see a Hankook Tyre.

I was a big fan of vandenBerg when he was fit. He always bobbed up for a couple of goals. It's going to be tough to sneak back into the team but if he can keep fit and find his way in through form at Casey then I think he will offer something. Having said that another injury would probably spell the end of his career. I hope he can stay fit.

Considering the works on my train line I might be walking the whole way to the 'G. You really should get one of these.

Interesting re: flashing lights. Non emergency service flashing lights are yellow ie: RACV etc West Coast - blue and yellow. Coincidence?

If we are just talking West Coast then yes a break down to their Home vs Away differential would be interesting.

Good post. Congratulations on your 3000th post. I look forward to your 5000th post.

Who's walking to the 'G?

Great. We're in a no win situation again. Win and they'll say we're no good because we've beaten another injury ravaged team. Lose and they'll say we're no good because we lost to an injury ravaged team. I'll still happily bank 4 points.

4. Technically Gaff is a Demon. Too soon?

Breaking down home and away only really works for the interstate teams. It does not work for games we play away in Victoria particularly in this era where there are no crowd advantages at the neutral venues.

I get more frustrated with the non-calls especially when the opposition are getting frees for the same things that we are not getting them for.

I like this theory and would like some research done into our free kick differential this year wearing the disco blue jumper vs the traditional kit. @Supermercado do you have any insight to provide here?

Interesting but it has not helped us.

I'm not sure what Rounds the 2018 stats include.

I think a lot of the media pundits are picking Dusty based on 2017 form.

? I built a statue of Kane Cornes when he said we'd finish 1st that I destroyed when he failed to pick some Dees in his Team of the Week after the Adelaide game.

"They have a mindless existence: you starve them and put them in front of a smell and they move towards it." Razor Ray had a keen sense of smell on the weekend and the Bulldog players must have stunk.

We will be interviewing Paul Roos on the next Demonland Podcast on Wednesday 13 June @ 8:30pm The following week we will be interviewing Brad Green on Wednesday 20 June @ 8:30pm If you have any questions for either of these two greats of the club please post them here.

Perhaps this is because they don't get the same size crowds or because there weren't as competitive for some of those years. Who knows how the minds of maggots work.

I would imagine the results would be even more skewed being the ref/ump on the spot live with a deafening home crowd.
