Demonland

I think the DNA of all premiership captains was also encoded onto it.

Does this mean we'll see some yellow sherrins with Xs drawn on with a sharpie.

Welcome to Demonland. Good luck. I already have tickets.

Plus there's the all important AFLX tournament on tonight.

I believe the idea was copied from those old European soccer teams style.

These have been our official logos over the years.

Which new recruit are you most excited to see your first glimpse of in the AFLX/JLT? * Harrison Petty has not been named in the AFLX and I'm not sure on his availability for the JLT series.

Agreed. Thread closed.

That's enough. Stay on topic please. Last warning to everyone.

I got the impression that Hunt was limited in training pre-Christmas due to some niggle which may have prevented him from being ready or not being rushed/risked for AFLX.

Squad for those who don't like to read.

In an alternate universe.

You are of course referring to Demons fitness guru Rob Jackson. https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/api/v1/article/amp/afl/afl-poaches-melbourne-fitness-guru-rob-jackson-to-be-umpires-high-performance-manager/news-story/0ec64b645ea6d1c3b71adfbea1c8940a

Any training today?

I won't be worried until he puts contract negotiations on hold.

BACK TO BACK by Ruby Tuesday Despite a slow start that saw it lead by a solitary point at quarter time even though it had first use of a strong breeze at Casey Fields, Melbourne thrashed reigning premier Adelaide by 32 points to retain their unbeaten record in the 2018 AFLW competition. The AFL hierarchy had made clear its edict for higher scoring and the adoption of a a 5-6-5 structure and the Demons responded with four goals against the wind in the second quarter to well and truly stitch up the game. With the lead out to 20 points at the main break, the home side continued to control proceedings and coasted home in the last for back to back victories. In just two matches, they have passed 100 points for the season and gained recognition for their attractive play. The highlight was no doubt the Buddyesque goal from Aliesha Newman who carried the ball from the wing with three bounces evading two opponents and curved the ball through the big sticks to record the early contender for goal of the year. But the adage about a dominant midfield was no more pronounced than in this game with Melbourne’s Karen Paxman, Daisy Pearce and Elise O'Dea setting the tone from the very start with Paxman dictating terms after her injury scare in the opening game when she left the ground before quarter time with back spasms. This week she was leading possession gatherer with 21 disposals despite being afforded the luxury of a rest in the final term with the game well and truly done and dusted. O’Dea and Pearce worked hard all game and were not far behind her in the possession count. The Demons worked harder than the Crows and were well rewarded with the four points for a game in which they held sway across the ground. Lily Mithen continued her impressive start to the season and Bianca Jakobsson again showed that she will be a vaualable addition to the ranks. The team travels interstate for its next clash against the Dockers at Fremantle Oval. Melbourne 1.1.7 5.2.32 7.4.46 8.8.56 Adelaide 1.0.6 2.0.12 3.0.18 4.0.24 Goals Melbourne Cunningham Newman 2 Cranston Hickey L Pearce Scott Adelaide Hewett Holmes McCormick Wallace Best Melbourne Paxman, O'Dea Jakobsson Hore, Mithen D Pearce Adelaide Marinoff Cox Randall Varnhagen Cox Injuries TBA Reports Nil Umpires Gibson McGinness Heffernan Official crowd 3,800 at Casey Fields
