Demonland

May seem like a stupid question but will missing the finals in 2018 be considered a failure? We will be discussing this on tonight's Demonland Podcast LIVE at 8:30pm - http://demonland.com/podcast

From the Preseason Training thread: No TMac. Oliver in the rehab group? (where is the sky is falling emoticon?)

Please keep on topic and only discuss injuries in this thread.

Join us LIVE tonight (14/3) for the Demonland Podcast at 8:30pm Listen and Chat LIVE: http://demonland.com/podcast Call: 03 9016 3666 Skype: Demonland31 We'll be discussing JLT #2, our growing injury list, Round 1 and much, much more.

Of course he'll play. He has super human recuperative powers. This is the same guy that miraculously recovered from a severe concussion after that Trengove tackle and kicked 6 goals the next week.

No sure how we can test that out. It's not like Viney can scream at his hammy. * * I am aware that Viney is not playing Round 1.

If this was a Melbourne player he'd be out for 6 weeks. Geelong are confident he will play in 11 days.

Like getting a foot in the Friday night TV market we're going to have to put runs on the board for people to take us seriously and that includes fans. Speaking from experience it's hard to get young ones on board to go to the footy when you've had a decade like we've had. I still buy my little ones a membership because I can afford it but I'm sure that there are many who can't or won't buy a membership for a kid that won't go to the footy. Hopefully some sustained success will rebuild the membership but the results have to happen first.

Surprisingly we've had worse.

Looking forward to your extremely detailed report.

That was a practice match. I'm not so sure we will leave just Pedo as the only big man in the forward for too long in the real thing.

It's not even accurate. I would love to be Top 4 after 10 rounds.

I'd be out of breath from pacing back and forth. Being a Melbourne fan is not good for the ticker despite the added exercise from the pacing. Can't we just destroy teams every week so I can enjoy the game. Is that too much to ask.

No surprises here.

I don't have any problem with pundits not trusting us. Heck I can't trust us at times. Just look at the JLT 2 3rd Quarter. The problem I have with some media pundits is their blatant bias towards their teams. If you are going into the media then you have to take off your [censored] scarf. That goes for being pro-Demon as well if they existed.

I hate to break it to you but I'll be at the game too (without my equipment). Although I could stream live from my phone but I'd be too nervous. Perhaps I'll do the last quarter when we're 48 points up at 3/4 quarter time. Oops we've blown lead like that in the past.

You won't need to listen to him as you will be at the game.

I'm sure @Whispering_Jack agrees with this.

He got the call up last year when Hoges was suspended against the Cats. Didn't have a lot of the footy but had more than Weids who was in the same team. Got injured 2 weeks later and did not return to the team.

This injury to TMac is a worrying considering the limited preseasons the Weid and T Smith have had. Also puts the kibosh on Hogan having stints in the middle. Pedo would be a lock for Round 1 now.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he wrote that before Greene re-signed only because he picked us as a Top 4 team.
