Demonland

The Demons had total control of the practice match against the Blues taking out the honours and running out victors in the scorching heat by 38 points at Ikon Park. Max Gawn was outstanding as the Dees had 10 separate goal scorers and took 21 marks inside 50.

I’ve been told Ben Brown could be available by Round 2 (3rd game). I was told two different things about Petty. That he will be back in the next few weeks and that his toe/foot is [censored]. Both credible sources. Take these nuggets with a grain of salt.

I don't believe the Practice Games are counted in the matches he misses. He will miss the first 4 Port Adelaide games of the 2024 Season.

SPP will miss the Dees game unless he appeals.

Timely mini match report from the Blues. Not much Dees info in it though.

They're back. Stand by for the verdict.

And it's been 33 minutes since he last posted that they are still deliberating. They've now been deliberating for over 1 hour and 34 minutes.

It’s only ever a practice game when you lose.

3 goals to Sestan 👍

Think Carlton Reserves Twitter spat the dummy but thank you to them for providing timely score updates even if we had to wait until the Blues goals.

Somebody tell Dees and Carlton Reserves Twitter.

Casey

Blues strike back.

Took a while but we got there.

My read is that the club's TikTok stuff is aimed at a much younger audience than people in their 20s. And that's my point. The socials need to cater to the whole spectrum and not just try, whether successful or not, to capture the Gen Alpha market. Agree re: GWS. But it has to be more than just that. People want genuine information about the footy side of stuff and not just what the players do in the off time (which I agree has place too). There is a way to provide the footy stuff without giving away tactics.
