I know the game was essentially wrapped up early in the final quarter when we pushed the lead out to 44 points, but is it a worry that everything seemed to fall apart once Max was rested? We conceded the last four goals, and during that period our skills, execution, and overall system completely broke down. It really took the shine off what should have been a comfortable and enjoyable win especially given the season we've had so far. And let’s not forget, percentage could matter. I know it might sound like nitpicking, but that last quarter left a sour taste.

hahahahaha I still had to watch it. 😭

Love the new look and the new Dark Mode!!

With Lever going off with an ankle injury and perhaps destined for a stint on the sidelines and May's return indeterminate are we cooked in defence?

JVR’s early injury quickly exposed our lack of depth in the forward line, as well as the flow-on effect it had on our ability to provide in-game ruck support for Max without compromising our tall forward stocks. Hopefully, his back spasms were just a one-off rather than a sign of a more significant issue that could sideline him for an extended period. If Roo isn’t available for Round 1, what do you think the make up of our Forward line will look like?

Great to have you guys back!!! Although he may not have been as prolific as fellow draftee Langford, I was really impressed with Xavier Lindsey today. Since I'm based interstate and can’t make it to training, I want to thank all the Demonland Trackwatchers for vividly capturing the preseason sessions. Your updates make me feel like I’m right there at Gosch's Paddock. Given that Lindsay started his preseason late due to post-season knee surgery, do you think he might be ready to play in round 1 or early in the season, or should we expect him later on?

You say that with such venom as if Demonland posters are personally responsible for him stepping down or even being in the position that he would have to step down. Like random anonymously people on a forum have so much power. Stop making a fool of yourself.

He's the only person at the club who has shown any competent leadership in the last 20 odd days and just coming off his 7th All Australian and is our only living Premiership Captain. What an insulting and disrespectful thread to start. When Max says it's time. It's time. Double Facepalm.

The MFC:

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for consistently showing up week after week to produce the podcast this season. It’s clear that this year has been incredibly challenging for all of us, and I sense that the difficulties may not be over yet, with the offseason likely to bring its own set of challenges. Amidst the frustration and disappointment of what has been a tough season, your podcast has been a breath of fresh air. It has provided much-needed balance and perspective, helping to cut through the doom and gloom that has surrounded our club. Your insights and discussions have offered some solace during these trying times. I truly hope that you’ll continue to be a steady presence even after Trade Week, just in case we need to come together for an emergency session to, dare I say, exorcise whatever demons may still be haunting our club. Your voices have become an important part of navigating the highs and lows, and I, for one, would appreciate having you around as we brace for whatever comes next. Now back to this current game; Given the conditions on the night do you think losing Lever to illness pre-game had any baring on proceedings?

Forward line was on song today. 10 goals from the 3 big guys. Disco 4 and 3 apiece from Rooey and Petts. Disco has a lovely pair of dukes. Clunks everything.

If Jack left us it would be more damning than if Trac left (chasing crowds and glory) or Clarry left (pushed out or wanting/needing change).

If you thought the Freo loss was bad then Friday night is going to be an ugly [censored] show.

Not many times I have walked away from a win feeling like it was a loss.
