I wouldn’t get carried away by 2-0. Our opposition has been ordinary. Still, a win’s a win and two wins are two out of two which is a 100% record. However, North Melbourne and Fremantle appear to be the front runners and the big tests are yet to come.

I tend to agree. in light of recent events, the longest thread on Demonland should be restored to its rightful place in our media. Unfortunately, that place was filled very quickly after events in Washington a month ago, so for the time being, it’s returning to our General Board. Apologies to those who might be offended by the contents of this thread.

That Will Bravo might sound like a West Indian cricketer but in fact he apparently goes well at football. He was added to the train on playing list at Hawthorn as a potential supplemental draftee after Tom Scully’s recent retirement announcement.

I know it’s belated but we can add Ben Brown to the list. It was also a “minor procedure” so probably - 4 to 6 weeks.

I also echo my thanks and appreciation to our track watchers. I’m interested in Luke Jackson’s position this year. Will it be as the back up ruck for Max, a key forward or as a wingman or even a midfielder?

He had the surgery this morning. Knee surgery for new Demon Ben Brown

Sarcasm?

And that’s all she wrote. Dees 56 Suns 35. Now get me outta here.

Not much scoring. The sting’s gone out of the game.

Perkins gets her second - Suns trail by 21 points at three quarter time.

That’s Hore’s third - lead now 28 points.

Reply from the Suns. We lead 49 to 27.

First blood to the Dees - Petrevski.

At this stage of proceedings, Karen Paxman (sponsored by Demonland) has my three votes. Her attack on the ball is ferocious and she’s a constant avenue of supply to the forwards. I’m really impressed by the standard of the game. The ground is in magnificent shape (especially in light of the number of games played here last year), the surface is like carpet, there’s a light breeze and despite the humidity, conditions are great. The marking and kicking are so much better than in the first couple of seasons. Lily Mithen is also up there with Tyla Hanks and Hore and Cunningham are dangerous up forward. Daisy has been hovering around not doing all that much but directing proceedings with her experience. There are very few Demon fans here so I’m quiet at the moment.

Hore gets slung around the neck and with the resultant free goals on the siren. Melbourne 7.1.43 to Gold Coast 3.3.21 They should travel up in game day more often.

A nice piece of play by the Suns goes unrewarded when Perkins misses from straight in front. Then the Demons get a point.

Another 50metre penalty and goal to Heath puts up 11 points up. Then a free to Cunningham for her second.

My girl Petrevski #31 goals - she’s been playing well. Dees in front!

Zanker marks and slots it through.

It’s 29degrees and humid. The team flew up this morning. As the game goes on they’ll feel it. Dejavu?

Strong mark in front to Perkins puts the Suns up by 7 points at the first break.

Goals to Hore and Cunningham (from a 50m penalty) level things up. Suns get a point to take a point lead.

GCS much cleaner with the footy early in the game. They have the first two goals.
