Thanks PStD. The more I hear of Curtin, the more I warm to him.

Yep. We just need for the poker game to play out now.

I like the sound of his attributes, and that he has worked on identified deficiencies, and made solid inroads.

Disappointing result. I reckon their bigger bodies got them over the line, but only just, and despite the fact we were too slow and reactive in the middle two quarters. The umpiring was a disgrace. I won’t say it cost us the game, but you could easily mount an argument that that was the case.

I need a comfortable win today, to (almost) erase the stresses and strains of the ‘uncomfortable’ lead-up to this game. I think we will get it! Dees by around 4 goals. I’d also love for us to keep our amazing sequence of ‘best ever in AFLW history’ performances in tact. Go Dees, you can do it!

I read somewhere that his GF is from Adelaide.

Love the selection, love the experience and IP he will bring from a very successful club and coach!

Magnificent team who play for each other. No show ponies, just damn good players, who always do the team thing! Love their run and carry and their cohesion.

6. Hanks 5. Pearce 4. Zanker 3. Purcell 2. Heath 1. Hore Apologies to most of the rest. It was an outstanding team effort. Many excellent role players, who play their part so well. Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks. Against better opposition we should get a much better gauge on just how good we are. My guess is that we will win both!

Another powerful win by a very powerful team. Loved the way they stood firm, and came to the assistance of their team mates, when the Hawks tried the faux tough stuff. Hanksy, and Pearce the two ‘standouts’ for me, but everyone played their part. A team of outstanding role players.

It’s Prelim time in the AFL, and I’ll be taking a close interest in both matches, but nearly as much interest as I’ll be taking in Melbourne vs Hawthorn in the AFLW. Go Dees!!

I’m thrilled for Adem, and his appointment to Richmond will force a change to our coaching panel, which won’t necessarily be a bad thing.

For a pod where we all remained (understandably) enveloped in a mood melancholy, that was a fantastic effort guys. Great analysis as usual, giving sound cause for hope in 2024, and of course, huge optimism for the 2023 AFLW season. Thanks for all your hard work, which consistently makes the Demonland Pod the best in the business! Go Dees!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kossie: increased consistency and improved discipline.

That’s just beautiful WJ.

Vale ‘Mr Football’. A true legend of the game, and a great citizen to boot. Will never be forgotten. Deserves a State Funeral. ❤️💙

Jeez, there’s a touch of our AFL team in the way we are playing.

Please girls, improve my weekend!

6. May 5. Lever 4. Smith 3. Spargo 2. Hunter 1. Petracca Well done to Tracc for taking out the DPOTY Award for 2023, and many thanks to Andy for all his hard work running the comp.

I’m truly gutted to the core! We can make all the excuses in the world about injuries costing us tonight, but I’m not wearing it. Chronic inaccuracy in front of goal, horrible delivery forward of centre and disgraceful discipline cost us, plain and simple! I’ll be licking my wounds for a while now. I need a cave to sulk in.

We must play like there’s no tomorrow, because there is no ‘tomorrow’. If we’re all switched on to this mindset, and play as a team, we will win. I know we have it in us, we just need to produce it. Dees by 9 pts.

I value my time on Demonland too much to say what I really think about this decision.
