Can't believe there are a stack of threads here that say we will have 4 wins with an average losing margin of around 40 points, but that our defence will improve!! Does not make sense... I am hoping for 10 wins. the team has been training since october. The Board even Longer.We must improve and not accept loss. Our new Sponsors will weant Good exposure..

And the board is training hard!

We're crap, and thankfully for Bailey and the players, most of us our realists.

4-7 wins is where we will be i'm afraid.

And the reason why most posters say 4 wins instead of 7 is because they would prefer 4 wins to 7 wins as it will get us 2 picks in the top two or three in the last uncompromised draft.

The rules have made us negative...

That will Just give us another crap Sunday fixture in 2010 Hidden away on Foxtel. This club can ill afford that. We are not crap, there is Talent in this side, depends on whether the players are prepared to show it, or continue to make excuses.

And just for fun...

Number of times Bailey will use the word 'competitive' in 2009: once - Colling@#$% were competitive until quater time in the GF

Number of games until Rivers and Moloney both break down with injuries: n/a

Number of weeks until Sylvia makes headlines for being a tool again: he will become a responsible member of society.

Number of weeks suspension served by Spencer for whacking someone on debut: 0 (the umpies will fall in love with him)

Number of "when is Jack Watts going to debut?" threads on Demonland: Won't matter - we won't need him this year.

Ahhh, a man can dream can't he?

This is the most beautiful post I've ever read in my life ... if it comes true I'm almost prepared to die and go to .... hell!

A very entertaining post Jaded.

But considering the inexperience of our developing list and the experimentation DB will employ this year I reckon:

3/4 wins, most losses by 30 points or under, ('competitive'), a couple of close ones and at least 3 thumpings depending on our injury list.

I'm not praying for a bad year, I just think it's reality given where we're at.

The draft picks will be a bonus for a team with that dreaded word 'potential'.

Wow! I had forgotten this one! How things change in 5 months, even in my own head!

I will say one thing though. When i wrote those comments we were without any major sponsors, & i didn't think we could afford the "bottom out"

That's some crystal ball there Bob, I particularly like the "experimentation" part.

Close on the wins, no idea about the win/loss av margins, not bad on Petterd for break out year

Think I was jibbed on Cheney as he was dropped when I did not think he should have been.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
