Great work Deestroy, Geez that's exciting.

A few things i noticed from the videos; Jurrah looked like he was absolutley stuffed in some of those videos (WC game), which I take to mean that he will benefit greatly from a preseason and some extra fitness and strength.

He has the softest hands in the AFL, and his field kicking and decision making kicking into the 50 are just as good if not better than his marking and kicking for goal.

Also Bate looked impressive in a couple of instances, he is just getting to that size that he can break tackles and use his body.

A bit of luck with some injuries and we have 10-12 years of this kind of exciting football to come.

Yeah that passage where Bater broke 2 tackles through the corridor and handed it off was excellent. The way footy should be played, the way we rarely play because no one breaks the lines.

Champion Deestroy...

And for goodness sakes, don't be shy about having nother crack at it over the coming seasons! "land should contribute 5 bucks each to buy you a brand new computer...

Posted

Haha, don't be silly...

10 bucks each, at least :D

It'll be a regular thing, it's very easy to do, I just attempted it at a week when my computer stuffed up and I had no blank DVDs (I went and bought 10 that are for some reason incompatible!) that weren't scratched.

It's funny, watching that video gave me all the jumpiness and excitement I get when the team is up and flying, but when I watched the game at the time I felt sick the whole time. Thanks for the reminder about how footy should make me feel.

And Jurrah. :wub:

Great video DA.

You're going to get questions like this every round for the next ten years DA...

Apart from his other attributes, he has a real football brain. In the last qtr (I think) Bater was running in towards goal from the angle. I think he was considering handing it off to Liam, but Liam pointed towards goal to tell him to keep going.

The over the head goal while sitting of the ground was Jakovich like.

Don't know how many of you have watched/listen to Bails' full press conference after yesterday's game, but he alluded to having only "scratched the surface" with Liam Jurrah. He mentioned some of the amazing things he has done at training have never been seen by the football public.

Exciting times ahead.

How can Matthew Lloyds stupid little back heel win goal of the year and this doesnt even get a goal of the week nomination???

My favorite Jurrah moment from yesterday when he started giving his opponent advice about taking hold of the ball rather than punching, it was very funny.

lol thanks Dappa, just what I needed!

I haven't seen this game myself yet. But when I get my hands on it I'll put the highlights up. Will be a few days at least.

Round 20 nominations have not been listed as yet - only rounds 1 -19 have been done.

Be patient people.

Thats exactly the style I imagined for, & hoped for, from him. He's not what I call quick, but is strong through the torso, so I imagined a couple of years back that ideally that should be his method, breaking tackles to break the lines or kicking goals.

Earlier I was critical of his hard hands & while I believe he doesn't possess the best hands, he's touch has improved with growing confidance & self belief.

I'm rapt with Baters progress over the last 2 months or so, finally stepping up.

Go Bater...

I think he is quick, I remember when he started at Sandy he showed really impressive bursts of speed and I was excited... but somewhere along the line that suddenly stopped and people started lamenting how slow he is. I put it down to either injury (scared to push himself) or laziness.

The last couple of months he's turned on the afterburners in quite a few games and put 5 metres on his opponents easily.

I hope to see more of it.

Go Bater indeed.

I don't recall that but it's possible. When Aaron started bulking up a couple of seasons back, he lost some zip but has since found that speed again.

I don't know that Baters quicker or not but he's attacking the contest a lot harder.

Agree. Even from the start of this season he's grown a leg. The first few rounds he looked really slow. I'm not exactly sure if he had a full pre-season or was a late starter. He appeared short of a run or top heavy and unfit.

I'm not entirely sure, and I'm just guessing but I think he's thinned down as the season has progressed and just gotten fitter and fitter. He's bursts or 'afterburners' around half-forward have really impressed me. Good on him. I'm rapt.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
