On the one hand its a start. And it actually addresses something I raised elsewhere.. i.e..who or what the hell are they and more poignantly...where are they. Well this is somehting I suppose. But what ?? Some sort of mish mash press ganged effort. Like some made for TV pop group wil lthey actually really be much of a "team" ? I doubt it. Upside scholarship players get some more exposure and possibly support. Thats good.

I could be forgiven for thinking the AFL are now realising they are wandering around up there without any trousers and just ever so littel starting to paninc. Canberra and Riverina ..exclusive zones... geez..almost drags on the coat-tails of someones thoughts :rolleyes:

What is evidently obvious now is they (AFL ) have no real idea how this will really pan out and its all make it up as you go along stuff.

It wil lbe interesting however to see how the lads fair. If they get knocked senseless from pillar to post each week the league will have to morph its plans again.

I still beleive its only real effect will be to fractionalise an otherwise ambilavent marketplace up there.

Seems as usual teh AFL knows best :huh: and chooses to ignore the advice it sought.

Its a disaster with no particular date...just a likley outcome

I think the AFL do have an idea on how they might want this to pan out. Saying they're making it up as they go along is folly BB. It's just the first step of many. I think the dates will come soon enough.

Mathews (AFL ) calls it ramping it up... I call it maknig it up. lets change draft concesions.. lets ignore coaches...lets throw these lads together who may be nothing to do with a real GWS side..but gives some ponied up impression it all exists.. Bit like the false town in Blazing saddles...and strangely smells a bit like that campfire !!:D

The AFL is praying that GWS emulates GC.... but they are entirely different beasts

I betya there are a truck load of 'as you go' changes to come...lets wait and watch... :rolleyes:

I think the AFL would be very seriously hoping to make Garry Lyon coach of GWS after a year or 2 as development coach

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
