So with the Hawks handing out the first legitimate thrashing of the year to Richmond last night I have to ask the big questions.

Are the Hawks really that good?

Are Richmond really that bad?

Is it a little of both?

I thought the Hawks were OK and Richmond was woeful. Hawthorn made a lot of turnover errors but Richmond would just give it straight back to them. Granted it is only Feb but I can't see (say) Geelong or StKilda giving them second chances if they do that in the home and away.

On the bright side my $100 bet on us finishing higher than Richmond is looking better and better.

Anyone know of a live stream address for this arvo's game by the way (mac based)

Richmond...same same. Hawthorn will be up there, but we will give them hell in Round 1

Hawthorn will be up there after we give them an early wake up call in Round 1, as they experience a 9 point loss :)

As expected, the Tiges are poor, BUT, have more young talent than I realised. Obviously Cotchin & Vickery are there with Martin showing something, but I also like Collins & add some other regulars& they have the frame work to build on.

Let me take you back to the end of the season last year, when i made a bet with a mate of mine, that i would run 1km, in the buff, on nepean hwy that we would finish higher than Richmond. Looking good

i live near nepean Hwy so i look forward to that piece of lunacy-but i think you are safe, Richmond have been rebuilding since 1983.

The foundations keep falling over!!

I think they'll fall over at either end of the ground for a while yet. They have a raft of smallish zippy midfielders, but few real quality talls to prop them up.

Hawthorn was quite poor in some of their skills. Against a better side, they wouldn't have looked so flash.

Richmond were just shocking.

Thursfield, McGuane, Jackson, Foley, Cousins, Moore and some newbies. Not a hell of a lot, really.

    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
