Everyone RELAX.

like many of you i made the trip down to the fields on saturday, and watched what was essentially an exhibition match. I was very impressed with what i saw both on and off the field, with the way the day was organized, and also the amount of people that made the trip. I thought i saw more people there on sat than i did at Dees, vs Kangas last year.

But that is not my point.

My point is that i am reading a few posts by others on this forum singling out players like Maric, Dunn and Jetta, about how they're not going to make it as players, or they played atrocious, or "his kicking was off i heard he was a great kick", or "Trengove is the new Robert Flower," or "why didn't scully get picked at NO.2?"

You can NOT base your opinion on a player, playing at AFL level, on an exhibition match. A few people have forgotten that Melbourne played themselves on saturday, and that if you take the good players out of both teams... you have a pretty healthy looking team.

Plus there was more than a couple players who play at casey, were included in this game.

I would just like to call to attention, that if you saw something you liked or something you didn't like on saturday, please realize that it was just a day, not a serious competitive football match, and weather you want to praise Jack Trengove for being the "next BIG thing" or bash Juice Newton for "playing below expectation".

I'm not wanting people to stop voicing their opinions, i just want people to panic less, and remember that we will still prob not finish top 8 this year.

I agree with what you are saying but it is a case of "nice in theory but I don't like the chances of it happening". People are blowing off steam waiting for the season so they can see if the kids we collected with so much pain are worth it or if we are going to be another Richmond with yet another rebuild needed.

I myself go from highs to lows on the daily up dates no matter how hard I try to keep a clear head. It should calm down a bit in the next couple of weeks as we see where we really are.

Liam Jurrah will be kicking goals for us this coming september.

That is my early prediction.

I have seen very little over reaction, besides someone saying of of the new recruits will not make it, people went and saw a match and made observastions on what they saw. Everyone sees the same thing differently. Time will tell, all you can do is make observations on what is put before you.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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.
