Scully great hands in close along the wing. Shocking free kick against him for holding it.

Dees make turn over... Rivers running on to it.... point! 1st is done.

28 vs 2 points Freo up.

Can we really be this badly coached or is it just first game nerves or travel. The whole idea is to get better, not worse. At this rate, the spoon is ours.

Sick of Miller already.

Watching this quarter was like banging my head against the wall.... painful and pointless.

On the bright side, Scully's hands are bloody amazing!!!

Hahah I have my helmet on already!!!

Look very good, his pace and ability to follow up to the next contest and go again also a highlight.

I've really enjoyed watching footy this weekend, went to Saints vs Pies Friday night with some mates, watch Swans vs Blues and North v Cats today. I am not enjoying this just yet.

long year coming up.

After one quarter of the NAB cup :D

We look cruddy early, but let's not jump the gun.

Whats strauss number?

47

For goodness sake, it's the first quarter of the NAB Cup.

We're not going to start this suicide crap all over again, are we?

We were never going to improve out of sight in one season. It's going to be a slow process, so enjoy the ride and stop with the panic. I almost forgot how painful this place is whenever we play poorly!

What we hope for is continued improvement, we have a lot of kids granted but we just aren't improving. I know it is the first quarter of the NAB cup but we are still playing the same way. No highlights not enough inside 50m our transit from defense into attack is still very very poor. We are playing the biggest front running team in the comp, if we don't show something in the next quarter we might get done by 10 goals.

I think our game plan is keep it in there half and wait until we make a mistake

nothing has seemed to be going right today

47, had a kick coming out of defence mid way through qtr. Nothing on. Rivers was standing in between 3 Dockers pointing to a spot in front of him, Strauss kicked it to Rivers while he was stationary.. turn over...

scully's hands on show. can't get any flow into our game. dockers are rebounding well and preventing us doing the same. brad green looks a little unsure which is unusual. moloney trying hard. davey struggling to get into the game.

morton is trying hard and looking ok.

funnily enough we are getting hands on it at clearances just not hitting targets or finding clear targets upfield.

Come round 1, not sure I want to sit through a 100 point flogging.

relax people, we will have quarters like those this year. young footy side

A lot of nervous boys out there but christ no onw working into space

again we continue to kick to a contest where numbers are against us. We set really poorly

against set plays. Sandilands palmed it in Ballantyne's lap and he's 10metres in the clear.

No passion so far Dean light a fire under these boys.

Just stupid game plan.

We are the same as last year

Pavlich and Balantyne are loving it

Don't go overboard yet my man. Lets see how they run the game out...

Jetta good pick up in the middle... looking for someone by hand.. turn over... Docks having shot on goal. Goal

Healy riding us for terrible skills. They are giving Bennell a touch up according to Healy and Jacko.


Posted

After hearing some nice reports over the summer and hoping for a decent contest tonight

well I guess we are going to battle getting out of the bottom 4

Another goal now and we are 27 points behind this isn't looking good early

Bennell has made some bad mistakes early, loving scullys hands, nothing looking good forward

Some of our more experienced players like Davey, Green, Miller and Rivers are letting us down. We need a lot more out of them.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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
