They flogged us in the NAB, so I should hardly be surprised, but even the much maligned Dockers are looking like a pretty good unit.

Good skills in close, hard at it, sustained pressure, etc. You know, all things we might have thought we were going to see at some stage the season but now appears unlikely.

Suban, Mayne, Ballantyne, Hill, Barlow, Ibbotson are a good crop of young players who look like they have improved. Suban in particular looks like he is gooing to a gun for a left footed, hard running Victorian kid. Geez, i hope Blease can play a bit, because i am pretty sure Suban was taken after him and Strauss.

It now only leaves us and the Tigers as the laughing stocks of the AFL.

Right now i do not care what other teams are doing, all our energy should be focused towards the MFC.

They must have a crack against the filth next week.

The negativity around here is emotionally draining.

Freo are not likely to win a flag with the list they currently have, and they won't get a chance to improve that list for a while. So I know where I'd rather be sitting.

We finished on the bottom last season and yet people were expecting miracles over the course of a pre-season. Miracles don't happen in footy.

Sit and wait and stop obsessing and over analysing every move, kick, handball, quarter, game, loss. It's not going to help anyone.

Yeah 10 picks after Strauss, what the heck does that have to do with anything?

What some people call negativity is really just a spade being called a spade.

All you apologists for mediocrity have your heads buried in the sand.

Harden up!

Harden up?

How about harden up and stop bleating after every hard loss..?

We know they will happen; we have been told repeatedly to expect them; we have been warned it will take time and games; so why the proclamations of doom and gloom when what we should reasonably expect actually eventuates..?

There are too many posters keen to pat themselves for doubting Bailey from the start.

Sick self-congratulatory fools.

Exactly right, it is YOU, spirit of Barassi, who needs to harden up, YOU are the one whinging like a kid who just dropped his ice cream. We are the wooden spoon side, we got spanked again by the Hawks. We are a long way back. Some of you seem to revelling in this which is just bizarre

Freo are up 118-61. At the moment we're not last!

Kurt Tippett needs to die. He made us last D:

Fremantle 118

Adelaide 62

Barlow with 151 SuperCoach points, 33 (?) touches. I got him. :D

Me to, what a great week of footy.

Also Strauss has played one game of footy...

and its a lot easier playing in a winning team.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    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.

    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
