News of the year!

With GWS having 2 years at uncontracted players that means everyone whose contract expires prior to and including the end of 2012 is available - that's EVERYONE on our list except Davey and now Frawley.

It would be a major achievement to not lose a player in this process, but some are more important than others and Chip is in my highest group.

Sorry? TWO years at uncontracted players??!

Where did you hear this? That's not correct...

They get to choose ONE uncontracted player from 2 years. Not one from each. Basically it just means you have to sign your better players over the period of time the 2 new clubs will have the chance to recruit them. GC this year (I believe they only get the one year) and GWS the two years following that. Meaning Frawley's out of the woods.

Gee you wouldn't want to be a footy manager/list manager would you?

^That is my understanding.

Yeah I think this is right. But Jon Ralph's article in the HUN today brings about some confusion I think:

But the 21-year-old's contract takes him out of the three-year window which allows Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney to sign uncontracted players.

I think Dappa's summation adds up to that "3 year window"

1 (GC) + 2 (GWS) = 3.

The fire hasn't started......it's well and truly burining now!

Nah, we're just stoking it for now, letting it grow and develop to its own accord.

We'll add the fuel soon enough...then we'll sit back and enjoy the fireworks !

DB and the FD have only just started moulding. Couple more ingredients still to add.

Just remember, there will still be a few hurdles and steep learning curves to come to. But we'll enjoy seeing them tackle it.

Can anyone explain why our best defender didn't line up on either of West Coasts most dangerous forwards(Kennedy/LaCras)at the start of the game yesterday?

because that would of made sense.

I don't think Frawley was actually given a match up until about half way through the third quarter after La Cras had had about his 6th shot on goal. A light bulb must have gone off in the coaches box, "[censored], we may have to get Frawley on this guy!". Unfortunatley, the horse had bolted.

i suppose the coaching staff could throw it back to it being a development year and finding players limitations. i would of thought warnock on kennedy and chip on lecras from the start, but did you see lecras burn chip on the lead in the second half, the boys got some pace.

And they hit him lace out on the chest every time he led.

yeah not enough midfield pressure from us, block up their midfield and the inside forward 50 marks would have been cut in half.

    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

    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
