Apologies if it's already been mentioned. I couldn't see a thread to that effect.

Yes, I heard it announced last night. As much as I hate Quarterbrain, I'll make an effort tonight.

Sportsbet will no doubt have odds on how many questions will get asked before one about Jack Watts

Posted (edited)

It will be interesting to see what he's got to say about where he thinks we are at. He seems very disappointed in his press conference on Saturday!

I'd reckon 2 questions before they ask about JW.

Just saw on our list of kids under 50 games they put up...

TrengRove

Warnock...

Seriously, how hard is it to look up something like that?

No its a fair call, so many of our young list are yet to play at all so we must have patience-but it is a balance act as last saturday proved.

The natives in the crowd were definately restless.

Most interesting part about the interview was him listing who has leadership potential at the club. In no particular order he listed Trengove, Scully, Watts, Grimes, Moloney, Davey and Rivers

Said Moloney, Davey and Rivers have really come on as leaders in the last 2 seasons, and that Trengove, Scully, Watts and Grimes all have good leadership backgrounds in their junior years (Scully and Grimes captained Vic Metro, Trengove captained SA and Watts captained his school).

Also said that we'll see Gysberts "a terrific young mid" soon.

I thought that was the best bit of the interview too. To me he seemed lukewarm to the idea of one of the younger guys being captain and couldn't get Brent Moloney's name out fast enough, but I'm probably reading too much in to it.

I think you're right.

I'm not a fan of the "in-between" captain, but based on that I can't see Bailey giving Grimes a captaincy role anytime soon. But on the other hand I also can't see him giving Green the role either.

Twas the bit that made me sit up and take notice.

Dean Bailey doesn't appoint the captain, it's voted on by the full playing group with no Board or Football Department input.

The players vote for a leadership group and the football department chooses the ultimate captain and the structure of the group as far as I know.

Happy to be proven wrong on this though.

IIRC, he actually said Gysberts was an 'outstanding' young mid. On my, albeit very subjective, list I'd have 'outstanding' ahead of 'terrific' - especially from a coach.

    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
