Hey y'all, long time lurker, first time poster, 48 year old sufferer!

Can anyone give me any (rational) hope that we may win one of our next 6 games?

Our opponents: Saints, Blues, Bombers, Pies, Dockers, Tigers.

Maybe a spirited showing v Pies?

Dockers at the G? Perhaps.

I'm a drowning man clutching at straws here.

It could be a long 6 weeks.

Agree mate, still a bit of deadwood lying around, Lynden Dumb, Bate for starters, as said before youngsters are pretty good, show a bit of promise, 23 and older are really where the problem lies.

Mate, would luv us to pinch one, but gotta be honest, cant see us winning any of those six, especially given the injury list. Here I was thinking we were starting to bat a bit deeper but we still lack a bit of cattle.

We will lose next week.

After that, the next five are at the 'G, where we always play better. Carlton is over-rated and thus beatable, we play well against Essendon but they're a better side this year, not a chance against Collingwood, more than a chance against Freo and Richmond.

If over the next few weeks we get some of Scully, McKenzie, Trengove, Bail and Jamar back that will help too, as we'll be able to cut players like Dunn, Bennell, Jetta and Newton who are not best 22 material. If we can also get back to putting in a half-decent effort and extracting some life from our senior players, we are a chance to win three of them (Carlton, Fremantle and Richmond).

It goes without saying that if we don't put the effort in the results won't come.

It's our toughest stretch all year. The next 6 games determine whether or not we will be playing finals.

And we won't be.

St. Kilda will be absolutely licking their lips at the thought that we are going to resurrect their season....10 goal loss easy. We are rubbish, and I soooo wish it wasn't so.

We do bat alot deeper but we are missing 5 of our best 22 (Jamar, Grimes, Trengove, Scully, McKenzie) and we have have 5 of our next best 10 out of form (Green, Davey, Frawley, Jurrah and Morton) are disgustingly out of form. In a team of 22 if half are out or poor, you're simply not going to win games regardless of depth. Australian cricket team anyone?

Frustrating thing is that we have a couple of Friday night matches coming up, matches that are great to showcase your talent to the AFL. Not looking good.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
