Obviously it's now a massive question as to who picks up Pendles. Without Swan and Thomas, if someone can keep him relatively quiet I think it will greatly increase our chances.

I don't think Jones would be a bad match up all.

Posted

Beams out also.

would be handy to have Flash back this weekend considering how well he played against them last year, but I'm loving our current midfield line up. I reckon we are a chance. I'll be there nevertheless.

I think Melbourne will win but I always do, the margin is of no consequence winning by a point would do.

Must have been one of the few who did last week I got 8 winners plus a bonus point on the Demonland tipping.

Last year the Dees drew and lost by a point in their two games with the eventual Premiers. Liam Jurrah did not play in either game. Surely it's time to let him off the leash and let him go for his marks and he could help get the Dees across the line on monday.

This is an interesting point. Did Jurrah play against the Pies in 2009?

Given that we kind of poached him from Collingwood it would be great to see him rub salt in the wounds with a 5-6 goal haul. Could be the difference

I'm coming from Canberra, as I do every year. Love it!

Ditto!!

Weather forecast for Monday is mostly sunny with a minimum of 8 & a maximum of 15 - chance of rain 30%. I reckon if this forecast remains accurate, we will get around 65,000 to 75,000 at the G.

Regarding the game, unfortunately my confidence with a win is not very high. I see a resemblance to the Dorks game, competitive until half time, then it will slip from us. Filth by 45 points.

This game will be our Waterloo.

The second blinder for the inform fab 4, Gyberts,Mckenzie,Scully and Trengove.

Watts and Jurrah to star.

Moloney,Sylvia and Jones to crunch bodies.

Frawley and Rivers to Punch everything outta sight.

and a few surprises as well, Howe to kick 4.

I reckon they will bust a gut to win this,itll be the day we arrive as a side.

Dees by 21points!

This will be Jurrahs first game against Collingwood.

I've got a good feeling about Watts and Jurrah this week :) .

According to the Herald Sun today Melbourne Coach Dean Bailey last night was buoyed by the Pies midfield woes

No Swan, No Thomas and no Beams-- its a oppurtunity for us Bailey said on radio."

It certainly is a oppurtunity, the only question is, are we now up to grabb that oppurtunity and make the most of it

Based on last weeks performence one would be tempted to say we would , but ............

Posted

I get more worried without them there as they will try to lift to replace them. Nonetheless it is a great oppurtunity if we bring our "A" game. With Watson and Hocking missing last week i thought our midfield would run too deep and would trouble them and turned out true. Another game under Scully and Trengoves belt is surely going to help. Step up Dees!

Surely you wouldn't rather them having their best side..?

That's like saying that we'd rather have all of Jamar, Garland, Grimes, Trengove and Scully out (as we did a few weeks back) because the other guys are trying to lift to replace them.

Posted

With no Swan, Thomas, Jolly and Beams, we have a good chance. Of course, things would be easier if we had Jamar, Grimes, Garland, Bail, Tapscott and an in-form Davey.

I reckon they'll beat us by about four goals, but I can see us being in the contest until at least three quarter time. I fear that even if we are in front at the final change, they will smash us to pieces in the fourth.

A Draw for mine also.

not to mention Sylvia and Bartram either out or underdone

    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

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
