Very good point and are very unlikely to pay the payroll tax in 2013 bb

Perhaps 2014?

If you can find them and single them out for me I would appreciate it. I've got a dose of reality for both parties that says we aren't going well because of the past, but looking forward things will be gradually on the up despite false dawns recently.

yeah...id be thinking that..

Depending upon the result of the 3 ring circus we all love as EOS and how our lot shape up ( on paper) there may well be an eyebrow raised from a slumbering long time sufferer. But just as that old yella type of hound pricks its ears it will only get up for something substantial. 14 might well be that time after a years reasonable and satisfactory effor and withot reservation , deal breaker, rise up the ladder.

weve all gone over this chestnut any number of times but if there was ever a sleeping giant come membership of an AFL team , its us.

Runs on the board and we could strike out to 50,000 I have no doubt. With all the ancillary benefits that come of that.

In the mean time We all hang around like the pained waiting in the dentists waiting lounge. :mellow: Filling, extraction, whateever......just make the pain stop !!!

I estimate there are a couple of dozen on Land H_T

as an example Hardnut is convinced all our troubles have been the coach.

I never really expected him too leave

The embarrassment would have been to much for Eddie and company to endure.

Now all he has to do is earn it.

Pressure mounts very quickly if you get paid big Monte Carlo's and play like a teddy bear.

Not sure how the Pies are going to pay everyone in 2013 and beyond.

Gerard Whately declared him gone last night.

Yeah well, some don't want to even contemplate alternate views no matter what is put forward. Set in their ways with the blinkers on.

He's delivered on his promise to shake up the joint and go down a track unfamiliar to many within the melbfc. A professionally run outfit. Rome wasn't built in a day and he needs players to play roles and cattle. Quality cattle which he hasn't got.

Some people talk about wins of the past, some of those players have moved on, different dynamic, different path now. Different coach.

In a month or two's time the playing list will be significantly different to 2012. It's a tough job and initiation for any rookie coach.

I shouldn't have to go on about our midfield, you've read it all before.

is there a problem with our midfield ?? when did this happen ..... Blink and you miss things I tell ya !! :o

We are headed for a very interesting few weeks. When all is said and done, if we could get a couple of good mids in trading, like Wellingham and say Stevens, then draft a few more like JV ,Toumpas and maybe MacRae, we would be far better off than we are currently.

Apparently there is a game on today. Lets get it over with and then we can move on to the important part of this season for us. The other part was pretty sh-thouse.

Bloody amazing

Good ball handling skills and strong on both sides

A lot of forward progress and still an emphasis on containment.

It would appear some overindulgence with complexity to satisfy what could be analysed as a simple outcome.

Has maybe some comparisons with our game.

with the right tools and systems a consistent outcome can be expected. Even some of the randomness still achieves the required result.

There is order in the chaos.

Sorry just diverted into an old obsession.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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
