Well there is one player who I won't have to watch in the red and blue this year.

Universally, everyone's worst on the game day thread.

I would rather play one short, at least that way there are less turnovers.

OMG we have recruited Mark Neeld to play for us!!!!!!!!

Not universally if you consider dream team points from the game. Player X finished just in the top half equal with Jimmy Toumpas and ahead of the co-captain who you sponsor Redleg. And well ahead of the likes of Tom McDonald and Sam Blease not to mention youngsters like Dom Barry and Max King. Contrary to popular misconception, statistics don't lie.

And people who relied on them got us into the trouble we were in.

According to the statistics, we should dump all of those named players and keep X.

Dream team points!!!!!!!!!!!

So that is all you have to hang your hat on WJ

For a x premiership player he should be out leading the band not being to compared kids making the way at the start of their careers.

The guy is so far over the hill he cannot be seen with a telescope.

God deliver us.

OD the pain for the MFC has already started.

We are paying too much for a coach who and win on 50% of games played.

Wait am I too early to start me AFL season drinking to dull the pain?

Funny thing is I don't even own a hat.

Dream team points is one thing and his skills on the ground are another. He set up a couple of goals and didn't constantly turn over the ball as much as a few others and I hope your eyesight improves.

No pain for me so far DF

If anything they are ahead of my expectations.

In the last seven years we have never been remotely close to the cats.

I know they had a number out from their best but so did we.

We are starting 2014 from the pit lane

That said we still have a large number of VFL standard players and Byrnes is the leader of the pack.

We are heading the right way IMO

With the exception of the super claimant WJ I agree with your other comments.

I see improvement already on the twin troughs of 2012 /13.

There are still some better players to come in and as someone else said I get the feeling I will be able to go to most games in 2014 feeling we have a chance.

PS The eye sight is fine particularly when I open both!

No, he doesn't wear 10. The legend goes that he's so ancient that has to wear the Roman numeral on the back of his guernsey.

Coming around WJ ?

I won't stand for lies on this thread. Unless you lease the hats you wear, or borrow them from MRS. WJ, they must be your hats that I have seen you in. BTW, they are pretty ordinary hats.

I have mixed feeling about this.

But after a seven year rebuild I will be satisfied with nothing less then a Premiership or three.

Correct me if I am wrong but is not Byrnes a dual Premiership player?

Well at least one of my teams won a Premiership in 2013.

Nothing better then watching your team win a flag against one of your most hated teams.

Caps are not hats.

Mind you, talking about stuff you borrow from the missus, I must say the dress you wore at lunchtime on Wednesday was quite captivating.

I was doing undercover at the Gat for the Fed Police. Now you have blown it. You may be liable to charges.

BTW I think the off the shoulder look suits me.

Believe it or not most came from my father and are only stored in the grey matter.

They are probably going to fade with me R and B.

Here's one to ponder OD. The saints look ordinary. Now imagine your player X lining up in round 1. He happens to be in the right place at the time at the feet of Hogan and/or Dawes and snags 3 or 4. He'll be in for the next 6 weeks!

    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

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.
