I used to have one of those, bit of paper.

But Im not sure about it as I keep hearing voices that tell me otherwise . ^_^

I have a piece of red and blue plastic with my name on it that reminds me each week that I am insane ... :-)

No, it needs to be at the top of the list.

At least some good news, Jack Watts says he wants to stay a Demon and has instructed his manager to start discussions with us. Hopefully he re signs soon and then we can move on to some others we want to keep.

Some other good news would be the retirement of Byrnes and maybe Pedersen.

How bad was Pederson? He is a good size would love to see him lay a few good knocks but he is soft as butter. I'd put Byrnes and keep him in a forward pocket (if they insist on playing him that is)

Pedersen is not in our best 28-30 and makes poor decisions. He is also not a very hard at it footballer. IMO he is a VFL footballer.

I would never play Byrnes again. I watched him for a lot of the game. He doesn't even try and spoil if the kick is not directly to him. He is slow. He turned it over yesterday on nearly every possession he had. Reluctantly I would play him at Casey. As one of the other club's recruiters said, " he was struggling in the VFL last year".

If you add Gillies we have recruited a trio of guys that are clearly way below AFL standard.

The item that beggars belief is we swapped Gysberts for Pedersen and gave him a three year deal.

I would prefer to play any kid than this trio they are bloody useless.

Locked to the top of the first page (like the Code of Conduct thread).

I think we certainly deserve that.

Just finished reading the book on Black Caviar by Gerard Whately, a very good read.

Today I was in Chadstone shopping centre in the book shop and bought two books. One was the Master, the story of Bart Cummings, by the the greatest racing writer in the world, Les Carlyon. The second was a bit smaller and is called Life is Sport and Sport is Life, by Tami and Paul Roos. Thought it might be interesting.

Think I can sum it up pretty easily as follows, it is a book about a mare that won all her 25 starts and is the best sprinter, give or take Vain, that we have ever seen.

Paul Roos wrote a book?

Saw film of Crowley barrelling into Boomer and sending him sprawling before the game started. Umpire right there tell Crowley to calm down and no free kick. Commentators furious as no free kick paid.

Then I contrast that with the soft bump on Jones of the Saints, by Dunn, when Garland is about to kick out and reversal and Nick gets a free from 10 metres out.

That is just so inconsistent. Amazing how weak sides cop that so often.

There were four pathetic free goals given to the Saints, all controversial, yet not one to us. Funny that.

    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
