Still can't work out how Jimmy T is not back in the side, after his performances with Casey.

He still needs to improve his contested ball and tackling. Roos will have him working on this side of his game, he is a young player, plenty of time for him to improve at Casey. There was only 1 vacancy in the firsts and Jetta had earned that spot with his performances over many weeks. Suddenly we are building a culture where players aren't gifted easy games in the firsts, they have to earn them over and over again at Casey.

I can see the benefit of that policy. 30 plus performances in consecutive games would generally get you a gig. Maybe that is a good thing.

If he does it again this week and there is a spot for him in the seniors I am sure he will be considered next week. Roos has stopped the revolving doors and is trying to develop a team that is not scared that if they stuff up a couple of things they won't automatically be dropped.

I have faith in Roos and his men to turn us around. I think it would be helpful on a few fronts if Roos announced he was with us for at least the full 3 years and would then consider the position after that.

Just listened to Malthouse. He is cooked, without any shadow of a doubt.

If I look for a positive, it is probably that under Roos we are learning to stay in the game. Last year that would have been a 12-15 goal defeat.

We are working on the Sydney style, of defence first and it is reducing the losing margins and giving us some chance to still win games.

Can't speak for DC but I suspect Biffen has been heavily embroiled in his drug business. As for Fl og - he's probably forgotten his single digit password and unable to post.

Check those cattle Biff!! If their teats look bruised and roughly fondled they probably belong to Jazza.

You really do post some of the breast posts.

They make boobs of some posters.

Perhaps we could become bosom buddies RL!

If my information is correct then about a dozen Essendon players will be growing voluptuous breasts in the very near future. No idea how or what's making that happen.

Maybe they're onto that colostrum drug! Jazza swears by it.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
