Not worth the read. More dribble.

So you have no interest at all that the article covers what has been debated in about 6 separate threads on Demonland?

No interest in hearing a non-posters opinion on topics covered on Demonland?

And, more surpisingly, no opinion other than to dismiss it as dribble?

Wow.

I actually think it's an excellent article and Schwass raises a number of salient points. A man of Pagan's experience and qualifications should be an absolute must on a coaching selection panel, and his point about making Trengove Captain next year (and the reasoning for it)is not only interesting but valid.

Agree WD I think it is the best article I have read about the Dees this year.

Also the Author knows a bit about what he is talking about.

Unlike a lot of the media who are making comment.

He has been on the inside in similar circumstances.

Good piece and I agree with most of it. Only thing I disagree with is putting Ricky Bobby up for trade. Dees need to keep him, is a valuable part of our forward line and when key position players develop he will reap the benefits of being a 3-4 target.

A good article imo, even though I don't agree with all of it. Well worth the read.

Good article, well worth the read. Sounds to me that Dennis would make a good Director of coaching, we have all seen that Geelong has benifited haveing Neil Balm all be it as footy manager being the hard arse who is the face of the tough decisions.

Not a whole to argue with that is there. :huh:

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion its time to stop mucking around. The new coach will need to drag a few screaming into the real world...and dispense a few at the same time.

When you want Roses to be healthy and bllom theres some serious pruning to be done. Its going to be interesting. I dont think Mick is in the market for 2012.

Great suggestion to bring Pagan on board to help select someone.

Well written & all should be taken on board...all players are on notice after last week.

I could not agree more with that article no grudges, no rhetoric, just the truth plain and simple.

If I could write an article for the papers that would be it.

I too reckon that was a really good article, one of the best I've read about us all year. I would question trading Ricky Petterd, Jamie Bennell and maybe Joel Mac, but other than that there is pretty much nothing else there I could disagree with.

I'd be happy to see Joel Mac stay but it's a disaster having both he and Warnock in the same backline. Bennell is a player that will give you about 15 minutes a game and that's it, he looks very good for that 15 minutes but that just isn't enough.

Ricky Petterd or Colin Sylvia are pretty much the same type to me keep one and let the other go or keep one as a spare. Ricky does show a bit more aggro than Colin but Colin is a better kick.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
