Finally the footys back and the main things im looking for tonight is:

1) A decent looking game plan and what see what Neeld has come up with

2) To win both games

3) Grimes to get through and no major injuries to anyone else

4) Clark to do well up foward

5) For us to man up our opposition. It frustrated the hell out of me last year when I looked down the field and see the opposition players loose downfield and they got easy goals.

Considering how wet it is i just want to see commitment at the ball. Team mates creating for each other so options are there.

No injuries.

The heavy ground gives us a chance to win both games.

Wet weather changes things a bit.

1 - Our tall forwards to play crash'n'bash to get the ball on the ground and into the hands of crumbers.

2 - Someone to stand up and play as a crumbing forward.

3 - Serious contested ball.

4 - No injuries.

5 - One win.

Given the conditions and back to back games, I don't think two wins is realistic. Game one will really take it out of us. Nicely set up by the scheduling guys to make sure Brisbane gets the points I guess. We'll see how they really stack up in round 1.

Edit: typos.

1. minimum one win

2. no injuries

3. structure that can hold up under pressure

4. a forward press of our own

5. better skill leve (might be hard with the weather forecast)

After that, echo those that want no injuries.

The conditions have dulled my expectations. Doubt the forward line will be able to set up & function the way Neeld is planning. And if predictions are correct about our new boundary hugging gamestyle are correct, we might get bitten on the bum by the NAB Cup OOB rules

So yeah, no injuries

Looking forward to seeing guys like Magner and Couch. In particular what kind of presence they have around the stoppages.

Could not have summed it up better.

Grimes on the ball.

Have a good look at Magner.

Clark to dominate the game against Brisbane.

No injuries.

A couple of wins.

Football can also be played in wet conditions during the year so this will be a chance to see a Neeld wet game plan. Could be a very interesting night as they would have known of the weather patterns for a while.

Small men crumb the packs. Kicks off the ground.

Posted

1. A forward line

2. Long kicking especially from defense

3. Numbers at the contest

4. 2 wins!

5. Hard bruising football

Posted

1. No injuries

2. Bringing the ball back into play after an opposition behind.

3. Who excels in our midfield (Couch, Magner, Gysberts, Moloney, Grimes, Sylvia, Bail, Petterd, Green, Grimes...)

4. Grimes leadership

5. Our forward line set up.

If anyone complains about our skills tonight i will cry, possibly the worst possible condition to play football in. Incredibly wet and humid.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
