I heard Nathan Grima speaking on tv and he was stressing how important it is to have a settled team from week to week. I find it amazing that one club can go week in week out without any major changes to the line up and others like us who have two or three compulsory changes every week.

It's because Neeld wants to see how a lot of our players are on game day and how they perform. Nth Melbourne have

had the same coach for 3 or 4 years he knows what is his best team and they have been working on that the last few years.

I'm sure next season we will see a lot less changes per week compared to this year.

Hmm, with no Frawley you would think Sellar would have to go back. With no Martin/Fitz wonder who can play that forward/ruck role.

I don't know that it will matter a great deal who fills the forward role as I expect that our backs will be doing the bulk of the work tomorrow, as sad as that is.

What are we doing????

All our good players are out,

WATTS has the longest twisted ankle in history.

JAMAR a seven week calf strain.

MARTIN runs out a game then all of a sudden has an injury

And FRAWLEY get an injury last minute.

They are the suss ones not to mention long term injuries to CLARKE etc

We have 17 on the injury list that is almost 40% of our list. Something stinks and i want to know what. Us members need to hear the truth.

Chill, it's planning for next year. If someone has a concern what do we gain by putting them in under duress? Watts I agree with your frustration, is it up to 4 weeks? I would like to see him in because he will be better for the experience but I guess the coaching staff just want to may sure our key players are good to go over the Pre-season.

Surely last throw of the dice for Bate. Make him a lead up forward, Rivers to defense (where he bloody well should be IMO).

Why are injuries always some big conspiracy theory instead of just players hurting themselves?

Half the injured players on our list have done serious unavoidable injuries, not stuff like hammys that have plagued Essendon

So you reckon that all or most of our injuries are suspect and perhaps we're tanking; or is it even more sinister than that?

Come round to my place, I've got some tin foil hats and we can sit in the "special room" and talk about it.

I don't even feel like turning up tomorrow anymore......

I've been invited to a lunch tomorrow and if I hadn't accepted a couple of weeks ago I'd be thinking twice.

Bring on October.

1st and 2nd picks this year must be real gems.

Let's see who wins gold this week in The Tank.

GWS and GCS both have 6 outs.

It's a real race to the bottom this year.

Go Dees... Pathetic!

Think Williams, Sheehan and Cook will be getting games by default soon.

Id like to see this kid get a game, he's going to be something else.

    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.
