I would be furious. 2 average players for a high pick. That pick is to be used for real special talent only. I could live with 13 for both. No one else wants Dawes and we seem to be treating him like

Good result for Wellingham joining WCE, a club whose traditional culture should suit him right down to the ground.

bring in the young, and use the next 5 years as a build-scheme again.

Dawes is young enough, but I do also agree that a mix of young and old is pivotal. Just look at our 2000 season - that had a good mix.

Bring in Dawes, Viney and another midfielder who is under the age of 22, and finally, bring Jeff White out of retirement or at least get someone who was as good as he was.

our 2000 spine and midfield was as follows:

Neitz (26), Schwarz (28), White (23) Collins (22) and Ingerson (30).

Our midfield was: Yze (23), Woey (24), Macca (28), Rigoni (26) and Leoncelli (26).

Then you add in Travis Johnstone, Troy Simmons, Jeff Farmer, Stephen Powell, Brad Green and Robo, you can see the team quality already.

A solid mix, we need to replicate this!

Interesting first post.

The 2000 team got belted in the GF and were never, ever, going to be good enough to win a flag.

This line up included some very ordinary footballers and should have been turned over by Daniher the following year. But, ND played all his favourites and never developed the youngsters well enough.

I've moved on.

Is that Stevens from the Saints. He looked very good last season. What do they want for him?

I would absolutely love to get a hold of Jack Steven - I think he'll be a player.

I think rpfc is referring to West Coast's Koby Stevens. I've heard good things about him but haven't really seen much of him.

I think you're right. i got my hopes up too high! I'm tipping we hold pick 4 for a mid in the draft, and use 20 for Dawes (with a few bells and whistles thrown in).

    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

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 13th January 2025

    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

    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. 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
