Pre Season Guide

"This is unlikely to be this year (2013) but it may happen sooner than many observers expect as the club prepares with urgency and tries to fast-track the progress of its youngsters."

and Hogan Happy on the long road. "I just look at what I would be doing if I did not have this opportunity,"

and on a brighter and happier note we have these articles. yes Martha, "Positive Press " ; who would have imagined !! ^_^

I think I like this Ryan a lot more than that other ..." ( insert expletive of choice) " :)

Both readings are reasonable and circumspect. Both highlight we're doing a lot of the right things and that it will just take a bit of time to click. It does raise the prospect however that that "time" mightn't be as long as some might suggest.

I fully expect us to be up and running in 13, just how fast and how far..we all have views but its interesting to note that not all in teh 4th estate are doomsdayers regarding us.

A nice change

.....and Hogan Happy on the long road. "I just look at what I would be doing if I did not have this opportunity,".....

It is a pity that young Garlett doesn't share this attitude :-(((

I took particular notice of Neeld's comment about the list.

"We're not going to shy away and pretend that we don't have a lot of work to do. We certainly do and we are really confident that the group we have got will, over time, deliver sustained success for the club." – coach Mark Neeld.

He's obviously happy with the core of the playing group and assured the recent recruiting has been sound.

It's a big statement to make after only his first season as coach. He has had two draft/trading periods though and now appears confident the boys can start to deliver.

Thanks B59 - some enjoyable reading here...

My son and I can't wait for the new season to start.

Get over the cricket, finish the tennis (yawn) and we're off to game on Feb 22nd...Feb 22nd! How cool is that?

Thanks OD - maybe I came across as too keen to reach the footy date.

Of course I'll enjoy the next seven weeks of my life with my family, my friends and my work.

Happy New Year :)

Ex-Cat brings new ideas to Demons

Seems Byrnes , like a few other older recruits is proving his worth already.

So much is often punted about the game being so much between the ears that its important when players of the ilk of Byrnes come into a line up and are able to impart their history, experience and ideas into a group.

Yes its more of the summer ( no footy ) feel good mushy stuff but I can only imagine this is the very thing Neeld ( and FD ) was hoping for in grabbing the likes of Rodan and Byrnes and say Dawes. Injecting bonefide successful experience into the team. A bit like blood doping in a fashion , but the mental (psyche) side.

    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.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
