getting slaughtered in midfield no surprise there. jamar has worked tirelessly but their mids are quicker to the contest, he has been leading well to little reward and scrambling at the bottom of packs too so I think jamar has been ok.

terlich starting to get a few touches, reminds me of whopper Walsh, no frills but works hard.

toumpas struggling, made a couple of basic skill errors that qtr and in one play refused to kick in his when he had pressure on his right side, instead turned full circle and turned it over.

That's what these games are for, so that young players can get a feel for it and learn from their mistakes.

I haven't seen any "wrist slitters" yet, but have seen a few (like me) who are disappointed in the two key stats as far as MFC goes, tackles and possessions.

Care much more about those stats than the score today.

i50s are 38-32 our way which is something to take out of it. Clark and Dawes you'd think (hope) would've made a big difference today.

It's all from rebounding though isn't it? We're getting smashed in the clearances.

If anything is brought up about how we "won 2 quarters" etc by the coaching staff I will spew...

That's a fairly visceral reaction. I'd advise against watching any political news without a prescription for Odansetron or Metoclopramide.

again refer to who is missing and comntemplate their addition to the tackling ^_^

what I will give you though is certain players just dont want to ( or seemingly are unable ) to show this element in their game, especially on an ongoing consistent mind set.

how is Col going today lol :unsure:

Getting a little tired of this sort of comment.

Ok, so we lost every game this year, and some by a handsome margin, but at least the tackle count was level.

Jesus christ, when will the pain end??

Perfect practice makes perfect? Cue excuses for Heat/fatigue/games played/players missing/etc etc

I cared about the score today. Glad I did.

Same "key tacklers" as last week, but we did ok in the tackles then...

It's NAB Cup. Doesn't bother me if we win or not, tho wins are nice. Ask last years Grand Finalists about their NAB wins... What I want to see is improvements in our key lacking areas from last year, as that is what will lead us to wins when the real stuff starts.

    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. 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.
