Dominates the VFL but lacks a yard above and below the shoulders at Afl

Level and foot skills which the hawks thought they could fix.

Good decision for us to let him go and when you look at Hawthorns defense it's not a horrible pick up from them.

I've always thought he looked like so much like a VFL player that you could spot it from the moon. Credit to him for sticking around at AFL level for so long though.

We made the right call on Cheney and Buckley - tough calls, but right calls.

Buckley is serviceable but cannot kick, whilst Collingwood can to play a player in the mould of Buckley - we can't.

Chris Johnson was another interesting one, I reckon he'd look back with regrets about leaving us.

Hopefully Gysberts isn't one we regret.

The Gys is the only one of the lot we got rid of that i can see coming back and biting us in the a$$. However is Pedders turns out to be a valuable pick up then it will make no difference to me (as long as he doesn't kill us when we play them!).

He was named in their best

I liked him for the way he went it but I don't think he offers anything over Dunn or Joel MacDonald.

Out of interest does anyone know who we got for the pick we got for him?

Troy Davis Pick 51

I wonder what the last two years will do to the Hawks' psyche?

They've got a few too many off field recruits from other battling clubs.

they haven't looked like winning a chook raffle since 2008.

Or Petterd. Already looking like he can be a big contributor for the Tiges off HB this year.

I thought Cheney was okay, and if he was named in the best he obviously wasn't deplorable.

Interesting how the commentators kept pronouncing his name "Chaney".

It's spelt with an "e" and pronounced "Cheeney". I checked with him personally at an MFC function.

Are people mixing the name up with former WA Lib senator, Fred Chaney?

They also seem unable to grasp that Jack TrenGOVE only has one "r" in his name.

Interesting - as so many have been saying over the years "what if x was at Hawthorn, Collingwood etc.. wouldn't they be a lot better."

Hawks also must have thought that they saw something in him and could fix what we couldn't; maybe it wasn't just 'our poor player development' but rather just him?

Seems to have fitted in nicely in the Hawks' defense. Has been there every time the Dockers have gone deep. Cut off a few low shots at goal.

Hawks fans speak highly of him.

    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

    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. 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
