I want every player to have AT LEAST 5 tackles.

I'm sure that a team total of 110 tackles would set some kind of record. No team had more than 75 last weekend.

If we got to 55 we would be making a massive improvement.

How many did the swans have in the gf? You dont need to have football skills to tackle.

Dead set certs now that we've made changes at the top.

Not just for the win this week but the flag.

Will firm if more off field heads roll.

So glad they sacked Schwab.

Worst player in the team.

110, in one of the most incredible tackling displays you are ever likely to see. I'm not sure that Melbourne could match that number this weekend if it was the only thing they tried to do for the entire game.

Tackling IS a football skill. It's one of the hardest and most important skills. I'm sure that Sydney spend a lot of time working on this skill. Union and League teams put a great emphasis on it as well.

That's a fair ask for a team going well let alone us.

I would love this club to come out all guns blazing and win a game

But Sylvia's 9 Possesion 0 contested possessions tells me not to get my hopes up

I am expecting an absolute Shallacking by the Weagles. In excess of 100 points.

I would dearly love to be proved wrong.

If the shallacking occurs and then we get thrashed by GWS the following week, Neeld just has to go.

If they lose the whole bench to injury in the first quarter, the sub hurts himself in the second, the umpiring is outrageously tilted in our favour and we play out of our skins we're a chance.

Typical- Kerr and Le Cras come back this week.

I'm tipping something worse than the port game but not as bad as the Essendon game - 113 point margin.

Neeld will have one last chance to get the boys up v's GWS.

Wonder if they would have played if West Coast were playing Colingwood or Geelong?

We will lose and hopefully by less than 6 goals but I'm not holding my breath, that's only 9 points a quarter difference and it's asking a fair bit.

They're already missing 7 or so Best 22, the midfield is mostly very young, Priddis is slow, Kerr (if he plays) is slow and old.

Cox isn't in great form, Le Cras (if he plays) would still have an ulna or radius which has not properly-knitted.

The Essendon Injury List was practically nil. This is a different ball-game. If the boys can summon a level of gumption from somewhere,

get a start for a change and keep things going they could be a rude and unusual chance.

despite our absolutely loathesome, pathetic performances thus far in season 2013, we're not actually quite as bad as people think.

It was our worst EVER loss at the MCG. We were that bad.

Kerr and Le Cras as ins this week obviously ain't great ...

I'd prefer those ins to natanui and wellingham!

Kerr is a champion and a warrior but is getting on. Lecras will probably do a hammy in the first 10 mins, he's so injury prone

No one's disputing we were that bad in THAT game.

That said, I don't think this is the worst Demons side I've ever seen. Could be wrong though - it's only round three and we're already negative 225 or so after two games.

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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
