Jerry, I think we have started with Jones, Terlich etc

I like those two, and we may be on the right path there, but neither set a tone or standard for attacking the footy, or a will to not get beaten by your man like Morris does. The guy is an animal.

True - that's because he's hungry!!

I think he got overlooked for 2 or 3 drafts??

Some of our players should take a leaf out of his desperation book.

They hired a coach who was a very good footballer and won flags at 2 clubs

[censored] footballers never make good coaches

Remind me again what Bailey and Neeld did in their playing careers? Nothing thats what

Agree ! We got it wrong not taking hardwick over bailey .... Hindsight is excellent though.

That said I still think our board / administration / football department would have wrecked what hardwick could have done.

Explain how you trade players off for decent picks when no one wants them?

We could have atleast snared a 3rd rounder for Morton and pushed real for a 2nd rounder with Gysberts. I felt we just let them go just to get them out of the club asap.

Take a leaf out of Richmond's book?

Pick Tambling above Buddy?

Pick up Adaam Maric, Miller, etc from us?

Why take a leaf, we've taken the whole goddam tree!

We have a strong history of spuds.

Was based more on recruiting wise. They will be top 8 this year possibly top 6 then push top 4 next year. Mark my words.

Man. they said that about us a couple of years ago.

How about we wait until Richmond actually makes the finals before we declare them the yardstick?

Remind me what sort of players Alan Jeans, Denis Pagan and even Malthouse were?

I'll give you a hint, ordinary as in not that good but put in hard.

There are about 10 flags right there.

Clearly not a well thought out, researched post.

Terlich stood out a couple of times on the members wing for his attack on the ball - very encouraging

I just think since he has taken over he has built up there list really well. Forget about all the past with the Tambliing Franklin blunder ours is just as worse.. but you gotta admire the way Hardwick has built his team. Drafting kids that are physically ready to play and plus recruits that are still young and have made an instant impact.

So what you are saying is that you are willing to give Hardwick 4 years to get it right, but Neeld only 1 and a bit, great

    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

    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
