I think a lot of people need to take off the rose coloured glasses.

At 3 quarter time, it was 50 inside 50s to 20 and 31 scoring shots to 13. That's Neeld'esqe. We were smashed at the centre clearances. We had about 140 less possessions. Sydney lost Reid very early, and were only just going. I think there were absolutely some positive signs, and I am loving our ball movement and improved foot skills. But that was at least an 80 point loss most days.

Neil Craig felt the scoreline flattered us as well.

why don't you take off the terrd coloured glasses you are obviously sporting?

25 i50s in the second half, thats an average number and its against the reigning premiers. 'Neeld-esqe' my arse

We had 41 less disposals, so you messed that up by 99.

to say 'at least 80 points' is the comment of somebody who is so brow-beaten by our recent history that they cannot see what has happened on the field, or somebody who simply has no clue about footy and is looking at a stats sheet.

at least 80 huh.. so instead of 16.20, they should have kicked 26.10

they missed about 5 easy goals, and the umpires cost us at least 3. Ten of their 16 goals came from three short bursts totalling about 15 minutes. We smashed them for the other 105 minutes that a football game is composed of. It is obvious to everyone else that some turnovers and lack of experience allowed them to fully capitilise and hurt us at times.

oh and youve conveniently mentioned reid was off but not Frawley, that's interesting

it would have been nice to have our full forward in too, to balance up with the 202cm convicted cheat wearing a cling-wrap jumper and the emptiest of boofheads I've seen at the other end

Work in progress, a good change from the Neeld game plan, players seem to like to more attacking style, we should have got smashed but we didnt. No point worrying about what could of been, need to deal with what was. Good improvement but as always our turnovers are and centre clearances are killing up big time. Need more grunt and dogged determination in the mid field and need more chasing and tackling. We have all canned players only to retract that sometime later, whether its Garland, Frawley, Watts, Fitzy, etc... We need all of our players on our list trying to better themselves, if we can get over our costly turnovers and improve delivery we will win more games than we loose, maybe not this year but in years to come. I want to be able to be cheering for Dunn, Nicholson, Peterson etc.. because they are capable else they would not be where they are, they are just not producing at the moment, hopefully their time is coming.

I'll never understand why posters use these thread as a chance to have a crack at Joeboy.

I think people should take it as its offered and use it as a platform to discuss player performance on the day - not the poster who offered his take.

Indeed! Although Joeboy might find consolation in the words of Mr O. Wilde, along the lines of "the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about".

I agree with most of it, i'd be seriously considering giving toumpas a run at casey and bringing in one of the players yet to debut to have a look at

I'm realistic , and say it as I see it.

Had Sydney kicked straight we'd have lost by over 100 points

Joeboy, I like and enjoy your clever 3 word comments BUT saying that we would have lost by over 100 points is as LOGICAL as me saying that if we had scored 20 goals straight instead of 13.7 we would have WON!

I don't think Toumpas is struggling that badly. I think the best place for him is at AFL level coming to grips with the pressure and pace of the game.

Davis might get a chance if Frawley doesn't come up, and I'd be thinking maybe of Taggert instead of Nicholson.

I had automatically assumed Frawley would be replaced by Pedersen or Sellar. I much prefer the idea of playing Davis. I've seen what Pedersen and Seller bring and it's nothing special (I"m being overly complimentary there).

And while Nicholson's disposal was poor against the Swans, I'd still keep him in the side to run with Selwood.

    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.
