I think we can assuming Frawley plays and we have at least another forward target. Who would you play on Wingard? The kids a freak

I'm not discounting it completely...playing in Darwin oops!, the Alice could produce a slightly more level playing field (excuse the pun), not to mention that had a pretty hard slog against Hawthorn while we had a week's rest. If we don't manage to win, I think it will be a fairly close contest.

Short answer, No.

Long answer, No.

I wouldn't put lefty on it but yeah... Pretty much as above...

If we play in Darwin, we have no hope because Port will be playing in Alice Springs. We will need to be on the same ground if we're going to beat them.

We might well suffer a setback this week.

A very undermanned Hawks.

We'll have to run, and run and run.

That up and down the ground stuff will be a real test.

I'd start with Terlich on him.....hope that our midfield can match it with theirs.

We are IN the game. How great is that! What a change

And we are not even talking of saving ourselves for Collingwood......

We can but we won't.

With all the development we are seeing in our players, I can't see them stopping the 10+ Port midfielders running through the corridor with risk and abandon. Players like Bail, Terlich, Grimes, will be vital in this game.

One of our main strengths is in our marking ability, so with Dawes out this significantly alters the one thing in our favour.

Port by around 40 I reckon.

If we can run for 120 minutes and deny them clean use of the ball we are a chance. If the MFC can stick with them in the first Quarter we will build confidence.

Can we win? Outside Chance.

I certainly want the players to seriously believe they can win if they stick to their specific tasks

Convincing? Nope

Hawks had most of their best players out and it was in Adelaide

We need to make it a scrap, defend really well and understand this isn't Richmond or Carlton skill errors cost goals

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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
