1. Get more of a look at Blease and Tapscott. Can even add Strauss (or Nicholson) if you like.

2. More senior time for Max Gawn

3. Midfield time for Dean Kent

4. Aiden Riley. The more match fitness and experience the better for this guy

5. Jesse Hogan - if it doesn't happen then that's too bad. But if we get to see him play that's great!

6. Hawthorn - can we rattle some of those f#ckers and disrupt their finals

7. North - see Hawthorn, oh and maybe we could beat them, I dare to dream

8. West Coast - we've had decent road form in SA, can we translate that to WA? New stadium is 4 years away!

9. Etihad - 2 chances to break the hoodoo

10. Some more Salem and JKH magic

I want to see 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

I expect to see 1, 4, 10.

I fear we may only see 1.

No wish to see Nicholson in but a glimpse of Toumpas would be nice.

I'd like to see Grimes play medium forward/lead up.

Give Tapscott more responsibility behind the ball.

And yes, I know they are not direct swaps.

Posted

I want to see

1. Three wins

2. Ok, two wins

3. Alright... One win

4. Hogan play a game or two at AFL level.

5. More of Blease and Tappy although I don't hold any hope, give them a few weeks and then if no good delist.

6. Roos commit to a third year as coach with another 3 years running the coaching/football department

7. Essendon get banned.

8. Chip realise no one will pay him more than 400k for 3 years and then re sign with us.

9. Salem to tear a game apart

10. Watts lose his shite and go Hulk on someone! Ha ha ha ha

Yesterday has filled me with a bit of confidence, Kent's burst out of midfield and handball to Tyson (although nearly botched) was impressive. Whether Hogan get's to step on the field is an unknown, but I would like to see all these guys in the list to close our season.

Agree, but pushing it I think, he's not even training fully at the moment.

Posted

1. Win at Etihad

2. Beat GWS

3. 1+2 = Win a home game (haven't won a home game this year)

4. Jones to go forward temporarily

5. Toumpas

6. Hogan

7. A win by 5+ goals

8. A better performance against the Roos

9. A tough outing against the Hawks

10. A few more Tyson BOG


Posted

As well as various listed above, I'd like to see:

  • someone kick five goals in a game
  • the team score 120 points or more in a game
  • Dom Tyson, Christian Salem, Josh Kelly and whoever GWS picked (or traded for) with selection 20 in the draft all play in the same game
Posted (edited)

I want to see:

  • GRRM recognize how wrong he was about Tom McDonald.
  • If you need more of a look at Blease and Tappy go back to remedial school.
  • Some games from Strauss.
  • The coaching situation resolved.
  • Watts played on the wing.
  • Strauss getting some games
  • Howe moved forward.
  • Saints, Brisbane and GWS win 3 more games (but not against us).
  • Campbell apologise to MFC for the Watts decision.
  • RPFC show some humility. :)

Edit: I'm obviously keen to see Strauss get some games!

Strauss, clisby and michie get a run

Dawes kicks a bag

Frawley 're-signs

Hogan gets a run

Vince gets a decent hair cut

Cross gets back in

Toumpas plays some good games to hit pre season with momentum

Posted

Win at least 2 games, with GWS and Brisbane being the likely 2

This team is ingrained with a losing culture and mindset and every win is an important one

If anyone suggests that losing those 2 games wont matter they have rocks in their head... we especially must put GWS back in their place they have flogged us the last few times we have played and its embarrassing

1.Four quarter effort by the boys in all 5 of our remaining games and finishing out of the bottom 4

2.At least 2 more wins, hopefully more. GWS, Brissy I demand, but bring effort and the right attitude and Meth Coast and North are gettable

3.Daniel Cross back to provide some leadership, midfield depth and a cool head (would have been worth his weight in gold in the last 5 minutes yesterday)

4.Kent, Blease and JKH providing the much needed line breaking run coupled with continuous team ethos cementing their spots in the side, providing us with some x-factor

5.No serious injuries to any of our players

6.Hogan getting fit and making his debut and hopefully 2/3 games into him, providing us with another forward option on top of showing why he was so highly sought after

7.Jamar continuing his return to form and providing us with first use of the ball, a good run home for him as crazy as it seems would not rule out a spot in at least the AA 40 man squad, Jacobs is the standout and Lobbe next best but dropping off over the last few weeks

8. Dunn and Jetta continuing their good seasons and earning AA squad selections at least

9. Roos making an announcement during a press conference after a win that he will be extending his contract for at least 1 more season.

10.Frawley agreeing to stay at the Dees for less money than offered at opposition clubs and openly stating the club is headed in the right direction

Strauss has to play. Was recruited for kicking. Its exactly what we need. Has been on the list too long for little return. Now or never.

1. Compete for every single minute of every single game.

Yes it's a bit of a tired and worn out cliché, but I just really would love to see the team go hard right until the very end. For too many years we've had to sit back and watch as the club put the cue in the rack. Things like our ladder position and percentage is not irrelevant by any means, but when we talk about things like the 'culture' of the team then I think this is where it all starts. Setting out to win every single game.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
