Bail can do 10 good things but undo all his good work with one big clanger.

He'd probably make a great 5k runner, except for the fact that every now and then he'd turn around and run the wrong direction or something.

Double the contested possession that quarter, plus 20-8 in hard ball gets.

The story of 2014 - not direct enough, not enough inside 50s and not enough scoring shots. Then when you only generate 12 scoring shots in a half, you need to convert. We haven't won a game this year when we've kicked more behinds than goals.

Bail's GPS would run out of energy before he does. Covers a huge amount of ground.

We've got to be bolder and go more direct. We seem to mark and stop, go back and all any loose player to be picked up before kicking the ball... Frustrates the bejesus out of me!

Spot in titan, and going by what Roos is saying this pre-season will be about developing that offensive game now that we understand how to run both ways and shut a team down. He can push them harder and, hopefully, get more out of them again over the summer.

Great. Lions looking into the sun next qtr and we get some cloud cover!

Seems to me that Tappy is growing in confidence with more games under his belt.

But Blease remains too overconfident for mine. I like his dash but wish he would be more of a team player sometimes.

Apart from a dropped mark and the odd mistake the bloke works incredibly hard, 11 touches, 4 marks, 3 tackles... far from our worst.

The odd mistake?

Really?

At some point we're going to concede a goal and lose all our confidence.

80% of our players are guilty of it. No idea why you single him out.

100% of our players are guilty of the odd mistake.

Bail unfortunately makes more than probably 80%.

The positive, though, is that if he can work the mistakes out he has the rest of his game set up.

Fair point, although it annoys me that he is the one singled out to be dropped for a bloke who doesn't even play the same role.

Yes there are other serial offenders. He's one of the worst.

Michie deserves to come in and someone needs to make way. He's my candidate. Back to the game eh?

    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

    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
