After we lose wait for the wrist slashing on the site!

After the loss? The wrist slashing will begin when Freo kicks the first goal.

Thursday can go one of two ways - a victory that will give the optimists a hard on and the pessimists a meagre smile, or a loss that will give the pessimists what they want and the optimists will just claim it's NAB Challenge and it will be all good once the real stuff starts.

May the football gods look down on us and protect thou who wear the red and blue.

Not but seriously looking forward to seeing Lumumba, Garlett, Hogan, hope Brayshaw gets a start but more importantly no injuries.

I expect to lose but not because we are bad, I have been told by a few in the know they are flying and as opposed to last season Freo are hoping to hit the season proper in similar fashion to the way Hawthorn started last season with a view of rotating and freshening up some players mid season and hit the end of the season like 2013 fresh and ready for a big tilt.

Taking that into account with their focus being on Round 1 I expect them to be making some early statements. Very good test for our boys

Heck il start it now if yous want!

I expect Hogan to be reported as wishing to come home by local media whether he fires or not.

I expect Freo to come out soft for this early game as they have repeatedly been 2 games stuffed by end of September.

I reckon we might be up and about.

Or it could be draw....

thanks captain obvious.....

I was talking responses to the outcome of the game, but go ahead and delete the actual post to suit your wit.

The aim of NAB matches is for teams to work on their structures &game plans and implement some of the plays they have been working on. It's a time for coaches to experiment to get some sense of how far the boys have progressed and likely line-up for the early matches. I am looking to see improvment as well as future potential. Do we have greater depth, is our ball movement quicker, do we have a forward line that can kick goals A win is a bonus but really the NAB must be seen for what it is. And I always hope like hell we get no serious injuries.

If you offered me a 8 goal loss BUT no injuries right now, I'd consider taking it. An 8 goal win but ONE random injury? Probably not.

The Dogs may have beaten Richmond on the scoreboard, but they were the massive losers over the weekend.

Let's hope we can get out of Perth unscathed. We've had some pretty bad luck in recent years (Jurrah's shoulder, Morton going down when he was good, Hogan, Petracca already this year...)

I'll be heading down on Thursday to watch us absolutely pants this bunch of floggers. I hold the Fremantle footy club in as much contempt as the Pies. I reckon we'll go well and shock the football public with a dominant 10 goal win.

But realistically, I'd be happy if we can show some attacking footy, clean disposal and real pressure tackling. More of last years defensively minded rubbish will be a major disappointment.

The team are also having a short 1 hour training run at Fremantle oval on Wednesday which I'll sneak down to as its only 20 minutes from the office. It there's anything worth reporting I'll jot some notes for my fellow desperadoes.

    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
