Bit harsh. It's quite a picturesque ground and when it fills up the atmosphere isn't bad, although when it goes quiet it goes eerily quiet. I remember attending a GWS game back when Folau was still playing, and when he laid a tackle you could hear the crunch loud and clear.

You are also often at a good distance for providing constructive feedback to opposition players if you so choose.

If that's the case, then a certain GWS player can look forward to a generous serve of free advice come Saturday.

$2.75 are great odds for a Melbourne win.

Canberra isn't a home ground advantage to GWS.

In fact they lost all their games there last year. North thumped them by 80 points back in August.

Feel free to give him some advice from me too Akum.

I can live with players shifting clubs. We can't be too hypocritical as we were cheering for Tyson, Garlett and H on the weekend.

Frawley, Rivers, Clark and Sylvia I all wish well to certain degrees, but there is something about that bloke that I just know that I will be booing him till he hangs up his boots.

I took the $5.95 wire to wire.

Gee one win has made a difference around here.

If we win another I think I will stay off the B----hit will be too thick!

Wait until we are 4-0, OD ... :blink:

Put a $100 on the Dees and will (along with the squeeze) be on the road to Startrack at about 5.30 Saturday morning to watch my investment blossom.

Great minds think alike I was going to leave at about 6am

They looked very rusty against the Saints, whose defence was simply embarrassing on Sunday. Even still, GWS only scored 80 something points, so if we can limit them to 60 with our superior defence and maintain our attacking form of last week, I really rate our chances.

as well as compete against a crowd that will definitely NOT be urging us on.

I don't know how we will handle the pressure of 4 people booing us it will be immense.

Don't want to start a separate thread about this, but what is the story with Stephen Coniglio? I have always rated him, but for some reason he hasn't seemed to cement his spot in the GWS team (happy to be informed as to why this is the case, ie. due to injury). I know he injured his thumb a while back, which would explain some missed games, but going in to his fourth season, he's yet to play a full 22 games. He started as sub last week, so will be interesting to see what they do with him this week.

Out of contract at the end of this season I believe. While he's a WA boy, I consider him a person of interest.

I sit back with great smugness that some of the GWS kids will start to look elsewhere when they ask for a pay rise and it doesn't come. Is this bloke one we should tempt?

He can't get a game ahead of Scully so he is clearly a complete spud. We should be looking elsewhere.

Our oppositions current i jury list, if anyone is interested:

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY

Will Hoskin-Elliott Shoulder 3 weeks

He is a big out for them. He tore us apart last time with his marking and pace.

Closed case then, thanks for that. :wacko:

Did Tyson get many games ahead of the little brat?

You pre booking or just buying a ticket at the gate Frost?

Hadn't thought of that. Probably would be a great idea to pre book.

Do many usually get to these games in Canberra?

Posted

What is wire to wire Frank?

Sorry I didnt notice your question, BBO.

Ive now got wire to wire - in front at each break, and I also took the 1-39 range as well. I see us not letting them overtake us in a hard fought last quarter.

But best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry..

I spoke with a local this morning who thought there would be no problems getting a ticket at the gate.

However I am thinking I will pre purchase my tickets in case there is a line to buy tickets close to game time.

What is Coniglio's excuse?

Poor man's Toumpas

Really looking forward to this game. We are a legit chance to win 2 games in a row and, if we play like we did on Saturday, then we are certainly a big chance to do it.

I'm still intrigued about who will be selected tonight in the side. It can't have been an easy decision no matter which way we go.

Well, you've got me there... although you might be surprised... at the Canberra game I attended, it did get noisy.

    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.
