Saty, in the Dogs game I thought there were a number of occasions where a forward got a mark on the very edge of their range or capability, and very deliberately went back to take the shot, instead of trying to give it short to a lead, or hand off to a better kick.

The examples were Jeffy's goal, Toump's second goal, Howe's two shots from the boundary (especially the second which was further out), Hogan's shot that just missed from just beyond 50m, and of course Ro Bail's miss. Maybe Pedo's first goal too, I'm not so sure about that one. They all seemed to ignore a risky short pass or two, took a deep breath, went back & had the shot.

I wondered whether this is just what happened on the day, or whether it's a team instruction that if you get a mark inside 50, it's your responsibility to get the goal.

Garlett also passed one from the boundary line to JHogan

Told Howie that was right next to him in the crowd for his hanger at the weekend, and was going to offer him pen on way down.......got the reply i thought it would, just thought Garlo wasn't training, means nothing these days, Garlett wasn't there last week for last session

What was that?

How did Toumpas train?

Because it's you asking, I have chased it up for you and Picket Fences. Apparently Roosy and Goody had good long meeting about toump and they are considering dropping him from training. Need him to get more game time so he improves during the week. Reckon he needs to be saved for Monday to Friday duties.........

What a dumb [censored] question.

"Who are you and please stop talking to me."

Chook that will confuse him.

First you ask for a response then tell him not to!

NB:- When you read him please insert her, it, them or WTF as appropriate.

Training was on again, same drills as per the last few weeks, ball movement, ball movement, ball movement, with designated kickers and more and less defenders

Tyson and Jamar only ran laps

Whole squad very upbeat, the skills today were very good, with the normal one or two errant kicks and handballs

Viney looks ready to tear somebody apart

Jeff Garlett arranged a performance by Indigenous dancers at the end of the session, lot of footy dept and admin staff attended

The boots that Jeff is going to wear on Saturday are cool, put a pic on Twitter later

Complimented Fitzy on his game, said he is really enjoying the role down back, same with Aaron vandenBerg, really enjoyed the role he was given

Any questions as per the norm

Pics on Twitter Demonpk later

Was that role to: search, kill, destroy everything and anything that lays in the path of him getting the football? If so, then MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, Aaron.

Toump trained really well, confidence is growing

That's what was liked about him when they were watching before we got him, only rookie though, always the chance he couldn't lift to AFL level, which has now been put to bed in a big way

As for the set shots on goal, I think that is a rule now, unless there is somebody completely open

What was that?

Something slightly rude

Excellent work, DC. One minor suggestion -- a tank of blues? :)

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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

    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
