Is playing well... Does a lot of the ball & provides good leadership.... As supporters we expect too much from premiership players from other clubs.... Remember they are 1 of many good players in other teams lists who play their role...

Playing a role and is a leader at the club- has demonstrated this leadership on field and the players speak glowingly of him off field.

He is playing somewhat out of position, but he has a bug body and some dash- two things we desperately need in the middle.

His defensive efforts are fine, but he's struggling to impact in attack. He's being asked to carry more of the burden of ball-winning and creating than he's used to and I think it's weighing on his mind a bit.

Nah, he's playing exactly like he did at Collingwood. Shows dash but ultimately there's going to be a long kick to anywhere or a bad one two handball attempt.

At Collingwood it could end up looking good or go unnoticed if it didn't because they were a good team.

He's an average player with a big profile that looked good in a good team.

Now he's an average Melbourne player.

Collingwood knew that if he could find the ball he was going to run like hell and bomb it as long as he could. And they were ready for it and exploited it. We don't.

That's not to say he isn't in our best team, just that the blokes on the other end of the roost will decide how good or bad he will look from it. What he does hasn't changed.

PS - A Collingwood supporting friend - and I may have said this here already, so appols if I did - calls him One Speed Harry. I love that name. Sums him up well. And not just when it comes to footy.

He's been awful for the most part. Coasts along at half pace, trailling his opponent by 5 metres and as soon as he takes possession he can't wait to slam the ball wildly on to his boot or give off a hospital handpass.

He's clearly not accountable enough to play as a genuine defender, and doesn't find the ball enough to play midfield. After Howe gets dropped, Lumumba is next in the firing line for me.

Why anybody thought he was worth more than $300K a year is beyond me. I'd rather give that money to Garland.

Given we basically swapped him for Clark, I'm quite satisfied with our end of the deal.

I think H is in our Top 10, and brings a lot more to the team than what we (supporters) observe for 2 hours every week.

Downhill skier, always was. He's a massive liability when we're losing, but when we're winning he's an asset. Another "cherry on top" player like Watts.

sometimes i wonder whether you are a closet hipster, moonie

you seem to know too much to be just an observer

Yes dc, you'll see me at the footy with my well manicured Ned Kelly beard sipping on boutique beer, yarn-bombing the goalposts at half time

Did you know VB recently came first place in a boutique/craft beer contest run by hipsters.

They cleverly made new labels and came up with a new name however simply used VB.

The hipsters weren't happy saying if they knew it was VB they wouldn't have voted for it...classic.

H has been a valuable leader on and off feild. Been playing OK but would like to see some better decision making. I know he likes to play on but he very often takes on too much, which mostly results in holding the ball or a turnover. He also rushes his kicking. However I don't want his intensity to drop off. He is still providing that bit of punch off the backline.

Anyone else noticed that he runs up to just about every dees player who kicks a goal? says something right in their ear. Good to see this level of encouragement. I noticed it a lot in the dogs game. Then he runs all the way to the backline for the bounce.

    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.

    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. 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.
