Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

He was good - backed up last weeks effort.

He now seems to go into contests hard and is backing his pace and foot skills (think he has finally turned a corner)

Next step is to be able to float forward and kick goals caus we cant rely on hogan and Garrlett all the time.

There was that one moment where he marked 10m in front and went to play on - almost stuffed it up - should know better then that. (you dont see hawthorn and sydney stuff those up)

Was out all morning (I'm OS), no wifi, no news. Couldn't believe the result. Fabulous.

Don't have the time to hack my way through xx pages of the Gameday thread, but wondering, did anyone promise to leave Demonland if we won?

Just checking.

Yes I believe someone did......

Excellent. Physical and with usual vision. Chased, tackled, competed. He gets it now. Last 3 games he's a different player.

We actually have a midfield now and some depth in reserve.

Gawn and Spencer feeding them made a huge difference.

It is hard to believe Brayshaw is a first year player - Voss like in his attack on the ball.

Very good game. Continued on from last week. Much more engaged in the play.

I thought he was very good, went hard, tackled, chased, did all the things you demands from your players.

Used the ball well.

May be unpopular but i don't know if we would have won that if jesse played, we bomb to him way to often, his absence made us lower our eyes

Decent game. 19 disposals and a few important score involvements. If he can bring that every week there can be no complaints.

Midfield of Gawn, Vince, Jones, Viney, Brayshaw looks capable of winning a lot of footy against most opposition. We have a contested game that we can build a plan around.

On the contrary , knowing we had either Gawn or Spencer ( or Dawes ) competing , we DID bomb it in , and often

Can't believe this.

5 goals last week not good enough?

Anyone else got a list of Geelong supporters to talk to at work tomorrow?

I'm taking tomorrow off the way this Pale Ale's going down.

Cheers everyone.

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

Nothing to do with jesse as a player, our entries were quality today, that cant change when he comes back

RN - you were so right about Gawn. Apologies, mate.

Not really JB i was just referencing last year's marking efforts and thought 2 games wasn't enough to judge him on that was all. Wasn't expecting such a turnaround this week!

You got your wish though! And then some i think ....

Idgaf who gets picked - I don't want another meek effort against these pricks.

I want them hurt.

Id like to know what happened 3 or 4 weeks ago. Something seems to have clicked, at last.

Agree that the bombs are possibly a little overdone overall SPR but i did see the Jones boy lower his eyes and hit him up on at least 2 occasions last week. Pretty sure the Hulk goaled from both of those lace outs.

I was very pleased with Dunn's game. Best game for over a year. Stuck to Hawkins like a leech. This was back to his AA form at last. A big thumbs up to Gawn and the midfield for three weeks of continuous improvement.

The great tackle i50 on Varcoe against the Pies on QB and the resulting goal HH.

Monkey off the back from then (reversing the gang tackle in opening game against same team 7 years earlier and questionmark over physicality)

    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. 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
