Yep DA ..nothing much to get excited about there . Bombers unlucky not to have that goal awarded. Dees need to get going

Derm called it well, the dees forwards are all flying for a wet ball and spoiling each other.. Stupid football really (seperate and hold your defender away or at least hold your feet)! Poor 1st quarter so far. Hopefully we play better than a vfl team next quarter

How to beat Roos:

Step 1) Put a loose player in defence.

Step 2) Win.

You'd think we'd learned from the Collingwood game. Even before the match the 3AW commentators were reminding Roos about how easily Oxley cut us up. What the actual frack is going on?

No real Desire to win there. They seem to be getting behind the ball so every time we go forward they have men back. Dawes and Hogan don't look like marking anything.

Need to come out 2nd qrt with aggression - run and spread!

We've been poor with our entries inside fifty.

Have to give credit to Essendon their plans are working, much like the NAB cup game.

Players behind the ball. Frustrate our entries though long bombs.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan need to separate, all jumping at the same ball allowing Steinberg and Gwilt to drop off.

Big test for Roos right here right now. Coaching points to Hird clearly ATM.

Barring injury need JHK to replace a tall when subbed.

Posted (edited)

They'll give it another quarter and see if we're still too tall in our forward line. Clearly what we're doing now isn't working in these conditions, so pull the sub trigger with Dawes for JKH at halftime.

Howe, Dawes and Hogan all going up in the same marking contest is as dumb as it gets when they have a spare behind the ball.

Viney needs to seriously work on his kicking

yeah i thought...Gus has ball..ok.. Viney has it....wtf

No working structure in the forward half whatsoever. What the hell is ANB trying to take a screamer for every time the ball comes in? He's an extra in the contest which means that they have an extra at ground level. We are playing right into their hands.

totally agree...dumb footy atm....need to divide to conquer

On a side note, I cant handle seeing Howe out there.

Continues to not care to do the hard stuff.

His man is having a huge influence clogging up Hogan's space.

Wish Roos was tougher sometimes.

Posted

3 possessions between Hogan and Dawes. WTF

If going by the afl stats, a lot of players aren't seeing much of the pill (both sides), it's just that their major ball-winners are getting it a lot more than ours.

We're definitely playing to their gameplan atm.

Great play Dawsey

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    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
