BTW knucklehead it's Romsey!

The great Sir Les once said of his boring wife.......... She's so boring, she'd bore an A....hole in a wooden horse. I think it's fair to say this couldn't  be said of our Bitters. Some of his acolytes, perhaps yes.

oh bye the way, it's a big no to Gach from me.

We should pick up Gach despite his ciminal activities.Many other footballers have be given a second chance. Comparing him to another Sudanese in Majak Daw,this guy is roughly in the same mould but a few years younger. Alir Alir played finals in his first year with the Swans. We need another Ruck- Whatever and I am sure he will surpass our next best ruckman (Spencil).

How is his first or Christian name pronounced?

Is it "Gash"?

If so, I'd cut him some slack.

And if his name had a s at the start it would sound like something else. He might gain a few more admirers! eh Uncle!

Was just delisted by Essendon. Didn't see much of him in the VFL.

Since being drafted all I can remember about him was that he was arrested for drunken death threats against an uber driver.

Anyone seen his development over the past 12 months?

has he been rooming with Hurley

It's hard to go past Enyaw's compelling argument of "he's a ruckman so he must be better than Spencer and he comes from the same country as Majak Daw" though, you must admit.

I wouldn't have thought he'd pass the no D...k head policy we had under Roos and presumably still have under Goodwin.

Perhaps we could put his picture up on the walls with the wording of the no D..K head policy written below, just for clarity.

Gach got delisted by the bottom side that's probably due to the return of the drug squad. I am sure that he will prove a lot of people wrong that he will be able to cut the mustard. Majak Daw looked like his career was coming to an end when he was placed on the rookie list by the Kangas and yet he ended up with a 3 yr contract.

We've relaxed that policy a little lately though to be fair. Couple on our list and I have no problems with it....as long as they can play.

Majak got rookied for an off field incident that was nearly a decade old at the time. Young Gach seemed to be delisted for off field and on field incidents that were happening every week. There's not a lot of similarities.

Makes you wonder whether the teams need a few more long term rookie positions.

This guy is a short term ...No.... but if you could warehouse him and give him one or two years in a controlled system ..... I would be interested

Hope he gets a role at a VFL club.

Without wishing to sound racist or patronising perhaps a few '"refugee rookie positions" could be an idea. We seem to have rookies in a lot of other categories.

DeeSpencer,surely with the class of coaching staff,mind controllers etc we could turn Gach around,he didn't get pick by Essendon for no reason. Sometimes clubs have to think outside the square when recruiting.

Hard to get an Uber out at Casey anyway. Presumably much closer to home so he can probably train and get picked up from Cranny station.

In all seriousness it's good to see he's getting a 2nd chance close to the elite system. If he can turn around the off field stuff he could come good on field. You'd think he'd probably start back in the Casey 2's and have to work his way up which would probably be good for him. Clubs without VFL reserves must really struggle to develop young rucks

I think he would be relying on injuries 'Dee'....with Max, Spencer, King & Flip ahead of him for a start.

Yep but big Oscar McInerny made his way up due to form and injuries late in the year. By all reports from his draft days Gach has a stack of talent and he's had the year in an AFL system so he could end up ahead of the young guys on our list. Flippers is pretty raw and King is coming of an ACL injury. Just establishing themselves at VFL senior level and backing up Spencer would be a good start for those 2 this year.

    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.
