Nathan seemed to be training well today so I don't know why he wouldn't play, especially when Roos stated that we would be fielding our best side.

It's all about the ball movement for mine and the concomitant impact on game plan.  There's a high degree of anticipation as to how much impact Goodwin has had on the game plan and to what extent the

I'm one who cares about practice matches / NAB Cup. For years I've read on here the old chestnut "it's only a practice match" as if an ordinary display by the team is some sort of anomaly, and we're g

I know it's only a practice match with a glorified title, but for me, a NAB Challenge win on the weekend is important. First, it will be a strong indicator that at least some of the key element

Our strongest fit side. It wouldnt make sense to risk our captain and arguably one of our most important players, for the nab challenge. The whole idea of the nab challenge is obviously to shake of some rust but also give the young guys a taste

will be great to Oliver, Wagner.  also Hunt and Frost

3 players to be dropped from the squad by satdy: maybe M Jones, O Mac and ANB?

the team has a real young feel to it. not many over 24, in fact, not that many over 22 yo!

So who's our midfield leader in that group? Viney? Tyson? Maybe Gawn...

Easily Viney.  He'll go banana's in the middle and set the tone for the rest of the players.

Pretty good side picked, very interested to see how we go against pretty strong opposition.

Agree. Quite like playing against a strong Port side. Their spread against us last year was unbelievable, would be good to see how we have developed over the off season.

Was it last year Viney kicked across the face of goal in the NAB cup straight to an opposition player who goaled straight away?

We've been called 'the young demons side' for the past 50 years.

Hey boys and girls. 

I’ve never before set foot in 'lizbeth, but I’m going to risk the pearly-whites and pop over to Playford on Sat for a squiz. I know it’s televised, but anything in particular the people here would like me to keep a close eye on in person?

Keep a close eye on your wallet for a start. Dont talk to strangers. On a football note, let us know how Salem goes and whether his role is solely off half back or he moves about a little.

A port supporter on big footy literally just called this game 'the Viney cup.' Facepalm... I hope we won't beat those flogs.

How ridiculous. Obviously they should be playing for the Matthew Bishop trophy.

(and what's with those last 7 words?)

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    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
