So you throw a word like schadenfreude into a sentence but you do not know the difference between there and their!!!!!!

 

Can't wait to see Trenners out there again, going to be a massive crowd at the game i reckon.

Thanks, I hate it when people get their there's mixed up. It started out as their schadenfreude moments and when I changed the sentence I missed the error.

Salem is a favourite of mine, the kid just oozes class and toughness. Can't wait to see him crack in and hopefully have an uninterrupted season.

I'm most excited about Kent & Oliver outside the main ie Hogan Gawn Viney etc.. 

Also the prospect of Hunt becoming a Davey type chase down player excites me!

lol, you realise you stuffed it up there as well? You've used a conjunctive apostrophe where you shouldn't have.

I'm not usually someone who likes to correct grammar on the internet, but this one was pretty funny.

Damn, I give up, no apostrophes for plurals, not sure there's* is conjunctive but I'm batting zero so let me have it

Edit:- theres - a made up plural form of their they're and there. Sometimes English fails more often my English fails.

Been a long time coming with a list this long but take your pick and with apologies to ANB, Brayshaw, Stretch, Vanders and Oliver (How good is it not to expect a 1st year player to be our saviour and shining light and allow them to develop)

Salem - think we landed a beauty in him

Kent - I think the penny has dropped, he has the tools and the speed to really hurt opposition

Petracca - loved what I saw in 2014 Nationals and the pre AFL willingness to knuckle down

Trengove - obvious reasons and many forget the footy smarts, discipline to adhere to team structure and ability shown before injury

Hogan - 2nd season and has everything

Viney - jumped up a class last season expect him to become our number 1 mid by seasons end

Tmac - can he make the early season form of 2015 to a consistent and regular occurence

Gawn - Has the preseason and miles into the body to go with the ability and the ruck craft he has learnt, could be a big year

Meta-schadenfreude?

That's way too much vocabulary for my tiny brain.

Hurts trying to figure that one out into laymen's terms.

The Trac for mine. I am as excited about what he might bring to the table as i was with Hogan.

Because he is not a KPP i don't think people have really considered how big an impact he might have, unlike Hogan who everybody thought would impact straight away (admittedly also because of his big year at Casey not just he was KPP). I really think, if he remains fir, he could be huge factor for us in rising up the ladder.

He will be a really difficult match up on the HF with his size and strength and us loading up on talls in the forward line will make the match up even trickier. And they will have to blanket him because he will damage sides if not. He also an X factor and all teams need one or two of those in the forward half. 

Kent is a close second, for much the same reasons actually and in particular because he also has an X factor. He also has a bit of a strut and a bit of mongrel about him.

Trenners for sure. What a bonus it will be if he can come back at full running capacity. 

Trac a close second.

Others I am most excited to see in terms of what level they can go to this season, in order, are Tyson, Kent, Vanders and Salem. Those four go up a gear and we become a much more damaging side.

I voted Hoges for his sheer will and ferocity....his demand for the ball is something I havent seen since the days of Jaka....

But there are many others i could choose....Dean Kent will arrive this year...I feel it.....hes just got that X factor and outstanding pace which i love.

I am confident that Jack Viney will take a big leap this year, and I am tipping him to make the AA squad of 40 odd this year. So I am excited to watch him play to see if that happens or not.

No question, Hogan. 

Could be the best player to ever play for Dees. Massive call obviously. He could actually destroy teams this year if we give him some service and lift the inside 50 count

    2024 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
