He has. He has dropped three marks. Only positive, a good handball to Jeffy for a goal. Appears very rusty. He will come good.

What, no summary executions for a guy who has made a couple of skill errors?

 

Jones quiet. Vince quiet. Hogan quiet. And we're in front. Good signs.

Just sat down at my local. Recently moved so had to cancel Foxtel.

Instead of $130+ (monthly) to watch beloved Demons only cost couple bucks for pot, the place is empty and 50inch tv to myself ☺☺☺

So many reactionary flogs live here.  They make concrete conclusions on the back of one moment of play.

Watts is becoming really important and I couldn't be happier.

And no, the bet isn't with Jumbo and I hope I lose.

Shouldn't have even gone to him, Salem was the closer and better option. 

I thought it was a squib too, but maybe the sun cuts him a break. 

Grimes doesn't squib. He just fumbled as he turned sideways, to get an ordinary pass that was high.

Salem and Tyson playing poorly, too.

I like that we're getting a lot of drive out of Bugg, Kennedy and Oliver - new players that are showing us they're going to add value to the side in 2016.

You may be right. His man has 3, but others stuffed up to make them pretty easy.

He looks more a winger to me.

Wagner gifted them at least two. He looks to have settled in the second half. But, backline is a little green with both he and Omac in there.  

Loving Watts and Gawn taking so many contested marks.  

Feel we are missing Vanders for the contested fear factor   

It's exciting watching the team build confidence and enjoy the flow of the more aggressive game plan.

Bar one kick, Tom has been very good so far. Watts again among our best.

Is anyone else concerned about Tyson? He gets caught all the time and when he gets one away, it is a poor disposal. 

Wagner has killed us with his only few kicks, all have gone to the Saints and cost a couple of goals. I know though he is only a rookie. Where are you Mitch White?

Rubbish, Tyson has been our best midfielder so far.

Hogan is having a bit of a mare. I remember last years NAB Challenge he played ok, but wasn't clunking any marks, so hopefully a similar story this year.

Gawn awesome again.

Watts is playing his third good game on the trot.

I like Kennedy, and I really like Harmes.

I still feel there is one spot on a back flank well and truly up for grabs. Wagner had a crack at it today but has been well short of the mark.

No. As I said he is rusty and will come good.

We all know he is a good footballer.

However, I think we are allowed to say he dropped 3 marks, if he actually dropped 3 marks, aren't we?

We can also say he kicked one off the side of his boot, if he did.

I was paying $130 per month for the platinum package and rang them threatening to cancel. I ended up sticking with the platinum package and now pay $65 a month. They are struggling retaining customers with Netflix etc.

My bad.

To be fair you've always said you hope you're wrong on Watts. Still a long way to go before we find out.

Our recruiting haul from this offseason (Oliver, Bugg, Kennedy) looks bloody good so far. All three are super hard at the ball and just seem to always win 50/50's.

Oliver is just a natural footballer and I just love watching when he's near the ball.
Wagner is having an absolute mare which I'm sure that's largely due to nerves.
I've loved Gawn & Watts's games and N. Jones has started to get a fair bit of it in the middle. If our backline was a bit tighter we'd be up by 30-40pts.

Not having a go at you, Legs. Just at the preparedness of some here to condemn players to death on he back of not much evidence.

Do they still show Black Gold?I can't believe Brandon's behaviour at times. Amazed he is still on the Big Dawg rig.

Gawn has improved out of sight, but the next step is to do more damage with his ruck dominance, at times he can smash his opponent in the hit outs but we don't gain a huge advantage from it

    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

    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.

    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.
