LOVE that...

Gawn...

is coming to power, and could very well be the number one Ruckman by seasons end (touch wood). Sadly Goldstein beats him in terms of around the ground marking, tackling, goal kicking etc. but as a ruckman in the purist form, Gawn is currently number 1. 

Viney...

 is getting the recognition that Nathan Jones should have got the past 6 years. Absolute beast and now adored/admired by the likes of Robbo, Healey etc. Not saying i love them and value their opinions, but they do have a fair influence in the AFL media. 

Watts...

please, please, please keep it up for the rest of the season/career. If anyone deserves to truly make it, it is you. MUST play well on the big stage on Sunday night. The whole of Australia will be watching due to the public holiday. IF he has arrived, that will be the stage to do it on.

2 out of 4 weeks for both Gawn and Watts. If they can build on that form and Viney can continue his rise to the elite, we will be a good side sooner rather than later.

Jones wasn't nearly as damaging in his fourth year. Jones has always attacked the footy/contest but his disposal/decision making was questionable. Jones game went to a new level under Roos/Stone.

Jones had an uncharacteristically high number of turnovers, especially by hand. He was very good otherwise.

Jones is apart of the very few in the AFL these days that can comfortably and dangerously use his opposite side.

I couldn't believe when he missed that set shot, he's normally insanely accurate in front of goal.

whenever Nate jones has a set shot i tend to put it down as a goal the moment i see the mark, not bad when you can have an off day and still play as well as he did.

Jones used to get caught a lot trying to barge his way through, he now thinks his way through situations/congestion. 

 

On on a side note : Bring on Cotchin and the rabble that is the RFC.

All thoroughly deserved.

I didn't think it was one of Jonesy's better games by any stretch. Didn't use the ball as well as he usually does.

And Brayshaw (who is more or less ambidextrous) 
and Bernie (will always love that left foot bomb of a goal against geelong last year).

I like that we have a few of them now

Interestingly Viney gets 10 coaches votes and is on the bench, Gawn gets none and is the ruckman. Simply an observation.

Lacks Wagner.

That would have been a great boost of confidence for him, making the team of the week in only his second game. Statistically, Hartley had a pretty average game, but I didn't see how he played. Interesting choice?

    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
