You say this every week. Why? His kicking was sharp yesterday, one of our goals was directly caused by Tyson successfully executing a risky but perfect 50m kick into the corridor to Jones who was surrounded by Bulldogs. I don't recall any of his other kicks missing the mark either.

Tyson's getting back to his levels where he finished runner up in our B&F not backwards.

He's averaging equal or higher in disposals, goals, tackles, Inside 50s and Score Assists than that year, and all are a marked improvement on last year.

Agreed after round 2 Tyson hasnt put a foot wrong I was frustrated by him then but its stupid to be saying he was poor now. Like all the [censored] on the day giving it to Watts after that 1 dropped mark, was the only mistake he made all day, frustrating yes but he was far from our worst.

Biggest difference between him and Viney is the attack on the ball. Tyson always seems to receive the ball at clearances standing still whereas Viney and Jones more often are hitting the ball with some speed when they get it.

meh - rewatch the game - Viney and Jones were as tied up in tackles as much or even more than Tyson yesterday.

Tyson has clearly not gone backwards and was as effective as Viney and more than Jones yesterday and his output has  been vastly superior to last year.

Tyson again gets a kick from Joeboy ( Tyson must have kicked his cat)   - was he more wasteful than Jack Viney ?

Ok...I thought Viney was poor in a couple of areas yesterday.

I know people don't like to hear it as he is the golden boy but if we are to be a serious team then I hope the coaching staff are on top of this.

Jack played selfish, he tried to win the game on his own, he continually tried to break tackles when he had good options and he often hit the ball up where he should have cleared the way for a team mate.

To me he was a rich man's Moloney yesterday and he needs to get it out of his game. The game was too much about Jack and not about team.

Surely we are over the type of thinking where we talk about a player trying his gets out, this is bottom of the ladder and junior league talk. When Hawthorn have a bad one we don't here that Hodge tried hard, it was a great effort. You hear about team and who did or didn't do what to ensure a win.

He is extremely football focussed and as a leader I think he really needs to learn to use his emotional response to help the team. I thought he hindered it yesterday...and it's not the first time.

This is where the maturity will come.

I tend to agree. When the team is down or behind or he just wants to make a difference , Jack wants to lift the team so whilst his intent cannot be faulted, instead of keeping it simple he will try to do a little too much which invariably comes unstuck. 

I don't like using the word selfish when it comes to Viney as he is so selfless running into a contest - I would rather suggest that as result of the team not firing or being behind in his desire to fire up the team or get a positive result he tries to do too much.

Can't see why Vince will get suspended for a bump on the shoulder and no real impact on the player he supposedly hit 'high'.

Gawn was well beaten alright... by the maggots! The umpires continually let the Bulldog ruckman impede his run at the ball while allowing Bonts to have a clear hit as third man up. Contrast this approach by the maggots to the free against Hickey for impeding Goldstein!

Oliver's minimal impact had him top 5 for handballs and around top 5 or 6 for tackles!

Apart from that DemonLAd5, I reckon you're pretty close!

Yep really agree with this post . There must be a lot of blokes going around teaching players and Footscray is full of them how to fall over then get up with the free and drill a pin point pass. The name Beveridge comes to mind. There must be other blokes going around teaching blokes how to continually block others, fooling dumb-enuff  umpires.

People should remember how a lot of these blokes fathers used to play for free kicks the same way. The  TV Fox coverage was like listening to a couple of old Muppets.

    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.
