I threw up typing it. My optimism also relates to the fact I avoided almost the entire game against Port. I let my guard down and listened to parts of the first qtr but turned it off. See no evil and all.

Man U seem to like being punished and beaten up. A stint In our backline should be right up your alley !

Rusty, I had to read your post three times to realise you weren't talking about soccer. When I played it was in the backline, in those days we dished it out. But I agree our backline are getting punished. 

I think this is the year before we start to play our best team every week, the coaches seem to be experimenting.

Dawes, Grimes and Trengove definitely in the running for a place in this week's team.

ALL IN PLUS OLIVER AND POSSIBLY FROST DOWN BACK!

You can put a bunch of blokes on the chopping block but Hunt shouldn't be one of them. I thought he was outstanding for the first 3 qtrs vs port.

players in danger:

ANB, Newton, Kent (his good 3rd qtr might save him),  Harmes, Wagner

I reckon this mix is close to our changes for this week. Dawes, Frost, Oliver, Grimes and Trenners in contentioin for selection.

Can someone help me out? Clearly I must have a comprehension problem, because I cannot decipher what that bolded section means.

 

one of its' few functioning defenders, in an inexplicably feeble defence, to injury. Better??

If Trengove comes back in, the boys might be inspired and perform well, even then, I think it will take a fair bit of luck for the boys to snag the win.

Hawks have got A graders on every line.

For us to be a chance we're going to have to shutdown either Lewis or Mitchell in the guts and hope that Nev can curb Rioli a little.

I'm expecting it to be an extremely physical game as we attempt to match the pressure around the contest with the Hawks. For this reason alone I reckon we'll see more experience brought into this weeks team.

I've had a feeling for a few weeks that we'd win one of the Hawthorn games this year & Saturday will probably be the most likely of the 2 encounters. The Hawks were average against a side we belted by 10 goals the previous week playing average football.. 5 minutes into the last Brisbane were within a kick. The Hawks are there for the taking for the first time since we last beat them in 2006.

If Dawes AND frost come In I wld rathersee Watts play a bigger role there than Frost picket. Frost looks like a potential future forward but more like a dog with fleas down back

I reckon these changes are the general consensus on here for once, amiright? 

Great to see Trenners back of course but Vanders too- I'm a big fan.

Best changes all season (unfortunate loss of Viney aside)

Will be interesting to see where Frost plays, and Im shocked to see Vanders back  already but very glad he is.

Posted

All good changes, although Harmes is a very lucky boy.

Clearly we've gone for the bigger bodies this week, with Trengove, Oliver and Vanders giving us extra size around the ball.  Dawes will take some pressure off Hogan and we will see how Frost goes in the defensive 50.  It can't be much worse than his efforts at the other end.

May have seen the last of Dunn and Grimes in an MFC jumper ... Newton and ANB have their work cut out as well if they want to stay on the list, though ANB has youth on his side.

A few others can consider themselves lucky.

    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

    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
