We all love big Max and he has played some pearlers this year.  

In all of our losses bar one (Norf) Max has done little outside of his rucking. ie marks, possies and goals.

In all of our wins Max has been awesome with his contested marking and work up forward.

Seems to be no middle ground.

Clearly we depend on him a great deal. 

Do we need to play 2 fulltime rucks so Max can tae more marks and kick more goals?

I think we should play Spencer and Gawn in the same team and have a forward line with Hogan, Watts and the resting ruck man. Of course this is not going to happen because our coaches have a love affair with Dawes, but this would give us one of the most dominant ruck combinations in the comp and would give us a genuine advantage in most games.

Gawn needs to find that consistency by the end of the year. Bridging the gap between our best and worst is what this season is about, both from a team perspective and an individual perspective.

Spencer looked pretty good today against the Pies.

There seems to be deftness to his tap work that I haven't noted before. Is this another tick for our man Stafford?

But to fair, in last weeks conditions it was pretty hard to take big pack marks and kick big goals. He still got 50 HO

Never disputing his ruck work and yea it was not a day for notching up marks but if you watch the game  unlike any of our wins  he couldnt get down forward to create havoc. And yes he was the sole ruck without Pedo but I guess thats essentially my point.

Some days his marking is fantastic, others it's not so good and he just doesn't seem to get to as many contests. He has only just ticked over 50 games so it's possible that he's experiencing some fatigue... he'd be close to the most games played in a season already this year, wouldn't he?

When hes marking around the ground we win. He needs more help than Pedo. Hes an agile big man that can turn a game around and would love to see him playing forward more.

    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.
