I hope we have learned from that kind of dangerous mindset and put the clamps on early.

We just have to roll up and it will happen.

Forgive my paranoia, but that's exactly the attitude I worry about.

If the ball gets out our mids are too slow to get back and help defend and our backline is too short to out mark their three 197+cm tall forwards. 

In recent times our midfield pressure has been good.  It is our forwards that need to defend exceptionally well today - something they have been poor at all year.  The ball needs to stay in our forward half.  Not wanting to put pressure on but we really need a big game from Hogan today with goalkicking and doing his share of defending.

Suns much more organised and switched on than last time - not at all confident.

The frustrating thing is we been starting well early in most of the games we have lost recently.

That's true. So add to my previous statement a '4-quarter effort'. 

All the well-worn cliches - just win the bloody game!

I think this is different - they went with 3 talls to rough up Maxy not as genuine forwards so their talls were just goal posts up forward!

Also that was a wet track - terrible day for talls anywhere on the ground.  Today's track and weather are quite different.

We underestimate Lynch, Day and 2meter Pete, at our peril!  They are all in form genuine forwards - not faux ruckman.

Gold Coast had Wright, Lynch and Day in their side the last time we played them.

They will put Day forward this week but didn't he play on Hogan last time? Hogan finished that game with 1.3 from 9 touches, in a game where we kicked 24.16.

We had no problem with Lynch and Wright the last time, the reason being the same tactic as today: we restricted their inside 50s (75 to us, 35 to them). Keep their opportunities down and our midfield and forward line should be good enough to win the game.

Laziness through the middle and from our half-forwards though...

What a great day. Soon the season will be over, so going to just enjoy watching the team play today......Dees by 29.

And ready

We are crap

This should be how we play all the time

Great tackle

We can't tackle

Selection mistakes again

See why they brought VDB back

He's gone

We can build a team around around him

and that's just 5 minutres into the first quarter

The only thing surer is you blindly leaping to the defence of anyone who is criticised.

The mind boggles to what kind of excuses will be brought up by apologists if we lose. There is just no way I could accept a loss today.

Probably the same excuses used week in week out because they dont just dissapear overnight... it takes preseasons... but anyway not sure why i am bothering 

Anyway adc maybe you should just try enjoying the game since we are competitive now at least.

I reckon our mids should get thr job done today. If not we might be in trouble.

Given that the garden salad I had at lunch has more intensity than their midfield today should be a walk-over.

I think we wil win quite comfortably, I would love to see a 100 point demolition of the Suns.

    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
