Its round 22 and what a joy this is to see Demonland posters arguing about how much we need to win by to make up % to make the finals , instead of arguing about why we are still such a bad club we aft

Hawks were two games clear on top before they ran into the Red and Blue machine. We may have ended their reign.

Really feel for the kid. I have no idea what went wrong with Toumpas, but ultimately nobody has won out of the situation. I wish he'd been the player we hoped, but it is what it is. All the best for h

St Kilda's brand doesn't work away from Etihad against half decent opposition. It's high pressure, high intensity, but it's the sort of brand that has very little to it and won't stand up in finals either. They don't have enough contested ball beasts in the middle.

Agree. Saints wins games on pure effort. They won't do any damage in finals without more talent in the middle. forward line looks good though.

Not going for Port and I couldn't give a rats about them, but they're still making me groan and swear with some of the errors, e.g. the Westhoff spilt mark, Trengove kicking it to nobody.

I reckon their spine is looking pretty impressive, but Stevens, Armitage... Acres? Billings? Ross? Gresham? It's not a group that comes anywhere near ours, the Dogs or GWS' midfield group.

They are mindbogglingly bad, and Westhoff is having the worst game I've seen him play (personified by that kick for goal).

Not to mention 10 minutes ago when he burned his teammate running open into the goalsquare (only to spray his kick for goal) and 5 minutes ago when he spoiled a ball rather than marked it, leading straight to an Adelaide goal.

Hawthorn look beatable, West Coast look beatable, Sydney look beatable, Geelong look beatable, Western Bulldogs look beatable, GWS look beatable, and now Adelaide look beatable.

Are you forgetting someone?

It's funny. It's almost as if they all just want to get to September uninjured and have switched off a little.

Amazing. 17,000 Collingwood fans tonight. If it was Melbourne everyone would be up in arms. The lack of crowds for these 'big' Victorian based sides over the last 2-3 years has been overt.

Toumpas finding it hard to find the ball tonight. Just the seven touches and a goal.

Yep that is a stinker of a crowd and tells you right now how unhappy pies fans have been this season. They are just no interested anymore. 

So Howe took a few hangers did he? Well that's nice.

I turned over from the Showdown for 2 minutes and Howe took a regulation mark. The commentators couldn't control themselves, wetting their chairs with excitement. Just the usual brain-cell killing dribble from Seven's Saturday night commentary team.

LOL. I said Toumpas costs us 2 games a year from momentum killing turnovers last year in the trade period. He just cost Port 1 game. He's a  ripper

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
