Shin injury has his leg speed down I reckon.

Wow 23 inside 50s for just 3 goals. Our forward line is a joke. Who is our forward coach?

With Jones and Vince down on output it's exposing a young group that has run out of gas.

We've ridden our luck to some extent playing a team of babies every week. This has been coming.

Yay, this discussion again!

I'm looking forward to the Demonland off season so I can stop reading this garbage.

So you're blaming the supporters ?

Funny , thought it was the players/coaches position to change the fabric of discussion.

Maybe if the gave a damn, we might

It's not the forward line mate. Are you watching the game?

I'm not really expecting us to do much better next year.  I reckon 10th or so.

Yes players will be incrementally more experienced, but we don't have the pace or the polish in the right areas.  

Jones and Vince will be another year older.

But the main issue is, we just have too many dumb footballers.  Even if we're super competitive, a simple turnover is going to be right around the corner.  Occasionally it's all going to click i.e the Hawks game, but on the whole we're going to struggle for consistency again.  

Hogan is turning out to be anything but 'the answer' at this stage.

I shudder to think what might happen if Gawn gets injured.

Saints, Pies, Carlton, Essendon, maybe Tigers will all be fighting us for maybe one spot in the 8.  I reckon at least 3 of those sides will be ahead of us next year.

Yes it is. 0 tackles between watts Weeds and Hogan.

We're handing Roos his worst loss ever as a coach as a parting gift. I'm ashamed to be part of this club today. Truly embarrassing.

Yeah again, are you watching the game or just reading stats? Seen what the skills have been like, particularly inside 50?

Yes I have seen the skills inside 50 by our forwards. I also have seen the goal kicking skills of our forwards. I also have seen the lack of pressure by our forwards. But yeah....it isn't our forwards apparenty...

Clearances - 27 to 16

Cont Pos - 96 to 68

Tackles 50 to 37

1 kick so far that has actually been to a forward target.

But yeah, totally the forward line's fault that they are smashing us in the middle and have better skills going inside 50.

Can't believe the negativity & pessimism ...I'm having my say now & then farewelling this forum to the same few who delight in trotting out the same pathetic platitudes every time this team doesn't live up to their lofty expectations...Gawn played as a lone ruckman all season ...cooked ...Viney..jones & vince carried the brunt of the midfield & are all again cooked & carrying various injuries ...the rest of our extremely young & talented team are quite simply ready for the off season ...thank you paul Roos for a season I thoroughly enjoyed ...I have hope & optimism & these last two games won't define my season or your tenure...I look forward to watching the progress of this exciting & talented young team under Goodwin & even though it will be difficult ...I will temper my expectations accordingly .....but how great is it that we can "now dare to dream "!!

    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
