shocking decision making by melksham to try to tap it rather than take possession

Not if Jones hadn't dropped it. The best teams in the Comp use the knock, flick, tap incredibly well.

Nice finish.

Salem = BOG in first half.

Yep, he's been terrific.  Great decision maker.  Brayshaw and, surprisingly, Smith were close behind.

Inevitable Dogs comeback, you don't win a flag without some class in your side.  Good to go in ahead at half time and we can re-boot and have another crack in the second half.

Along with half the competition we're trying to emulate the bulldogs style.

All this blowing smoke up the Dogs backside is giving me the irrits. 

Get used to it. As the reigning premiers, everything they do is automatically the best and to be fawned over.

We look a lot sharper than last year, but dogs are a good side with the wind behind them! 

Smith and Salem have been great

liking brayshaws game so far as well

Joel Smith = Round 1 lock to play on Membrey. Salem move to midfield will make a massive difference. Too many of our players are getting sucked inside the contest leaving free dogs on the outer contest for the handball flicked out.

These commentators can talk some smack. Gerard Healy was impressed with Wagner's speed off half back last year. WTF? He's as slow as a turtle (has some other, good traits of course). I'm no doctor but Wagner's injury might be an achilles. Sad for him.

Joel Smith will play 100+ games for us, lock it in.

That's their big party trick ..... need to work out the counter if the umps are not going to police the questionable handballs

We're winning right ? :unsure:

It wouldn't surprise me if Gerard confused Wagner for Hunt.

Spot on with your last comment, but that's the beauty of not only the pre-season but also playing a good side.  We can look at what we can fix and what we're doing wrong.  Apart from their run on I'm very happy with how we look at the minute.

At the ground where we just kicked into the wind. Was howling when Wieds took his kick hence the poor trajectory.

Positives:

- Smith is a player

- Salem is all class and involved a lot

- Jones and Viney involved in everything

- VB Cans only $5

- Trac and Bradshaw both busy

 

Negatives

- too Hogan conscious in the first quarter

- need some beater kicks and not bombing going inside 50

- easy goals from WB from half forward

- TMac having a pretty sour game so far

Wouldn't surprise me if Gerard confused Wagner for Gawn.

Shouldn't this be on it's own in the 'Major Positives' section?

    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

    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

    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
