Joel Smith hardly a surprise after Garland went down, with Hibberd and Wagner already unavailable.  Congrats and good luck to Joel.

Don't care what anyone says, we are a better team with Jetta in it.

Tell you what, we've been left in no doubt about Goodwin's attacking game plan. Jetta in makes me happy, Hannan is a surprise good luck to the kid, may he kick goals with his first three kicks. J

Yeah, that was the start of his end of season collapse where he just couldnt find the goals after that.

We were also coming off the Darwin game which wouldn't have helped

Team has been selected.

There are some big surprises!!!

That is all I can say.

A big surprise would be someone who didn't play JLT like Hannan.

If Tyson's out because "he's underdone", then it would be a surprise to see Kent who has had even less exposure.

Smith hardly a surprise with the injuries we have back there to medium talls.

Reading Goodwin's player reviews I think he likes ANB's pre-season and he may play ahead of others.

What is his skill that hurts the opposition? I don't see one.

At best he is serviceable IMO.

I don't have the mag with me so I can't exactly quote it but in essence Goodwin said he'd had a great pre-season and really plays the game the way we want it to be played.  I think he's a bit vanilla too but I'm just trying to read the tea leaves.

If Watts is not selected it is another stuff up by the new management. (The other was the co-captaincy)

Watts is clearly best 22... ok he could be better.... but this will make the weekend all about Watts and not about team improvement.

Hopefully Watts is selected... we have a win and can get the season away to a decent start. MFCSS says otherwise of course !!

Anyone who didn't play JLT and isn't considered "best 22" would be a big surprise:  Hannan, Pedersen, Kennedy, Trengove.  Jetta / Tyson / Kent / Garlett all have an element of surprise by virtue of limited JLT / Casey time.  We shall see.....

This has been a terrific pre-season in my view. Ive enjoyed it anyway. :)

The new frantic hard hitting approach must lead to a better start of season than any I can remember for at least 10 years.

Im happy to back the best 22 pinned onto the changeroom wall this afternoon.

Just tell us you [snip]

Rumours starting to pop up that maybe Hannan might debut.  Watts doing extra ruck duties at training. Guess we'll find out pretty soon.

All this anticipation coupled with some supposed surprises has me so worked up!

It's a real bonus living in WA and getting the teams announced 3 hours earlier than Vic.

    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

    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
