For all those clamoring for Pedersen, what speaks realms isn't that he wasn't picked this week, but that he wasn't picked last week. That we preferred an untried first-gamer over him says something about where he sits in the pecking order. Whether it's fitness or capability, I have no idea.

Surely we don't want to be going backwards by accepting performances at that level ...

You're implying that it's being accepted. I can't imagine that anyone at the club, or Weideman himself, think it's acceptable.

Also, I know that he hardly managed a touch last week, but equally, we had 32 shots on goal, so something must be working in the forward line, and Weideman must be playing some kind of role in that.

I have no doubt his stats were way better than the Weid. I gues it is not hard to have more than 4

I'll bet whatever you want that Weideman has more than 4 touches tomorrow.

Name your wager.

Not a bet any sane person would take. He only has to get 5 and u win. Would  be the worst odds ever offered. Even I am not that silly.

You really don't think that the best player gets picked every week do you? Last year there were 3 players better than OM in defencebut he got picked week after week. 

Which 3?

Very hard on Smith, one game then the chop. While the Wied doesnt clunk em, doesnt kick em, doesnt tap em.

But he is footy royalty apparently....

That comment is going to come back hard on u mate

Apologies if it has already been mentioned, but does anyone else think we need to put as much thought into Mundy as we do Fyfe?

Not playing down the danger that Fyfe presents, just thinking about it in terms of how effective Mundy has been, and how effective some close checking might on one of them or the other.

Mundy doesn't get quite as much of it as Fyfe, and quite a bit less contested, but he has actually been more damaging with it - kicking goals, creating goal assists, inside-50s, even wining more clearances, than Fyfe.

On the other hand, Fyfe simply isn't troubled by getting it contested, in close or through contested marks. Is there really much point having someone hanging off him if it will just add to his free kick count?

Personally I would suggest giving Dom Tyson the job on Mundy. Doesn't give away too much in height and arguably needs the clearly defined stopper responsibility to work himself back into some form.

I wanted Frost and Spencer in last week as I thought we were slightly  inexperienced and a tad short prior.Perhaps we should have won anyway.Given the missed shots.

Goody obviously doesn't know how to coach and select as well as me but that's ok, nobody is a knowledgeable about football or virtually anything else as I am.

In time my all knowing wisdom will be revered and respected and the lamb shall lay down with the rose,Mary .

Finally some clarity.

We lesser beings are empowered through mention of your presence

Bing from where I was sitting absolutely nothing worked well in our forward line last week. Remembering it was indoors so no random gusts of wind etc. The only match that made me feel more ill than last week's umpteen misses were some from the '87' prelim ? At least the players had some sort of excuse there....arctic Park (including a hand of God gale force swish of wind which saw an initially dead straight through the middle kick from Yater vere of its perfect trajectory in the last 10 meters which would have sealed the match ie, Big Jim would have been hugged instead of screamed at by Swooper) and playing one of the greatest teams of the modern era.

Well pedo's not playing this week so how could he cover the loss of Spencer or Watts if they get injured?

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
