Ok for this week's poll I'm going to phrase the question like this. Prior to the season would you have been happy with a 2 and 2 start? Forget the circumstances of the last two games and that we could have won both of them and been 4-0. Try to look at it through the lens of late last year/early this year. Would you have been happy with a 2-2 start?

I voted no - I felt we should be 3-1 at this stage, with the only loss I chalked down as being to the Cats.  I knew we could roll the Saints and I believed we had the Blues and Dockers well and truly covered.  I wouldn't say I'm disappointed to be 2-2 and in the 8 at this stage, but I'm not all that happy either.

Yes and no, 

i would say before the season I would have been happy to 

beat the dockers and blues but lose to the saints and cats but given our round 1 win my expectation was 3-1 so the freo loss stings a bit

same ... that Dockers game should have been a comfortable win in theory ... and ......

I had also pencilled in a win against Richmond so next week is a big one

2-2 was my worst acceptable scenario. Paint it however we like, we've let winnable games slip, but it's not a disaster.

Huge game on Monday night though.

For me it's all about this week, if we beat Richmond I will be happy to be 3-2.

youve got to look at the suspensions and injuries as well.

i just want to be ahead of the ledger and in contention for a spot in the eight at the halfway point and again more importantly finish anywhere in the eight at the end of the season for it to be deemed a successful season

    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.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
