Sure did, but he's busted his guts out for 3 weeks in a row now

Get him out of the ruck!

Yes please. It's killing us.

If only we had someone like say Pedo from norf then you could put Wattsy up forward to kick a few snags and let Hoges do more SFA'll when he's ready !

They played their hearts out and dominated for three quarters with little return for a great effort But losing Spencil, Smith before half time and Petracca limited from early in the game was to much to overcome in the last, should have been 5-6 goals up with all our forward 50 entries. Go Dee's!!!

Could of, Should of, would of?

Yes we dominated most of the game for the third week in a row & came up short.

It's just not good enough anymore. Sure we have been smashed with injuries & suspensions but we need to start winning these games no matter what the circumstance. Good teams always find away to crawl over the line. Yes we have improved but we shouldn't be accepting these results.... We reload & go again?

I really liked Petracca's intensity around the ball early on when the game was hot. I thought we was tough, creative and made things happen for us. A big reason we got so many forward 50 entries in the first half.

Obviously the knee knock slowed him down after that.

As did his attrocious Kick to Geelong player backwards

Two Rank, under 12 Errors have cost us momentum and Games. Get him OUT!

Frost - really impressed me

ANB - racking up possessions

It's been so long since we had such a strong team, yet we've lost 3 in a row. The suspensions and injuries are having such a huge impact.  And Collingwood have played Essendon into form.

For heavens' sake! Have a look at his stats, his tackles, his overall games, don't concentrate on a couple of errors

More rubbish, after a defeat? Tyson had 23 disposals, ranking third in the team. Watch it again and you can see how valuable he was

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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. 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
