Great news! i used to hate this guy in the past as a backman with his poor foot skills and decision making, now I love him as a forward for his straight kicking. I love the turn around! 

It makes me wonder why he wasn't trialled as a forward earlier in his career. He was a forward as a junior, and whether we needed key position defender is irrelevant when he is a lot better as a forward. 

Last week at the dogs game, I noticed Oscar Mcdonald having shots for goal and he was slotting them beautifully with great technique. I wonder whether he could go forward in the same manner. On the other side, I wonder if Weideman could play back. He has the speed  and aerial prowess but he wouldn't need to mark it. Simply bring it to ground. Food for thought.

Not sure he is ready yet but under the right circumstances i wouldn't mind seeing this trialed either.   Worth a look when the timing's right and might become a solid tall defender for us.

Another "happening"" that reflects well on the Club and the player. 

Deal done quietly and quickly, not allowing rumour mongers to spin their web of deceit.

Honesty and goodwill on both sides.

Brilliant, brilliant news. Tom is an absolute gun and four years is the minimum contract length I was hoping for. That will see him right through the prime of his career, and will hopefully ensure he is a Demon for life. Well done to all involved.

Now for Oscar and Gus.

Who in their right mind would want to leave this club anyway?

The place is buzzing and we’re on the cusp of something special

Oh yes Right on

now i can board my flight to Cambodia in a relaxed vibe

TMac is the most important player on this list. 

Demons can still win this year...

Great stuff , bad news for demonland , less conjecture posts and less revenue:)

I'd gladly give it all up for a Premiership. This signing brings us one step closer. ?

Its hard to disagree with this point. His flexibility to play multiple roles as required to an elite standard is potentially the difference between us being good or great. Making up the numbers or having a serious shot.

We got better as soon as he went forward 

he takes grabs and rarely misses

I suspect he wanted to play with Gaff next season, hence the re-signing.

 

Great news. Thanks Tom.

Interesting. What do you base that on? Are they school chums?

The senior players at this club are leading by example and buying in. You could see the delight on the skipper as he was chaired off the ground last week.  And a week earlier Pedo was a great team mate cheering and clapping every player as they came off the ground at Alice.

Fantastic.
Was pretty confident he'd stay to play with his brother now we're on the rise.
Absolutely stoked to have his name on the dotted line.

    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
