Another very average performance by Trac today. 

He drastically needs to improve his tank over the next pre season and shed a few kilos if he’s going to become the player we think he can be in my opinion.

Is a run in the Magoos on the cards?

Probably the most uninspiring 50th game I can remember.

Needs to sort himself out or he will be at Casey quickly.

Nah.. he's too good for Casey but he does need some work.

A few quarters in the mid field or down back might wake him up. Really not sure but that's what we pay the coaching staff to work out.

Off to Casey after today.  Not sure what’s wrong?

Hasn’t gotten over his chance encounter with Lebron James and is too busy writing his AFL Hall of fame speech.

I would have zero hesitation in replacing him with Tyson right now.

Absolutely zero.

Could do with some time at Casey.    Might light a fire underneath him.... he seems to think it will all just happen for him and that hes a star already when hes been average all season.

Needs a wake up call and needs to stop cruising.

Busy practicing shooting hoops for the footy show

McGuire knew exactly what he was doing when he invited him onto the footy show before this game it's all gone to his head.

We got built up to be knocked down by all and sundry, we looked tired today no excuse  i hope my observations of today are right and we come back after the bye firing on all cylinders.

That made me puke. FFS -He'll be on Bachelor next. I don't think Trac is going to split the atom any time soon so where are the club's advisers.

Paging @stevethemanjordan

The bloke is definitely in a rut.  Hasn't been the same player since his finger injury.  He should be past that by now, though.

I know for a fact that McCartney loves him, but also acknowledges that he frustrates the coaches because he doesn't do the hard things often enough.  Will do the flashy thing, but sometimes won't run hard enough to get to position or run hard defensively.  He needs to build his tank and improve this if he wants to be a midfielder.

Petracca for Wines.

Fair swap.

Trac needs to be more selfish. passes too often when he could nail goal himself. This turns a 15 possession game into a 15 possession & 3 goal game

Definitely expected  more from him this year. Still think we will be a very good player, but he should shadow Oliver for the remainder of the year and the off season to get himself in the best shape possible.

Needs to lean down quite a bit.

Also not sure why Brayshaw was played on the wing all day? He has been killing it in the middle and I don't remember seeing him in the starting midfield setup at all in the 2nd half. Strange.

His goal kicking accuracy is woeful.

Port would laugh at that offer unless we also had a top 10 pick to go with the trade.

Horribly overrated on this board is Trac.

He has the physical attributes but I'm not sold on his footy smarts atm.

On form so far, I tend to agree.

Your boy Hyphen was exposed as having zero situational awareness today.  Needs to take the blinkers off.

Biggest disappointment of the year for mine. He’s capable of so much more but has gone backwards and just doesn’t seem to have the drive of others. He’s looking like a slightly better Sylvia at this stage.

    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
