Sad,   but if we make it 4 losses in a row this week vs Freo it will be clear most of the list doesn't care about finals or success and have no respect for the club or supporters.

 

I think your anxiety around missing finals and your love of the red and blue and how much it means for you for the red and blue to be in finals to validate your existence - is clouding your judgements towards  some assortment of dudes who happen to be drafted into some red and blue colours and are also striving for the same success... 

Good grief - no respect for supporters? don't care about finals? 

4 losses in a row is an exemplar of that? Really? 

The players don't play for me - they've never met me - nor do they fist pump pre match and go - let's do it for the supporters... that'd be media speak.

You can't tell me or anyone on the forum straight faced that the effort hasnt been there - perhaps our own expectations are misguided of where the group is really at right now - perhaps THAT's what needs to change.

Agree and feel aside from missing Lever, Spargo would have been handy the last two weeks!

Not the week for two first games in Kielty & Baker, particularly after Petty last week.

Outs: Petty Tyson Hannan

Ins: Frost Stretch & Garlett or Spargo

All faster than who they are replacing, and am tempted Spargo for Weideman or ANB.

Just because had a poor game doesn't mean every debutant is is going to play poorly.

Keilty has had 4 years in the system and Baker is a pacey wingman exactly what we need. Totally different players to Petty.

they put the simon's selections video up early on youtube and then yanked it down

garlett, spargo, frost and one other (can't remember who) for hannan, petty, weideman, and tyson

_ playing in Darwin isn't nonsense, but not having a bye the week after is... These two have to work in hand, or it is troublesome.

.

I'm pushing for us to Bookend Naidoc Week in July,,, in the Alice.

A Friday or Saturday night game in Alice, to welcome Naidoc Week.

And a closing Twilight Sunday match.

... Both games Free2Air .

A fortnight away in JULY in the Territory. 

 

Hopefully its school holidays at the time?  This would be excellent for the players at this time of year, as a freshen,,, up in the warmth.

More power to positive innovative ideas! Yes school holidays commenced Monday 2nd of July through until Friday 19th of July. According to Goody's press conference team are scheduled to arrive today, Thursday and train at Marrara stadium 10:30 am tomorrow morning. Weather has been warm and windy daytime early Gurrulwa perhaps, today winds are more moderate though. Evenings swing back to more like Dinidjanggama with heavy dew forming. Awaiting selection news hopefully skilled footballers like Billy Stretch will get a call up and be on the flight up here. Your top-end correspondent team are both basking in the most pleasant dry season climes awaiting Saturday nights game with anticipation.

One good thing is they have gone smaller which is needed on a slippery deck.

If this group do not show up this week and lose, I sense the club should prepare for a hammering from traumatised supporters.

Just for a change ! 

Could try total silence, now that would be a change.

Fortunately, a win coming up to temper the mood.

Tough on Petty and Weideman to come in and go straight out.

But the replacements are much better suited for the humid/slippery conditions which will favour small and speedy players.

dunno if it was stretch - i was watching and then the vid disappeared as they removed it

ch 7 won't be happy that they've gone early and broken the 6.25pm moratorium on team changes

They've done it a few times on different platforms...

Tough on Petty, but he had to go.  The selectors should apologize to the boy for his original selection and tell him that he is not suited to the ground or weather conditions. Any lie will do.  He needs support and encouragement.

Agree Ernest, among the best performed from last Saturday's Casey Demons televised game.

Melbourne is shorter odds at $1.83 to win by 40+ than it is to win by 1-39 (around $2.10).

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but hey... it's footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

    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
