Carlton mate showed me a stat this morning. 

Marchbank: Metres gained - Minus 13. Is that even possible for a full game? 

Sadly, some of our past players might have him on that pre Roos.  Don't want to mention names as they did their best but we consistently handballed in circles and backward to a player under pressure until we turned it over.  Painful. 

As an aside, there are so many similarities Bolton to Neeld: lauded as a teacher, talked up by their premiership winning coach, acid tongue when under pressure demoralising players (altho Bolton hides it better behind his childish smile).  Rubbish game plan.  Both clubs shambolic off field with poor player development. And they play 'bruise free' football?

It amazes me how they had a template of what not to do (MFC) yet they have copied it to a T.

Two consecutive 10 goal floggins from bottom 4 clubs and players aren't playing for him.  He will really feel the blowtorch now.  So glad it isn't us anymore.

Their injury list is horrific to be fair. Although other than Docherty their outs would only have made a difference around the margins.

They need to do an independent full club reiview. Football department, administration, recruting, fitness and medical staff... the whole kit and caboodle looks to be a shambles.

What amazes me is some Carlton fans think that Tyson would be surplus to their needs. He’d be their second best inside mid by a mile. They don’t even know how to help themselves.

True their injury list is a problem but I suspect they wouldn't make much difference. 

The bigger problem is they traded away their better players:  Betts, Garlett, Waite, Gibbs, Robinson, Touey, Henderson and I'm sure there are others.   It was very deliberate to get picks for SOS to take to the draft so they now have a bunch of talented kids who are suffering.

Tyson would take a lot of the load off Cripps.  He would be really good for them.  I have to say I really admire Cripps.  Reportedly he is playing with a number of injuries.  He is playing so well that he is regularly BOG and second on the Coaches vote table.

In my first ever game of under 12s,  I only got one kick. 

It slewed off the side of my boot and through for a point to the opposition.

SOS offered you a contract yet?

Brizzy win would be huge for us.

Only 9 down at the half.  Let’s what belief the6 have built up.  Anyone gong to tag Mitchell?  Or is his huge DT score at half time, high possession but not effective one?

Hoping  for other losses is a sine qua non for a dees supporter. Go lions.

Brizzy have drafted very well the last few years, They have some serious talent and  are developing their kids nicely.

Basically the total opposite of Carlton.

Fagan has a good steady approach to improving teams, helped us in the late 90s, then moved to hawks and nor Brissie.  A very long apprenticeship to get where is at Brisbane,

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
