Why dont we man up the spare in defence. We're smashing them around the ground and just hitting the spare every time we go forward.

Hard to know if we are playing well as GC are putrid 

I was disappointed in the last 5 minutes

Disappointed.  Not that we didn't score more,  but we got lazy in our structure/ defensive transition,  and too cute with disposal.

I don't care about the margin,  but expect us to execute in the areas that have let us down when under pressure.

5 goal to 3 quarter in which we had 80% possession ...nothing fantastic

They’ve definitely concentrated on shutting the game down and it’s worked. They’ve got 2 extras in our forwardline.

That Sexton goal from the wing showed how strong the wind is. But who's playing on him, he has 3 to half time

Not actually playing that well and deserve a bit of a hard chat at half time.

Nice to be winning well but this GC seconds side would struggle against Casey.

Lost a bit of momentum there when we came through the middle and kicked it straight to them about 5 times in a row.

Regardless of the scoreboard, if we turn the ball over like that against a real team we will get smashed.

Live ladder is 131.1%.  Keep it going, and don't let up Demons!

but that is the usual way we are shut down in that we pack our own forward line.

Against a team like GCS we should be easily able to take that form of defence apart.

Because we would be 3rd - and firmly in the top 4 ahead of the pies!

I know it's ridiculous to complain when you're up by 6 4 points at half time, but I only watched the last 3 minutes of that quarter and we looked sloppy AF! Why the hell our players keep handballing in circles when directly in front of goal and under pressure, I'll never understand. Petracca could've had a shot at goal but handballed to a Sun's player and the ball ended up right down the other end. 

Then Vanders had that terrible miss under no pressure running into the 50. Once again, the Suns get an easy transition straight down the other end with an open player in their 50 and, naturally, they score a goal after the siren. 

This is the lazy stuff we desperately need to clean up if we want to beat the quality teams in the next month and stand any chance of winning finals. 

Anyway, Go Dee's!

C'mon Demons, step it up again and hammer it home

Based on today JKH, Vanders and Vince to hopefully be replaced by Viney, Melksham and Hibberd respectively

You may be right but let's give Vanders a bit more time.

I reckon you could have just stopped at your first line mate ;)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
