Hawkins does exactly the same thing whenever he feels he can't take the mark.

just as the big men should.

Plugger Lockett would not have been so kind,  in 'HIS' territory...

I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug, these two very sad losses to their line-up have won us games over the past couple of years and there is a strong likelihood of them both regularly excelling from now on for the MFC thanks to our 'muscle' recruiting wins for 2019. Carna Dees!

Deep down in our clubs psyche... I think we are all tFearful for poor old Essendrug.

And of the Hawks except that the Hawks are a different club, these days.

the Roos to a lesser extent, and this fear grew out of trying to be a 'prim and proper'. politically correct club...  This stemmed from Northern stand attitudes.

 

And at the same era's, did our inability to develop our kids... and to maintain the rugged Footy Club culture.

# Exhibit A... of what happens to our clubs footy culture, and the growth of bruise free footy.  This is why  'bruise free'  continues to creep back in... after we have exorcised it from within.

 

This is how it regrows...  this  'non contact type philosophy'  does not fit with the rest of   the AFL Footy Competition... and belongs on a soccer field,  where  hard tackling and physically hard contact are frowned upon.

 

This is how our Footy Clubs Culture, continually gets pulled down and torn apart from within,  by politically correct others.

What if Bruiser turns out to be a player, not a thug. We should not expect him to be the "pack crasher" just because he is bigger than most. My memory of the 50s and 60s is of a skillful, talented team and we won games for that reason and no other.

I would prefer him to take marks or create crumbing opportunities and forget about all these other issues.

What a load of cows excrement, you have a serious chip on that shoulder of yours DV8. It is the 21st century and thugs are no longer tolerated. Get used to it. I love tough footy but cheating is cheating and whether it be drugs or illegal tactics it has no place in today's sport.

I am not calling for punches, or to knock opponents... like was done in the 70's and 80's... but to bruise them with some intent.  To create pain.

I am not talking about thuggery Mandee  !!!

 

I am talking about physically softening up opposition and intimidating to distract.  

 

Are you a cricket follower, ManDee ? I think the chip is on your shoulder mandee in the way you read my words. colouring in your own palette.

I don't want thugs... I want intimidation players, who will bruise opponents... just as Neita did on occasions. as Whelan did, as Viney does...

 yes deliberately bruise opponents. make them feel the pain of heavy contact to the body.

 

but No, not the Thuggery, of yesteryear.

They are all coached to hurt, just legally, as Nev did to Mitchell in the semi

 

Nev cops way more than his fair share, he just doesn’t whinge about it. Only fair that he is able to dish out some as well.

Max will struggle to get a game

The drill was one guy to actually get the ball after 'a bit of contact' it didn't develop that way,  for all the pairs, obviously to the delight of the coaches, who did nothing to discourage the more robust approach to the drill

Well we've been getting used to political correctness at the Dees, for the past 50 Yrs, and I still haven't got used to the feeling of losing... whilst we fly the johnny be good flag.

 

It's not cheating if your not charged with anything, Mnd.

So the rest of the competition tries to bend the rules all the way, before they are broken, and to get away with things...  whilst you continue to NOT cheat in some politically correct fantasy of your own making....  but what is that exactly???   when other clubs are taking ALL their opportunities... and the flags.

 

Do you pay all the tax you should...  or do you bend the rules,  just a bit, MnD ?

 I bet you do not answer...  just come out to throw shyte, and hide.

When the amount you’re selling is under the prescribed amount required to be declared as trafficking.

Anyhoo..back to training, I’m on the red-eye tonight to Melbourne, depending on how my morning pans out I’m going to try to swing by for a look. I’ve pressed my chaps just in case.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    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
