The KK one is super harsh.  He has had one VFL game and not a whole lot of time to fit in with the side yet.  At least give him a little time before we throw a word like 'reject' around.

Gameplan:  Needs fine tuning.

I thought Gawn deserved Brownlow votes, but Joeboy didn’t consider his game worthy of comment.

The umpires weren’t looking at us, so even Clarrie will be lucky to get votes with 44 touches and 12 clearances.  It will be all ‘danger!’

Umps killed us. When is it holding the ball???? When is it dropping the ball? When is a flick pass legal????

playing at geelong as usual is a big hurdle for any visiting side. We seem to always cop Geelong home games. It seems to be a bit like playing in eagleland. Crowd is onsided and the umpires bow their wishes. A lot of poor free kick decisions many going the cats way. Not that it would have changed the results it just would have made our loss a little fairer, and possibly not quite so bad.

When is holding your ground, blocking? Poor Nev has been done twice in two weeks for blocking, ending in goals and all he did was have front position in a contest and hold his position with a ball coming in. This forced his opponent to try to jump over him to touch the ball. Pinged for blocking!!! Don’t get it.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
