Defeating the Eagles in Round 1 at Optus and me escaping the ground without getting punched in the mouth.

Fritta to play every game, therefor kicking 50 plus goals. 

I want to see either a Sparrow or Jordan fight for a regular spot, investment wise it was big decision to draft these types of players when it wasn't a priority so they need to start to push hard for selection.

It will be great if one or both of them come on this season and it sounds like there's every reason to have some confidence that will happen. 

Pick 27 and Pick 33 doesn't sound like a big investment to me, compared with say the pick 3 and pick 10 investment this year - "now that's a knife"

What "types" are they and which players do you think we missed out picking there?

Love to beat the West Coast in Perth round 1  convincingly to the tune of 10 goals and make that statement. Could set us up for  the remainder of the year.

I like to see Petracca  kick 7 straight goals in a match winning display in the Queens birthday game.

Being free of any major injuries.

Dont get me wrong im not really critical of them, i just thought we had other areas we should have addressed rather than an inside mid and half back flanker.

 

The investment is pick 6 for May and KK could have been King, would be very handy. but thats teh draft for you, full of what ifs. i just hope they can have an impact and show something.

A game plan! 

A system that doesn't involve hit-and-hope balls kicked to the top of the square. Or a system that doesn't press too far and leave opposition running into open, easy goals. Where the midfield are not bees to a honeypot and no one plays outside...

Other than that. Players played in correct positions. Team selection based on form/fitness.

Shepherding.

Like, you mean a team mate getting between one of our players with the ball and an opposition player who's intent on mowing him down ??

What purpose wouldn't that serve ??

Shepherding, yes shepherding. That seems like a pretty good idea. Oh ...........and Weideman dominating a game at full forward.

All of the above, esp. Steve McQ keeping his teeth.

Depending on their size, I’d back myself in to handle a few of the Meth-Head’s anyway.

In my case, I'd beat them in a fight by 50m.

    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.
