Metricon with four games over the weekend.

Will be interesting to see how the surface holds up.

15mm predicted for Sunday and 45-60mm for Monday...lucky that wasn't Saturday and Sunday !

Cats and Pies for the first two matches

Cats showing that kicking skills reign supreme. They barely handball, always looking for short kick options.

Interestingly 4 of the top 5 teams have the lowest play on percentage. They mark, stop and create uncontested marking chains with short kicks.
Conversely we have the highest play on percentage in the league and are the worst team in the league over the last 18 months. Basically proof our gameplan is completely wrong and we need to slow down and hit a [censored] target.

9 goals in a row and they were playing ring a ring a rosie against us. They are making the Lions look like pretenders.

It sound like I've been on the whaky tabaki but if we make the necessary adjustments and clean our foot skills up we arent that far off.

Remember seeing a stat here last week. The team sitting second on the ladder has not won a game in 2020. The curse continues.

May be we weren't bad, just Geelong are very good.(i just threw up in my mouth).

Lions would be much better if they had any decent tall forwards.  Hipwood and McStay are very average.  If you keep Cameron quiet then you go a long way to beating them.

We have actually played some decent teams to kick off the year.  It's no excuse in terms of our skills and so forth, but I agree that if we can fix up the skills enough then we'll win more than we lose.

But are skills something that can just be “fixed up” or do skills = say natural ability that can’t be improved?

I honestly feel like we are the confidence building team. Teams comes up against us, the players in the middle give them enough of a tough run to make them compete hard but our skills and decision making is so bad that the other team ends up getting the win. They go on with confidence and play better, while we continue our trajectory of going nowhere.

You watch Richmond will hit some form now.

    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. 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
