Nice mini comeback where we started surging and just chaosballing it forward. ANB's hard running paid off by getting to the right spots. I still struggle to see this as a forward structure that can kick winning scores though.

Backline brilliant, May and Lever holding everything together. Not the biggest Tomlinson fan but he's having a go.

I know we're running a second rate midfield but our missed tackles and lack of manning up is disappointing.

I reckon our forward entries have improved and Jones is playing really well as a half forward.

Lever and May (and the dogs kicking) have kept us in it.

Would be great to steal this game.

Really loving ANB game. His work rate is first class.

Not my favourite Demon, but played a great first half and making me eat my words.

Long to gawn.... very predictable. We have been doing this for far too long. It might work out in a praccy but never will in a real game

We are a team so heavily reliant on winning clearances, that when we are missing 3 of our best clearance players, it really shows. We are chasing tail which is understandable. Also Salem missing from Half Back has resulted in a lot of terrible ball movement from the backline. Basically we are doing ok considering who we are playing and what we are playing.

With Tom our only key forward, why is he never up there leading out to the ball carrier? Fritsch is one out against 3 every time.

James Jordon is so far ready for senior footy. Drops a simple mark then gives away a silly free kick. 

Hasn't impressed at all.

He's rubbish. Sorry

Watching at the ground yoy can really see how much running he does and how much distance he covers. Super important with 30 min qs and 75 rotations

Bacline playing well. Midfield too depleted. Forwards I won't mention but they are trying. We badly need Oliver, Brayshaw and Viney playing.

ANB forward and mid has been exceptional and May and Lever have kept us in it. We have gotten better as both quarters progress which is a good sign. Forward structure very much a work in progress. You wouldn’t be trembling if you were a dockers backman. I would play LJ ruck and Gawn forward for a lot of the second half.

Tmac, 3 disposals, 1 of those a turn over resulting in a goal (and a 2nd almost the same).  Bloke is still cooked.

Nice push by the fat spud in Josh Bruce

The umpire had good vision of that! That is a perfect example of why that rule was created, push the guy forward when he is in the air so you can take the mark. Unbelievable miss. Yet umpires will pay in the back if you fall onto someone who is already on the ground!

The best thing to happen in season 2021 so far is the return of normal length quarters. They are really helping us!

oliver, brown, Weideman, Salem, Kozzy, Hibberd, Brayshaw, Viney, Melksham

thats 9 that I can count

I've been really disappointed in our younger players. None of them look up to it unfortunately. Who picks these blokes ?

 

Spargo would struggle to get a kick at vfl

Yep

But a good hit out for the rest,  and pleasingly competitive

Let's see them maintain 4 qrts

Considering we have 3 of our top four mids out and our main big two targets injured , it’s not a bad effort by a team trying out some kids against the best midfield in the comp

Has made a few blues, but he is yet to debut at AFL level and he is improving as the game goes on.

He is also up against arguably the best midfield in the AFL.

Simpleton comment.

    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
