I remember TItus O'Reilly talking about on his podcast how GWS were often the butt of his jokes (saying they only had two supporters) because he would constantly get heckled on twitter by GWS supporters who said it wasn't true.  The only problem was that it was always the same two supporters... so in some ways it reinforced his point!

 

This game though I'm a little nervous for - surely at some point in the year things will click for GWS (even if its only a game or two).  We don't have a good record at Manuka and these are the games (after a week of the media singing our praises) that we have a history of dropping.

I was under the impression that the Rooty Hill RSL never closed. It had to stay open to ensure there was still somewhere for people to punch on once the curfew was imposed on the inner city.

Anyway, in tribute to the game being up in the village in the hills we should really be referring to the mighty, mighty Canberra Hellenic Club.

Don't laugh too heartily - I made the mistake of flicking through a Sydney paper in a cafe the other day and sure enough GWS had been "lucky to still be close in the game against St Kilda, courtesy of some generosity from the referees."

I read somewhere that the AFL are considering moving a bunch of Collingwood supporters to Western Sydney and thus improving the IQ of both places. (an oldie but a goody)

I think it's disrespectful not to appreciate the effort that the paper went to to translate the English language into the Sydney language.

Although the AFL using NRL referees would go a long way towards explaining the quality of umpiring decisions...

NRL refs have been pretty good so far this year. Certainly less [censored] decisions in 3 rounds than 1 game at Geelong.

Why do I get the feeling that the few supporters GWS have will be using this as LOL material should they roll us on the weekend?

Half a dozen good players, a few quality kids and that’s it. Looking at their 22, GWS should be bottom 6 this year. The guts have been ripped outta them.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
