I'm not sure size is the mitigating factor here.

I hate to say it, but Toby Greene is a superstar.

There's no match up for him when the ball hits the ground.

Yep. He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player.

Oliver: An immature performance.

Pickett: Proving me wrong.

Mcdonald: Lost at sea.

Spargo: Good despite miss.

Rivers: lacks defensive iq 
* a bit harsh but a lot of his mistakes are costly.

We are in a good place and everyone chipped in when it was their turn, GWS got away with a lot of holding and crude tackles which caused them more pain than us.!!!

why rest forward. He can't kick straight for goal.

Gus mitigated a lot of the spread and pace GWS generated early. Could have gotten ugly if not for him, Langdon, Salem and Hunt early. They zoned well and stopped what was at the start a very quick moving Giants.

Interesting Joeboy.  I think your a bit harsh on some, we did win easily from quarter time. But  always good to see another’s views.

we were not perfect but I thought our back 6 worked it out really well. They will only get better with more games together. Tomlinson is far more composed than Omac or Frost ever was. Is frosty still playing for the hawks or is he injured ?

Rivers had 16 disposals at 100% efficiency, 2 contested marks and 3 score involvements playing at half back and last week he had 20 disposals at 90% efficiency, 4 score involvements and another contested mark. Not sure his IQ is much of a problem at this stage, he seems to make really good decisions with the ball in hand.

Plays with a maturity beyond his years.

" some of" ." Most of" more likely

If if wasn't for Hunt stinking up his run with his kicking we'd setting loose the hounds onto Brayshaw. 

Only Cam Bruce could  kick more up and unders   but he' d perfected the helicopter

Dr D, I reckon the ability to go forward and kick goals is the next part for Oliver to develop in his game, especially as he will continue to cop close attention from the opposition. It's probably the one thing that will take home from being an elite player to a superstar.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training.

    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

    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

    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
