We're making terrible decisions. May has saved our backsides too many times already.

For the few times we've made it into the forward 50, who's taking the marks? Almost like we could do with somebody tall out there! What's the gameplan here!?

Getting smashed in the centre clearances. Also leave McDonald, fritta or Jackson in the 50 so we have a target. 

This is not top of the ladder football

Yep why do we always tap the ball behind, dominate ruckman and we hit it behind, if we don't win it gives them an easy clearance

Here at the ground. We are nowhere near it. Flat as a tack. GWS will win this by at least 6 goals. Forward line is dysfunctional. Good bye top 4

Fox sports commentary fails to call it a duck

It's disgusting. And to cap it off, with that weasel Greene.

Why is it that we take forever to get going?

Plus our entries into 50 ?. Even a half good Brown would get the ball to ground from which our smalls could rove. FMD, it’s sooooo simples.

We take forever to get it in because we look up and see a midget fleet as our only options inside 50. Appalling non selection. Teams have worked out our game plan and we just stick to the same old stuff

Of all our 22.. Hibbo makes me most concerned. Very nervous, fumbles and often ball watches.. need Lockhart in

Despite my pillorying of Eddie over other matters, he is calling this game well.

Goody: Right boys, we really need to fix our mid forward connection so we need to lower our eyes when going forward.

ANB: Are we going to bring a key forward in, Goody?

Goody: We've already got him, mate. You'll be our lead up forward this week.

ANB: ?

3 highest possession winners for the quarter were defendets. Oliver ineffective.

Poorest forward connection for a top team ever. 

Gws system and connection far superior.

    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
