I'm watching the game and it's the Dees game all over again, but in reverse. Whatever we had last week, obviously it was contagious.

- Saints can't take a trick out of the middle and are being smashed in the clearances.

- Any time they try to run it out of defence, they hit a wall thanks to Brisbane's pressure

The only difference is that where we had Robbo and Neitz managing goals despite utterly pathetic supply, Gehrig and co can't get near it. Just goes to show how fickle form is in AFL footy.

i was thinking the EXACT same thing.

Hudgton is injured, meaning they have a short bench. They are making huge errors and plyaing poor footy.

The lions cant do a thing wrong.

Couldnt agree more with you!

Another contrast to last week was the free kick count. At one stage it was 12-5 in Brisbane's favour.

It's the Old Doppelganger Game Plan Trick. Seems to be quite virulent. We'll need to watch how it effects the Lions next week.

While the Saints only had the one injured player the Runner did strain a calf and could play no further part in proceedings.

The game last night was the first bit of footy I've watched since last Friday's disgrace.

It was great to see the Saints lose, but god it makes you wonder why Brisbane can get it right, and we can't.

Btw, Brisbane's kids are looking great. They won't be on the bottom again for a while.

maybe....

Would Mathews put up with the waxxing and waning of certain Dee's game ?

Would Mathews allow a personal journey to a record, despite any real week in week out display of obvious talent ?

and the best til last..

would Mathews persist in a game with a tactic that was so obviously crucifying his team??

Matthews is a very intelligent coach. He manages to not only extract the best from what he has, but does enough homework on the other team. He's frustrate two teams in a row & prevented them from playing their game style. To a point where they lose confidence & begin to turnover the ball big time.

The experts are saying that the Hawks & Saints didnt go out there to play crap, they were forced to by the lions choking game style.

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
