If Carlton can kick 18 what does that tell you?

St Kilda didn’t turn up.

tell's me they had a purple patch. they've been as inaccurate as us for most of the season

Not sure if it’s the Olympics, or a learned behaviour to emotionally protect myself, but as our form slips I feel like I am slowly disengaging from the season.

we need to find a way to hold onto the top 4 and then have the week off to re-group for an assault to the summit - and then I can get really excited again.

GC are in slightly worse form than us but are at home.
50-50 game I reckon. 
unless we get our fwd line connection working a lot better this will be very close.

This is season defining today. A good solid win can be the springboard into the next (hopefully) 8 weeks. A loss and we will most likely finish 5th or 6th and a potential early finals exit, and after the start to the season we had, this would be a huge fail.

This is on the leaders today. They need to show the way and get the team back playing the type of football that is way too good for teams like the Suns. If they don't, then I have serious doubts about whether this list can take us to where we want to be. Over to you Max, Jack, Jake........

Expecting a five goal plus win. We'll correct the goal kicking woes and enjoy some added run with Bowey and Sparrow. Think we'll be a bit too physical for their kids.

We also need to tag Touk Miller.

Sadly that is so true.

I got a good feeling we’ll finally respond to this horrible run of form today and win comfortably. 
 

It’s time for Ben Brown to step up and kick a bag. If he can find some form over the next few weeks I will go into September with far more confidence.

Dont know what to think.

I believe we could win but overall my level of enthusiasm seems to have been dented very much.

Its hard to shake our total slump in form and I wonder know if the boys really want a flag.

I guess its put up time and we will see.

Talent and injuries are not an issue.

Its all a question of motivation.

Today we find out something about the DNA that Goody keeps mentioning in his pressers.   
How hard are we prepared to work to protect the gains already made this season?  Are we prepared to sacrifice individual accolades for the good of the team?  Do we have it in us, to fight our way out of a form slump (like champion teams do)?  Are we serious contenders?
Critical game with enormous consequences for our season.

I can't see how we will be able to fly out from GC to Perth tonight.

They've got a 'quarantine corridor' 

Ps... really sorry for you and the last minute announcement/derailment of attending the game.

Far out, so hard to get excited about anything these days. Play 5 minute quarters so we can be out by 4pm.

That sucks about COVID - world seems like it takes 2 steps forward and 1 back. We'll get there!

God I wish we could just smash a team by 10+ goals and be able to sit back and enjoy it. 

Praying BB kicks 4+

Anyone know how much goes into the Club that wins the GF this year? Is it usually the same?

I saw some of the Blues scores last night between ads on Ch7 Olympics coverage.   Was it 14 gls 2 behinds at one stage?

I saw that with dismay at would could have been the back end of our season if we had done that only once or twice.

Seems to be a lot of that.

The energy and excitement that propelled us to an incredible start seems to have dried up and vanished. Its not just the supporters.

Maybe they can recapture that mindset and performance but its hard to see it happening after the Hawks game.

This is a group of players who can beat anyone....have almost zero injuries but has a signficant problem now between the ears.

If Goody can turn it around and brings us back to the club we were for the first twelve weeks he will be a master coach.

    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

    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
