Viney:  "Apparently there is going to be the biggest fireworks display going on at half-time as well, so it will be pretty spectacular.”

That should be fun to witness from close range.

Whilst most pundits agree we are the best side in the competition it is counted by many alluding to us becoming complacent, drinking bathwater, arrogant etc as if it’s a reality.

Whilst we're on Jack, he was the guest on the recent Gus and Gawny podcast. He revealed that he approached Goody and Richo before the GF, and asked if it was okay to line up a Dogs player at the opening bounce, and accept whatever suspension. Goody and Richo said no. He still cleaned up Macrae, and didn't cop a suspension.

Good I’m glad they said no. We don’t need that sort of thing tainting our club or our win. 
Winning fairly is much better. We beat the Dogs because we played better for longer and had the internal fortitude to fight back when we were down. We didn’t need to hurt anyone to get the job done. We were good enough.

I'm expecting some fireworks after half time. The kind that makes a bang-bang-bang sound.

Does Viney want one flag and then go back to weekly 10+ goal hidings? Like hell he does. He wants to stay on top and exact years-long revenge. Similar May.

With guys like that in the team, I can't see complacency setting in.

Tomlinson an offensive rebounding defender? Do these guys actually watch football? Tomlinson was very much a lockdown defender who was rarely given licence to be too offensive.

Viney's demeanor is quite different to Libba's.  Jack sounds and looks confident Libba much less so.  Not sure if that is Libba's usual media demeanor or video editing. 

If the teams play like those leaders present my confidence of a win has gone up.

Listening to Gus and Gawny, Jack is in for a very big year. 

Unlike the last 4-5 years, his foot is in great shape, he has barely missed a training session and has become an elite runner. 

Scary!

…….

For me now, Libba’s usual demeanour is him, time and time and time again, chasing Melbourne players out of the centre square moments before we kick a goal.

Agreed.  He dropped his head a few times when he tried to chase during our late 3 qtr blitz.

What is being reported of the Bulldogs looks like a flat team.  Not sure if they are foxing and will come out like a tornado or are not physically or mentally ready.  They have a few key players out injured, some underdone, Hunter's form, Smith troubles with police in Queensland.  Not an ideal off-season.  They will build into the season but tomorrow night will be telling.

I think the scary thing is that the players are in the 2nd season of development with Mark Williams who does not believe that players ages are irrelevant and constant improvement of players like Oliver, Petracca, Brayshaw, Neal-Bullen, Pickett, Jackson, Langdon, Rivers, Bowey, Sparrow, Jordan, Salem, Spargo, Fritsch, Petty, Lever, Harmes, Tomlinson, Hunt, Dunstan, Weideman, J Smith and Viney will be the catalyst for a good season.

The player mentioned are either in their prime or on the cusp of prime, we have 6 players over 30 which is a bonus some just turned 30 like May, Melksham and Gawn with the oldest player in the club being Hibberd at 32.

We have players like Laurie, Rosman, Howes, Woewodin, McVee, Van Rooyen, Turner, Moniz-Wakefield and D Smith who are in the 1st or 2nd year and have not played much football in the last 2 years and may become AFL footballers.

The team last year played 1 player who was recruited in 2020 so we were not depended on 1st year recruits to make up the bottom 6 players in the team.

The only problem I see if the injury gods stay away the team will perform well, hopefully if we get injuries it will not be to the core players and not very long.

    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

    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.
