For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

 

Thats better from Laurie.  Chandler doing quite well.  Pretty standard.  Run under a couple he probably could have marked in contests but doing quite well so far (at this level).

9 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

Interesting that our otherwise magnificent brains trust can’t work out something that will get / allow the combination to work. 
Something like -

1/ Ben you lead right, Sam stay home

2/ Sam, you lead left, Ben, you stay home. 
 

Surely that sort of thing would have to stop double teaming and keep the defenders on their toes, even if either of BB SW had no intention of the ball coming their way that time. Can’t double team both.

Never want to see umpire Nicholls in the AFL again. Absolutely clueless.

Bounced one metres beyond the circle and didn’t recall it.   Do the umpire selectors just go on how many recalls are done so it is better for a poor bouncer to just ignore recalls.

Weid’s getting to it a lot, but two-grabbing almost every time, and getting spoilt. Turner, Van Rouyen and Ellison’s marking hands are better. Would be shocked if someone doesn’t pick up Ellison in the MSD.

I believe the MSD was just this week. I don't think Ellison was selected?

Casey forwards can't buy a mark

There's no immediate genuine KF option.  Mitch handy as a lead up or tall (get ball to ground) back up option for this season.

Will need to trade in a big hitting impact forward for 2023 imv.

Any notes on AVR?  How is he handling the slippery conditions?

he wasn't, given that it was during the week

surely someone will give him a chance at the end of the season

    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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    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
