I'll be very, VERY surprised if we win this. Collingwood just look primed to absolutely go nuts. Just like Freo. Brace yourselves fam.

That’s the spirit @praha

So it would be really great if trac, both browns & kozzie get busy this quarter

Too tall, M Brown should never be playing, Kozzie was passed by Oliver in a chase down… Sparrow still isn’t in good form, Trac is slowly getting better. 
We need to a lift off those lesser players Fritta and M Brown getting marks inside 50 would help too.

Correct, he serves no purpose, doesn’t crash packs and can’t take a contested mark.

I would much rather Weid up forward despite his recent performances.

Or JVR. Young and not ready but he gives a crack. Weid and Mitch Brown appear not wanting to hurt anyone in a contest

Given the last few weeks and the fact that the Pies should be up right now, they'll be smelling blood in the water.

If we don't come out firing, we lose. We look tired and it's going to take a few more games to get our mojo back. Today is about getting a win to settle things.

Geez we look like a pale imitation of ourselves from last year.

Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well 

Unforgiveable.

It's obvious from level 4 of the ponsford we are just not moving. We get the ball and the team is stagnant. No one leading into space. M.brown non existent

Yep and this is the case in general around stoppages and in game play.

A few too many handball receivers are flat footed but....this is also being brought about by one or two extra (unecessary)  handballs to a nearby player drawing further pressure.

Too me this is a structural adjustment thing.  Get the outliers out a little further so they have a tad more time to change lanes after the receive & execute by foot or get the overlap going over the top by hand.

We just have to find a way to hang on. We rely on Oliver at clearances way to much. Mitch Brown looks like an old man.

And yet, up until 2 weeks ago everything was going great. Is it complacency?

    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
