Why is it that the Pies small forwards always have so much space and Kossie has to work his way through a cast of thousands.

They kick to loose men and we bomb it in usually to the boundary.

Loved that chase by Hunt.  Was a mile off and they looked like they were going to waltz in and slam it through for a goal, but Hunt's chase and pressure they kicked to the square and it got rushed through or something.

Exactly the sort of act which will see him hold his place in the team.

That was an epic chase - was traveling 3 times faster than the ball carrier

Moderately happy if still nervous but whats with our obsession with that pocket!?!!

PS - I love BBB.

Yes! Missing so many free players dead centre and straight in front and kicking to contests in a dead left hand pocket. Just weird

Seeing pies in person shows me why they have won 10 in a row, such a hard running team, they might be getting smashed round the ball but you can’t deny they know when to get on the bike. If they outlast us we might get overrun

Stop kicking to the pockets

everyone stop flying for marks in the pockets ok?

couple Of times - Jackson and brown - ignored streaming runners top of 50 right in front and elected to kick to pockets instead

 

Fix cr-p decision making and we win this

we need a KPF like McKay king etc who can rake marks and an epic CHF

Spot on. Why the pockets?? It’s so easy to defend

Because we always kick it to the same pocket.

....and then it goes over the back for an easy clearance. It's infuriating. I think the point is to lock it in there but it's not working.

This is a very entertaining game but I would rather it not be so entertaining and us have more control over it even though we should be a lot further in front. 
Oliver’s timing of hitting the ball at clearances looks strangely off, Max if he had kicked straight would be having some game really needs to sort his goal kicking out.

Loved the unselfish handball from Fritta in the first!  Take a bow son.

Time to shove that fork where it don't shine Demons!!

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
