Hope the coach gives Kozzy the occasional short run on the ball (particularly the occasional centre bounce) to get him up and about.

Why, when he has he does nothing he ain't a midfielder..

Hoping the battle hardened way will prevail over the easy way. I know we’re carrying injuries but I live in hope.

Not thinking ahead too much but by the time prelim day hits Geelong will have played 1 game in a month and 1 competitive game in 6 weeks. 
 

Agree, one game at a time

Pretty sure it comes from english slang.  to 'bottle it', is to choke or lose your nerve. not only in sporting terms. ie. didn't have the nerve to ask a girl out

Funnily enough, when I hear the expression "bottle it" it's being used in a positive sense, meaning that whatever is being praised is good enough to put into bottles and sell, just like a good wine.

We always have a secret weapon when we play Brisbane. That weapon is Joe Daniher.

Hoping for some more slapstick magic and hand on hips second efforts from him tonight.

Weather wise things looking good.  Only one forecast, Access G3 (which draws data from BOM and unfortunately tends to be the most accurate) predicts a small shower (0.2mm) at around 8pm.

So no excuses, rock up and be very loud!

I got Melbourne on my mind. Though the story of royalty makes it hard to be 100%.

Pressure, run, transition well from attack and defence, get over the nerves quickly, play in the moment and take the opportunities. 

It will be a tough game, fighting for everything.

We are a proven big game team and must go in with plenty of confidence. 

I want our leaders and best, to take it up to them and have great games. They will drag the rest with them.

C'mon coaches, make the decisions quickly about our style and structure during the game. Get them up and successful. 

Go Dees!

I am hoping if it's close  he'll do a Rohan with 2 minutes on the clock and kick the goal to seal it.

He's been trying for mark of the year for two seasons now so it's time he actually catches one. 

Mind you his block to let Trac do his Daicos snr goal last year was pretty snazzy   much unrecognised and gave a needed boost to Tracs goal kicking reputation (!!!)

Tonight’s banner has a stunning pic of Lever, Maxy, Dogga and Tracc. It will look spectacular when raised. (I’m sure other teams’ cheer squads must be envious of our banners. We’re blessed to have in the DA a rusted-on Dees diehard who runs a printing company, and the quality of his work is next level.)

And to the left of the pic there’s written in huge letters: 

WE’RE NOT DONE YET!

I can’t remember exactly the wording on the flip side (even though I cut the letters out 🤭) but I do know it includes the words ‘unbeatable’ and ‘repeatable’ so one gets the gist of it. ❤️💙

i can see 2, maybe 3 gingers in that pic, wcw. so, which one is the famous wcw?

They still control the reigns on game day. Now the squad is selected the aspects of going in unchanged is irrelevant. 

Would prefer them to make actions then sit on their hands (which they have done in the past), if Brissy starts taking control or we need to get rolling.

You want them to be non proactive or reactive?

Maybe you misinterpreted my intentions, or you are holding onto something about the coaches?  

In style, the tempo, take it on, play percentages, 

In structure, extra players at the contest, or in defence,  push up the field from defense, crowd the ball, play one on one.

I could keep going, I hope you get my gist.

The coaches have to make quick decisions during the game and not just let it roll on. 

That is my opinion (seriously), if joking I would have said bring Yze on as our med sub.

Any ideas?

    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

    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.
