Life is too short to waste time hating other clubs and their supporters. Sadly, we just have to admit that the Cats are worthy premiers for 2022. But at least Melbourne still have more VFL/AFL premierships than Scott's mob.

Warner sensational in a losing side. The rest of the Swans team embarrassingly bad.

Honest question about where AFL football is at. Why can seemingly no players kick with their non preferred foot any more? Or are they advised not to because of some analysis of the likely outcome of using it?

So many times players are breaking in a certain direction and have to stop and double back to get on their preferred foot.

Why has this skill fallen away so much over the last 20 to 30 years? These guys are now full time footballers...

Fast track development means the talent is matched against equal talent at quite a young age.

In the old days a coach would tell a very good player that for a season  (say under 16) play using the non preferred only.

Just doesn't happen anymore

And just like that, geelong now become the hunted, everyone will dissect their game plan and will play their granny against them every week, they have the weight of expectation. 

They might be able to handle it fine but I'm glad our boys can have somewhat of a break from the overwhelming expectation we had every week.

You could see the moment on the siren when Hawkins looked over and saw Gary Rohan, and he clearly thought to himself….

’I still reckon you’re an average bloke who can’t play finals, and shouldn’t have left his wife when she was pregnant with your child to shack up with our team Physio’.

It was a nice moment.

Just now, Sir Why You Little said:

We did that 2 weeks ago. Straight Sets

Totally unacceptable 

Spot on, we could not beat the lions or Swans and we see how well they did the following couple of weeks. We can commence 2022 without that swans disaster hanging round out necks.

What a damp squib

Swans won't be a factor next year. Not after this shellacking.  I'm not convinced by the pies or Lions

It's us v the cats in 2023. I'm looking forward to it already

    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

    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
