Hibberd looks like he'll play a role for us yet again this year. 

Always reliable.

He’s a certainty, if fit.Him and Rivers will play Bank flank with Bowey warming the seat for Salem in back pocket.McVee May get a look in sometime later in year. Was quite surprised however in the growth of McVee.

Woey - played on ball, bursts forward whenever he gets it and used it safely. Tough++

Hibbo - too strong and smart for this level, but the legs don’t drive on rebound like they used to

JVR - kicked a couple, didn’t dominate but solid after playing a half for the senior side

AMW - looks fitter, stronger and really dangerous in traffic. If he’s even remotely fit enough for afl he’s good enough

JJ - prolific on ball but not overly dangerous

Disco - took some good marks, but didn’t use it as well as he can. Had an ankle checked at one stage, not sure he’s playing entirely to his best 

Verrell and KFW - both very promising, Verrell more ready as he times his leaps and has more ground ball skill. But KFW follows up and isn’t afraid of getting involved.

Schache - moments of class but outbodied too often by Highmore and others 

Jeffo - just getting started but be clunked a couple and had a couple of nearly moments, didn’t find any easy kicks

Laurie and Howes - both good and bad. Nice to see Laurie on ball. A lot of almost moments from Howes

D Smith - didn’t see him much and didn’t think he did much with it either 

Sestan and K Turner - just getting stated 

Agree with pretty much all you say here, will add a little bit from my viewing.

Verrell in particular for me today...looks really promising.

Hibbo as you say too good for the level, will be great depth this year.

I think AMW will be a step up from Bedford...just a better ball handler and very clean and clever with his ball use. From the track watchers of which you are one I think he has been in rehab for a lot of the preseason so a good performance coming in underdone.

Howes needs to get involved, just goes along for the ride. On his output to date very overrated.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield and Will Verrell adding those young fellas to my book of potential debutants for the season. Has Choco repeated his ‘21 pre-season ritual of burning their birth certificates? That was some voodoo worthy of Papa Doc!

Snache looks spudie to me.

Can't believe I sponsored Tomo.

How many year more do we have him?

What a nasty thing to say. Don’t sponsor a player if this is your attitude.

Also, who is ‘Snache’? And what does ‘spudie’ mean?

Thought Burgoyne showed some real pose and class on the outside. Rarely wastes it.

Which number was he 'dazz'?

I didn't hear him called & don't know him by sight but thought he would have been out there.

I think Burgoyne was number 44.

Found separation, playing half forward flank, when gjven space he moves well and hits targets. Thought the connection with other players was lacking a few times, as he was by himself or doing run ons, but was not given the ball.

You can blame thr commentators for that.

At one stage they had said Luca Goonan had just kicked a goal when in fact it was Andy Moniz Wakefield.

At least they got the right team. Earlier she called a Dees goal that was actually a Saints goal.

It’s not easy to tell the difference between a bright, light blue and red guernsey and a black one.

Jesus poor Tomlinson is getting taught a lesson by the Saints new PPS kid...

Might be an excuse, but playing in a scratch match, as people leave the ground after the main game, in 33 degrees, might not have been a big motivator for Tommo to play at his best.

Then again………..

The beauty is we are certainly adding depth to our back stocks with Turner x 2, Adams and McVee ( a real surprise ) and maybe Smith D as another possible.

Depends on if he wants to play senior footy l suppose

There will have to be a lot of injured players in the back six on that performance

    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

    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

    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
