Hi guys, 

in your upcoming game preview towards the end of the podcast (vs Carlton), I’d love to hear some ‘more solid’ predictions about what might happen.

I know that’s like asking Richard Dawkins to predict the next genetic mutation of a true believer, but it’d be an interesting exercise to try to pin point what the factors will be for success or failure - eg will loading (in prep for Collingwood) *really* impact the game for us? Will the return of Hunter and the selection of Schache bring the magic back? 

I realise the podcast airs before the team selection, but you get what I mean. What are the main factors that will predict win or loss?

Massive caveats, of course, but I guess what I’m asking is to predict what would normally be only obvious in hindsight.

can you be the buddhas on the mountaintop?

There seems to be lot of talk about lack of effort. Is this the case or is it poor execution? It’s the latter for me. 

I didn't see this until after the podcast but I think we answered it anyway. Thanks for your 5 Star Review on Apple Podcasts. Gave you a shoutout on the show.

Question that’s come up a lot on DL over the last few days. Why is kozzie not getting any of the centre bounces? 

Didn't see this one either until after but it's an interesting question. Some games we seem to roll multiple players through the middle and other we stick with the same 3 or 4. This week was the latter.

Next week we'll do a bigger Preview of the Kings Birthday match.

Amongst all the doom and gloom expressed on these forums, it was refreshing to hear George in particular put it all into perspective and into the context of an entire very long season - hopefully one that last until the very end of September 🤞❤️💙❤️💙

I will listen to this one again whenever I start to get a bit depressed about us not easily winning every game. 🙄

Many thanks.

Great pod again boys, and needless to say, my ears were burning. Thanks binman and George for re-iterating the strain-tear semantics silliness, and reinforcing the 3 weeks for ANY hamstring rule. I don’t doubt the rehab staff will be aiming to get Clarry up for King’s Birthday.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    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.
