Bowie? Why?

Expand  

I like Bowie and he kicks well. Spargo kicks well though not over 40m, and has been poor lately along with several of our small forwards.  
We have tons of pretty good back flankers who fit in with our defense.        It's far enough out from finals not to mess things up while we briefly see if Bowie might help our relatively poor forward line.

JB is a great player. Just having a poor series with the gloves. On fire before he stuffed up his knee late last year on the golf course.

Been a long time since I've seen an experienced keeper have this terrible a test series. The contrast between he and Alex Carey could hardly been more striking

Bairstow... Bairstow... Nup; can't place him. But I reckon Tommo, or Smitho, or Hibbo will go to him.

Dees by an innings and 25 points.

I wouldn’t sit in that temporary stand at Old Trafford if my life depended on it. Especially right up the top. It looks like a collapse waiting to happen. There’s no protection overhead, nor at the sides. It makes level 4 nosebleeds at the ‘G look inviting.

Did we ever do anything good in your view though?

Expand  

Yes Plenty Old but playing injured players is something I cannot agree with/ What about you?

There was simply no reason not to play Tommo in my view and there has been nothing explained

Injury management was a problem last season it is reasonable in my view to ask the question

I wish there was more footage of it, looked like something out of Tad Lasso.

I haven't seen Ted Lasso but taking a punt for potential good social veneer.

Look, I love Bowie. He’s been an inarguable legend and made a lot of his supporters very happy over the years. But he is very prone to massive dips in form. In fact it’s fair to say that the thirty years between “Absolute Beginners” and “Blackstar” were, from both an artistic and AFL perspective, a real walk through the desert.

If Tex and Rankine can be kept quiet, we will win easily.

I would say so. Tex's year has been exceptional, only 1 goal behind Curnow in the Coleman. Rankine is one of the best forward 50 stoppage players in the comp, gotta watch those ground balls in defensive 50.

Yes there's Fogarty, Rachele and Thilthorpe who can get on the scoreboard but things up forward do tend to flow from the other two and I'd rather make them try to beat us with their 3rd, 4th and 5th options.

    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.
