Think Carlton Reserves Twitter spat the dummy but thank you to them for providing timely score updates even if we had to wait until the Blues goals.

I can just imagine what they are saying.....

"It's only a practice match. Player fitness and trialling game plan the most important thing, the real stuff starts next game, etc, etc"

I have copied the above paragraph and may use it tonight 😬

It’s only ever a practice game when you lose.

Clarry - High energy, dominated at times; no one could go with him. Lots of run and carry, got better as the game went on.

Jefferson - Took a big pack mark and goaled from 40. Looks a real player. 

Tholstrup - Super impressive. Brilliant crumbing goal and played time in the middle.

T Mac - Looked comfortable down back. Good communication with Hore

Hore - Did bits and pieces. Solid

Fullarton - Rucked most of the game. Promising signs

Woey - Didn't see much game time, but played in the middle

Great signs to hear Oliver play so well. In my opinion, get him in for round 0 as it seems as though when Clarry is playing AFL footy, he is his best self. He's also the goat.

Also very encouraging to hear that Jefferson was presenting well and a solid target. He was always going to be a slow burn but, there's definitely something to work with. People are quick to forget that the kid is only 19 years old and has years of development left in him. It's not until at least year 3 that he'll be able to really show his strengths and build his fitness base.

Kolt is exactly the type of forward/mid we need who has tidy foot skills, a good overhead mark, some burst away from stoppages and an innate goal sense. He adds another dimension to the forward line for years to come and the type of player I think we are definitely lacking if Trac isn't up forward.

All the talk is about who we've lost in the midfield with Brayshaw obviously being the one that really hurts. Outside of that, Dunstan was insurance at best, Harmes was cooked and JJ (who I do like) didn't really have any standout attributes and was constantly on the fringe. We've been able to pick up Windsor, Kolt and Brown who all look talented and add speed and class to the mix as well as Billings who is a senior body and adds some polish to the forward 50 entries. We also have Woey and Laurie who are ready to take a jump although, clearly not near the calibre of Gus. Although the 4 coming in are unproven and the Brayshaw loss really does sting, it's not all doom and gloom and there's a number of viable options to collectively step up and cover.

Looking forward to a great year, up the Dees!

Good write up.

The way I'm viewing Brayshaw this year is like he did an ACL, which could happen to anyone. We would have to find a replacement in that instance for the 2024 season.

From 2025 on we will have the salary cap to go and find someone from another club if we feel the need.

This is not diminishing the loss of Gus, which is massive. Just that every side will have to deal with some type of injury issue throughout the year.

I’m delighted for Matty. He’s such a sweet kid, I love him. I know I say that about all the young kids but I have a soft spot for Matty since he helped me at the KB BBQ last year - and because we share the same birthday, a few years apart of course. Don’t anyone say a word! 😡

You know what grinds my gears. HOw much the media was going to town on Oliver when he was in the pits, going through god knows what. Now that he has gotten through his 2nd game and is hopefully on the way back to the best version of himself, not a peep. No good story. Perhaps it is a little premature, but what about a little positive reinforcement from the industry to let him know that we are all happy to see him on the mend.

TMac and Jefferson played the entire game this morning, so though named in the squad tonight, I expect limited minutes, if any. Tholstrup was pulled at half-time, so good chance he gets more game time tonight. Honorable mention for Andy M-W not mentioned above - very creative and dynamic around goals. Not much for Adams to do but he took some nice intercept marks.

    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
