Gawn - great without dominating 

Viney - great first half

Petracca - class above everyone 

Salem - not always convincing 

Fritsch - classy ten minutes 

May - brave and impressive 

Lever - continued excellent season

McDonald - turned career around 

Neal Bullen - some impressive moments 

Sparrow - is becoming elite

Howes - maturity belies experience 

vanRooyen - was almost exciting

Langdon - running game returns

Oliver - lacked smooth transitions

Rivers - was mostly classy

McVee - career best game

Windsor - a smooth operator 

Petty - slowly finding form

 Brown - was rarely sighted

 Chandler - great first half

Woewodin - had limited opportunities 

Billings - wasted easy conversions

Pickett - exciting but undisciplined

Billings will not want to watch that game again.  Snatching at chances is one thing, but that attempt at a tackle on Rankin was not our brand.

joeboy - nailed it convincingly 

As an encore for the last Saturday’s heroics not an easy watch. Bayley Fritsch’s cameo almost worth the cost of admission.

Back to regular away game service from the adjudicators. The team within the local team.  Holding the ball, incorrect disposal simply erased from the rule book. Either serial non- decisions, a crow ‘rewarded’ with a free kick or balls it up.

Steven May - man of steel

I can't remember doing the double against the Crows and Powa in the same home and away season, this seems to be a first for mine.

Stand to be corrected.

In 2022 we beat Port in round 4 and then Adelaide in round 16. Both in Adelaide.

Fritta only needs to play about ten mins a game to change it's trajectory.

Definitely an issue. Many would have seen him grimace (at a training session?) when a fan went to shake his injured hand.

I'd like to know the exact problem. A broken bone? Does the club expect it to heal over the bye?

MacDonald  continues with commitment 

He started as a backman, but his disposal was diabolical.

Moved to the forward line where he just had to kick at goal! His disposal has improved 100%. 

He has got slower, so getting the ball and turning towards goal is no longer feasible. Much better defending/attacking the ball without have to turn. Good on him!!

Re BT. Total fool. "Wowee" and "no trouble at all" seem to be his favourites.

Re King. He flip flops so much. Someone referred to his "inane overanalysis". That description was spot on! 

The one commentator who loves the Dees is Montagna.

Those pesky umpires caused Billings to miss 3 goals why didn't they just let him have them again I say....

    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
