Appreciate that, not sure how that’s fair though.

It’s not fair but unfortunately it’s something that won’t ever change. To make matters more annoying, we can’t sit in the first three rows because of a combination of the fence being too high and the convex field.

Because we were ot good enough for a half of footy. Our midfield is wildly out of form. 

Well they had better find form very quickly, otherwise we are just making up the numbers. The truth is, Carlton are not that good, as evidenced by tonight. But right at the moment they have our number. And it annoys the f..k out of me

It’s an interesting point Richo keeps making about the Swans. They’ve had 17 players play every game.

At the top injuries are the deciding factor come crunch time.

Winning the centre 

We don’t win the centre enough. Unsurprisingly when we do we kick quick goals.

Our midfield as good as it is (supposed to be), continues to be beaten at clearance when it matters. A lack of depth doesn’t help.

Fix this and we are serious contenders.

Question. Is Blakey the decent teams version of Frosty   Runs just as fast and what the hell is he going to go do when he runs out of space ?

That was a dangerous tackle against Rivers on Rozee.

How was that sling tackle not dangerous? 

Yet they ping JVR for a Carlton stager when it was clearly HTB and a resultant goal.

Umpire joke fest continues

How good is his bounce at speed, mad skill level.

Cheer squads these days are too soft. In the 1960’s we’d sleep overnight at every H&A game* in order to secure seats behind the goals.

*not Vic Park or Windy Hill - too dangerous.

I know the set up coz I live 25km from the ground and a heap of my mates are Cats’ members. Whenever they’ve built a new stand they’ve relocated supporter groups, usually to a better spot.

Up until now we couldn’t possibly have sat in a worse part of the ground. The wind coming up from the race is bitingly cold, and we’re close enough to their cheer squad to see and hear them which isn’t pleasant. 😁

Our main extractor is usually Viney Beetle.

He's carried that stinger for around 3 weeks now and ever since then his form has started dropping off.

IF he's still carrying that and there's a 'managed' rested solution that helps him fully recover and get back to his best, surely you would take it during this 10 day break plus another 7 before the Saints?

Even if it meant bringing in Laurie or Kolt to play that role for this week against a bottom 4 club.

You just answered your own question.  Absolutely should go, but won't.

On that basis, he won’t get any weeks.

Sydney VG at chipping the ball inside 50 to a slight advantage of fellow player in a 1 v 1.  It doesn't always come off but the % of successes / retention of ball inside 50 must be pretty high vs the average.

A great asset to have as it means you're finishing off the hard work prior to that, taking more shots at goal,  allowing the press to be set nicely behind the ball and giving players a chance to recover while the shot clock's counting down.

One way traffic after quarter time.  Still Sydney did kick a score of sorts in the first quarter

    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
