Any worries about Salem? Goodwin said he was subbed off after some knee soreness I think. He looked a bit proppy in the third. 

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle

rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

So you would prefer that our captain, whilst still on the field, criticises his teammate, who we all know is trying hard to clean his life up and come back from a poor pre-season, because he couldn’t

I think Windsor has to go. Couldn’t even execute basic handballs last night. Needs a rest.

Also AnB must tag Zorko and we need Petty to play a defensive forward role on Andrews. If we can nullify those two we might get a look in.

Yep agree but you may have forgotten their mids. They are miles in front ours and give good service to their forwards who are looking dangerous even Hipwood.

Oliver hates him too after the eye gouge in the 2022 SF.

Can't see this ending up in anything other than a 40+ point lions win, hope I am wrong however.

As I mentioned in the non MFC thread today, how is it that Brisbane keep drafting and successfully blooding goal kicking forwards, and now have 2 more in Lohmann and Morris that are now established in their best 22.

They got Danniher from Essendon and Hipwood out of the academy.

I agree - 2 teams going opposite directions right now.  Swans look unstoppable however if Brisbane get back to their best they could take them on GF day

Also think Carlton and Collingwood could account for Sydney on GF day, but that's for another thread.

We have plenty of tickets available for this match. A number of folks who’d registered interest in tickets have informed us they can’t/won’t attend.

We sit behind the goals in section 16/17, Wellington Rd end (Gate 8). No opposition colours in our bay. Dees only. 👍🏽

If interested, please email…

We can win if we win the centre clearance (easier said than done against Brisbane but crucial at the GABBA) and kick straight.

I think our structure would look better with Turner in defence and TMac forward.

Tomlinson does not have a great match up even if Lever fails to get up.

Oliver to be rested for the remainder of this year

Come at me....

I'm not sure that would be good for his mental health - keep him active and involved. Boredom and disengagement can be toxic.

Agree and I'm not trying to be obtuse with my suggestion, or controversial

I wonder if he could be in the coaches' box as he gets his mind and body right?

2025, with all the stars aligning, we'll have The Trac back, and a rejuvenated Clayton?

Yep I agree chook, I still think we'd be better running him as sub for a while and give some youngsters a crack first.

Having him come on midway through the third as an impact player might be a better way to manage his fitness levels for the moment. Might be a better way to reduce his frustration with the heavy tags flright from the start of games too.

Can't See it happening though.

Can't see him being dropped either with Tracc out now.

He is one of the best midfielders I've ever seen. God I hope he gets back to his best somehow and he's still wearing our jumper.

A wicked problem for everyone at the club right now

I'll be there. Looking forward to it as I think we are winning this one.

$4.50 head to head @binman and +28.5 at the line. Tempting.........

He can remain active and involved at Casey. Not sure why he is playing tbh, he is not helping in anyway.

Not playing - just training and doing extra sessions, that he has to pay for

I'm sure he can afford it

No way - Howes, Tholstrup, Turner, Brown - these guys need to play every game this year, to see if they're going to make it

It's about 2-3 year planning now....2024 is cooked

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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
