Loved what I saw from the young kids. Kolt, Windsor and Roo fantastic. 

Last quarter without Max was always going to be a battle. Anyone know what’s wrong with him? 

He had a sneezing fit and so, deserved a rest. He dominated the ruck duels and the occasional follow-up, but when he drifted upfield or downfield, he frightened the Weagles into desperate patterns.

Enjoyed that, future looks good with our youth, shame JVR missed a couple of easy set shots but all in all a very positive day. Can see the want to take the game on and better ball movement slowly coming together now

Was that the Chandler that most of you guys want to drop?

Incredible!

Chandler was very serviceable. What great ground coverage to advantage.

We are starting to look good again and have our energy and pressure game back.

Great bunch of talented kids and forward line is taking shape and looks better just with Melkys presence.

JVR is the one.

Anything can happen from here , but geez I’d love to have Trac back.

Just to prove I don’t only whinge when we lose :  that insufficient intent given against the WCE player who belted the ball forward was absolutely stupid. He was clearly trying to get it to 2 teammates all on their own 30m away.   Came off his fist slightly off and went 20m and went out. Good grief

Loved our defensive intent and much of our intent around the ball. I felt the eagles ran it through the middle too easily at times, and I noticed that some of the new younger boys like AMW, Kolt, and Turner were sometimes slow to respond from a turnover.

Love these new younger players being given a run. Windsor and Kolt earning their place and repeatedly looking AFL ready.

Kozzie finally holds a speccy, the Roo dominating the air, The Milkshake is back and his class immediately evident. 

More than happy with that win.

Would’ve been nice to claw back a bit more percentage but no complaints - we smashed them. It was a game dominated by youth - Rivers and van Rooyen in particular as best players. Despite the disappointing season this list has a lot of upside, and this season isn’t over yet.

Just need a very smart and good recruiting in the offseason, couple of players for our midfield and draft some depth for our fwd line.

Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor. 

Starting to look like he belongs with Stringer at Essendon or DeGoey at the Filth.

What happened between him and Gawn?

Forwards provided leads 😁😁

Forwards sought out space and overlaps 😁😁

Backs dispersed for clearances 😁😁

Set shot shooters generally increased their run-up delivery distances 😁😁

The wisdom of Demonland persistence to demand youth exposure to the team worked profitably 😁😁

Great outcomes that stunned the Weagles.

He was getting stuck into Kolt and Gawn wasn’t having it. 

Needs to actually achieve something before he goes off half cocked at everyone. Very uncool behavior from a first year player.

That’s the kind of act the AFL should be doing everything in its power to encourage. Creative and chaotic. An Eagles player could have run onto that and kicked goal of the year and everyone would be lauding Liam Ryan for his creativity.

Umpires don’t need to be forcing players to be robotic. Nobody wins then.

Koltyn has great energy and really needs to stay in the side, he was terrific today.

Probably he can walk the talk  and don't argue with the critics.

He may mature and get a lot better don't you think?

Eagle chicks are ugly, scrawny, lice-ridden, snotty, greasey, windblown and smelly. Even they grow up to be very close to perfection. We still have a way to go; it just happens that we are closer to that eventual point than the WCE...

Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. 
If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. 

There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights.

    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
