Without a doubt, Mark Riley has one of the toughest jobs in football trying to coach a decimated rabble passing itself off as a football team at the moment but he's surely not ahead of the likes of Guy McKenna and Chris Bond when it comes to his ability to coach a team. The mob out there yesterday played with no discipline, no nous and some of the things that went on in terms of accountability etc were simply horrendous. Ward kicking in pffffft. Jamar? Bruce on Tarrant after being out for a month? OMG. This is all starting to remind me of the script for the Producers.

I know Bruce is good, but tarrants strength is his running, if bruce was fit he would have killed him, even so did an ok job.

Isn't that the point?

Bruce wasn't fit and it wasn't a clever match up at al!

I think our final 5 is problematic.

Really, Riley is only there because you don't want to pull the rug from under him when the season is still going. He won't get the job. Which means there is actually a shortlist of 4.

Of that 4, Connolly would be a shocking choice. How a tried failure would be preferable to an untried unknown is beyond me.

That leaves 3.

Sheedy, Hardwick and Bailey.

Why Hardwick and Bailey are in a better position than Bond, Longmire, McKenna, etc... is hard to know, but I guess we have to trust the process.

But yes, I believe it's down to 3.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
