Pretty good summary YM. The tackling is symptomatic of a team of kids, but even so, it's pretty awful.

Who played on Hawkins?

Who didn't play on Johnson?

All today proves is what we already know; if we have the injuries we had last year, which incidentally is pretty much everyone who missed today (Anyone else concerned?) we will struggle to make the finals!

This is the first time in years I've felt we haven't had depth. A lot of talented but extremely inexperienced youngsters fighting it out against easily the best team in the country.

I do think in 3 years time, our depth will be sensational.

Couldn't tell you who played on Hawkins because he never got near it. Couldn't tell you who didn't play on Johnson because they never got near HIM.

Much of our injury list is a week or two away. Precautionary really.

Shane Valenti - gun

Stef Martin - potential to be a very good, mobile, smart key defender

Aussie - not too bad

Garland - has improved a lot since last year

Buckley - will give us what we have lacked for years. Speed through the midfield

Meesen - will play 22 games this year

McNamara - showed a bit, great stuff for a 17 year old

Sylvia - was a force in the 3rd quarter. This is his year

Jones - the usual great game

Every senior player that played thats not named James McDonald - all complete rubbish (White, Yze, Green, Holland)

I've barracked for the Dees for 40 years and pay for premier membership every year.

I travel interstate at leat 3 times every year. I go to ever Club function (B&Fs, the lot).

I live in Torquay and have to put up with the crap I read about the Handbaggers every day.

But I'll tell you all something for nothing - being equal favourites for the wooden spoon is dead right,

We were flogged today by a team missing their best 4 - Ablett, Scarlett, Chapman and Harley.

Three winners today only - Bell, Meesan and Buckley.

The rest were crap. Don't be conned by what other posters might say.

How Yze can be elected leader is beyond me. He's only interested in kicking 'miracle' goals'.

We were made to look stupid today and if you believe any different you're living in gaga land.

You forgot to mention that we were missing 15 of our best 25, plus our 2 first round draft choices. If you thought that we would be competitive with the side we had, you are delusional.

And by the way, Harley is not in the Cats best 10, let alone top 4.

    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. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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
