It seems odd that we can go from fast flowing attacking plays to looking slow and getting spanked.

Is anyone worried about this or passing it off as simply preseason?

I don't think it's too worrying, although good teams always seem to have a knack of winning, regardless of situation and without excessive exertion.

Exactly the same as last week.

Note: If we're in front at 3qtr time at ANY stage during the year, don't take it for granted...

We have to assume the defense will concede a minimum 5 goals for the term.

Don't be silly ... as if we will ever be in front at 3qtr time!

Any game where you get outscored after the first quarter by 12 goals to 4 is a bad sign, it just goes back to some of the heartless performances we have put up in the past.

That's actually 14 goals to 4 since we kicked the 1st 5 of the game.

From Diablo via Jaded in the game thread:

Diablo's best: Davey, Bate, Jones, Sylvia

Special mentions: Miller and Carroll who battled hard.

White and Meesen were good around the ground at times.

Absolutely pathetic no matter what spin is put on it!

That was an exhausting two hours of messaging and frustration.

I'm thinking it's time to open that bottle of wine I got in the fridge.

Here's to the start of some meaningful games, and to Robbo getting off his report charge.

Jaded have a glass of that wine for me (bloody medication) and thanks for all your work tonight.

Same appreciation goes to Diablo, Ding and Faultydet who's reporting was great, even if the performance wasn't......

They didn't want to win, nor did they plan to win - It's part of the grand old plan

Rest easy ;)

OMG.... what a year we have to look forward too.... things can only improve !!!!!

Thanks for all the reports... now time for a red or two or three

Huge thanks on ding-via-faultydet and Diablo-via-Jaded for the updates, on behalf of everyone. It is very much appreciated.

Yes thanks fellas...

We know full well what we can expect from the usual suspects but most disappointing was that it sounds like the young blokes didn't make much of a contribution.

What part of Davey, Bate, Jones and Sylvia being BOG did not register? Or are they not considered young blokes anymore?

For the love of all that is red and blue, please nobody start with the wrist slashing already.

Totally agree. Just a sensational effort guys. Thanks!!

There were seemingly no injuries and it was the first hitout for a number of our players. And said players were reportedly going to play around 60% of the match.

I'd hate to be in the trenches with you people.

I'll wait til the performance I'm given on round 1. I won't slag off about a match I didn't see and when I'm not privvy to the FD's agenda.

But I'm sure the experts on here will knock themselves out.

We've just been pumped by 23 goals over 3 weeks, 2 of our opposition sides were rubbish

First hitouts? You DO need help from experts

Just read the match thread on 'ology and it's seemed like over half their goals were kicked from frees.

My only hope that i am hanging on is, even though we had a strong team, not all players can produce a quality performance first up. We rested Greeny and Junior who played the first 2 games, we have Bruce and Rivers(i hope) to come back in and with a couple of extra weeks to get it together before round 1 against an understrengthed Hawks, we may be alright.

No point peaking in Febuary.

Couldn't have said it better! Round 1, or even round 5 will give us a better indication of where we are at. The season hasn't even started and the knockers have us dead and buried. I'm still optomistic.

    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

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
