To Review or Not To Review
Not sure the players need to review such things, that's up to the football department, but the Coaches and FD definitely need to watch and review. Some players might never play to their ability again if their mistakes are highlighted in full company.

TRAINING: Monday 9th December 2019
AFL or other senior footy, is not, the natural play ground for those with the softer or more gentle disposition. Rather you need more mongrel than pure breed, hungry more than laid back (for personal success, team success, the ball, to beat your opponent), and a hard at it training regime rather than just purely fitness and running. (though both these help). and other things play apart I am sure. I often think a guy who is a plumbers apprentice would be a better choice rather than a champion public school lad whose father runs a successful company and has 6 cars in the garage. Go Dees !!

TRAINING: Monday 9th December 2019
and so I think, he should, his big body running around our forward line gives opposition defenders very serious doubts as to whether or not they are about to be crunched by a B double truck or not. It causes indecision which in turn creates opportunity for our guys !!

I have one there just do not know how I put it there ! if you can help. Many thanks

TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2019
If the players cannot kick or handball or mark the ball, then they need to practice. Otherwise why bother doing any training at all. If using such a ball helps, fantastic, they might achieve 5% improvement, as long as it does not send them backward in skills, its good. The more you practice the luckier you get, (and better you get) in golf, football, relationships, any sport or endeavour you like Should they be proficient in these skill areas is another question. Like kicking for goal from a set shot. No AFL player should miss but they do, and its all clubs. Should foot and hand skills be an item that helps a player to be recruited probably but no point in having these skills if you are where the ball aint ! I did like old Jack ! talked to all the young cheer squad kids, did not matter your club or who your dad was. A bastard as a player perhaps but that was 35 years before. Go hard or go home, Merry Christmas, 2020 I might see a few more wins this year, like the number. Go Dees !!

TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2019
Thanks for all the reports, too much sugar and you get over hyped and the detox is terrible, much better to have a bit of home truths about bad kicking and how fit someone is or isn't. See the negative and enjoy the positive. I think the changes off field and the new recruits are bold, good to see some results from the [censored] of 2019. July 2019 would have been better to change something (like the results of games). not sure how though. I like 2020 much better as a number and a year and we are not there yet. Might even buy my membership again but not until late Jan. Go Dees !!

TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2019
I played on Cambell Brown once .....I complained to the coach at the time Glenhuntly Reservers Federat league probably Pat Sheedy and he said bob, you will never play on a better player in your life ! follow him and enjoy it, and he was right never forgot that I played on a VFL quality player. I think it was only for 3 quarters, the memoery dims....but I have not forgotten that game thanks Pat..

The Splitting of Pick 8
Pick 10 cross out 2 for picks 8 and 9 Still a couple of rated players I think.

The Splitting of Pick 8
Nice man old Jack, I just know there are three types of people in this world, those that can count and those that cannot !!

The Splitting of Pick 8
OK so it does seem clear that Freo will not take whoever we are hoping is still there at 8, if we are targetting X, so we obviously do not want Freo's choice for 8, but who will Carlscum take at 9, and if we do not want that player, then absolutely no loss to go from 8 to 10. Just a win for us. So I must imagine that the recruiters know who Freo will choose and most likely who Carlscum will choose. So our only possible loss is the player picked at 9 and did we want him. So is their a current phantom draft with these swaps in place and who did they have going to the blueduds at 9 ? Any one got any ideas. Go Dees

2019 Player Reviews: #22 Aaron Vandenberg
Overseas in Italy, after a poor football year and other problems that answer 4-6 It made me smile and actually feel better Thanks DJ my wife asked what I was smiling about and that felt good as well. I might even contemplate membership again, no next year to show how upset 2019 made me feel Come on 2020 It’s got to be better . Picks 3 and 8 lets choose wisely go Dees

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
My opinion, With Langdon and Tomlinson in the best 22 (I hope) we should be a better side, Frosty out makes not much difference but I wont have too much heart burn watching him run out of defense, easier to go to the football, but we still have Omac ! I thought he had improved 2018 not sure now. Do we get any one else ???

Jones steps down as captain.
How come I read on Demonology that Jones has stepped down and nothing on land ??

Farewell Sam Frost
My take, only my opinion. he had a better year this year and I think he can get better, not worth high money unless he improves but.. he does not walk on water so is not the saviour of the club. And when he stuffed up it was bad for our defenders and when he grabbed it I had my heart on my mouth. if he goes good! If he stays good! if Melbourne went out of the way to trade him in I think I would be appalled as I think most hawk supporters should be. time will tell Good luck frosty which ever way it goes I will certainly watch what you do , at 26. I don’t think things get better again time will tell we need better players than we have on 2019 that’s for sure go dees 2020

Gday did any one else listen to ABC football today interview with his brother. It was suggested that Ed would move to Melbourne FC next year the reply was that he did not think it was set in stone yet. Cheers Did I hear it correctly getting old and a bit deaf !!
