The Premiership Window Closing?
Serious overtime at Casey (blowing-a-gale) fields can have that effect Mr Fence

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 15th December 2023
Your curiosity need look no further gents. I have it on good authority that the club refers to this as anti-WC (C for cyclone... so that's Walking Cyclone) fencing!!

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 15th December 2023
If the usual Nor'wester gale was blowing WC they could spend every minute of every training session practicing goal kicking and still end up with a zero sum gain on our second half of 2023 accuracy i reckon. Just my view but i'm guessing it would be a shizen ground for any kicking skills / kicking execution type training or anything where the air conveyance needs to be air borne and hit a.target or get anywhere near it! I'd take Gosch's almost every day over Casey from this perspective.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 15th December 2023
Thanks again Mr Fence. I hope you took a few frothies with you on your trek out to the Casey everglades. Glad to see you didn't feel the need to refer to Series 3, episode 4... "The Day The World Ended", even though i personally feel this to be the more appropiate reference whenever i've ventured out there over the years!

PRESEASON TRAINING: Closed Sessions at Casey until 2024
Pretty sure this is old footage of Picket after taking a wrong turn just outside the fence on one of his Casey training missions last winter!

Training Ground?
Very central. Looks promising but only time will tell. Would be a major step up from the blowy hole out in the sticks at Casey which is 45 minutes travel or more for most Melb metro residents. Thunderbirds are go! Just hope i survive to see it if it gets the go ahead.

Another MVP from Mr Fence!

AFLW: SF vs Geelong
Agreed i can't stand all that hype rubbish. Just get out there and play white line fever (like Demons) every game. That's all that matters from that point and it shouldn't need constant pre-match re-emphasise via corporate branding / vids etc. Very cringeworthy.

AFLW: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Lack of run and very disappointing skills. Fumbled and bumbled all night and for a team that is lauded for its run & carry via slick handball prior to the match, along with dominating hard ball gets, this aspect seemed to dry up pretty badly in this one. You would think the commentators were getting mixed up and referring to Brissy as they were the ones bringing the run and and much slicker game that connected well. They were also the ones picking up most of the loose ball stuff and easily matched or bettered us with the contested hard ball side. We stopped hand balling / running and mostly just kept bombing down the line. Occasional switch across HB but very little changing of angles when coming through the corridor & forward. Whereas Brissy did very well in this regard i thought. A number of times we had two to three loose players in the middle but they were ignored and instead we mostly punted down the line to a congested cotest and much of the time over the heads of our girls up forward who were mostly pushed under the ball by clever play from their Brissy defenders, who then took the easy uncontested mark out the back. Starting to appear like no Paxy, no Demons (against the best clubs anyway)? Don't think you can play all three talls of Zank, Bannan and Taylor up forward either. Probably would have asked Bannan to cover their big forward (Davidson?) after quarter/half time. She was in pretty good form and Bannon played her early career in this role from memory.

Harry DeMattia
I particularly liked this part from that same.article... ..."I've been fortunate enough to captain Stingrays and Vic Country this year, so it stems from a young age but it's more about being selfless."

Welcome to Demonland: Pick 11
Only going by what i've read / listened to Colm. Most are saying these four will be likely gone. You could be correct though of course and if so that would be a decent result. If that is the case i'd also be pretty chuffed if we picked up DeMattia with 11 as well. The guy has some wheels and a pretty decent left foot on him. We need some speed on the outside and a raking left foot wouldn't do any harm either coming inside 50.

Welcome to Demonland: Pick 11
Missing the point. For our needs many have said Sanders is possibly the best fit for us, and some are saying Caddy next up if we can't get hold of Sanders. The other is of course McKercher sitting alongside Sanders (only my view). My preference is Sanders by a fair margin and following that i'd go Caddy. You obviously won't agree and will say (using our current hand without any changes) Curtin/Leake etc. Others will agree with you. All good. The problem with our present hand of 6 & 11 (from my amature keyboard seat) is that it probably won't get us either of those first two. I'd rather have one of them (Sanders all day every day) than none of them and have to settle for somewhat less attractive prospects with our current hand (only my view) such as Leake. If we are willing to trade up to get one (in this case Sanders if we got pick 3), and North were willing, why wouldn't we? Sanders/McKerchen are a bit away from Reid sure, but then there's a gap between those three and the next 8 or so. Then a fair gap between those 11 (or so) and many of the rest bar Demattia who i believe seems a bit under rated in many if the so called expert rankings. P.S. im hapoy to cop any heat on Sanders, Caddy & DeMattia also. Many on here scoffed at me (and Ollie, although he was into and out of alot of options at times lol) when i was pushing hard to use a higher pick for Kozzy in the 2019 draft as well. He was sitting at around 30 odd in the rankings at the time and many thought my suggestion was crazy.

Welcome to Demonland: Pick 11
Is it worth trading 6 & 11 for P3 from North to ensure we get Sanders or Caddy? Otherwise there's a good chance we don't get either. My preference is Sanders from a needs perspective. My view means nothing of course but i feel he's the best target for us if available (behind Reid). That's if they would of course. The only reason they probably would is to accommodate a trade for 1 with WC.

Phantom Drafts 2023
Would rather get Sanders (will be gone unfortunately) or Caddy over Leake.

Yes there's no reason why talent can't be found outside horse. Angus Hastie one example of someone who shows a bit.

The Pick 1 Thread
As per Jack, IF true that would be a massive overs offer. In points WC would need to come back with pick 10 for a parity outcome if you assume our F1 would fall at around 18 or so. Higher than pick 10 if our F1 was likely reap a better outcome. As his adversaries often responsed to agent 86's far fetched excuses when he was caught red-handed spying... "I find that hard to believe"

Might have been some irony in there
